Trust is Built in Small Moments
Trust doesn't emerge from grand gestures but from small, everyday actions that demonstrate genuine care and attention. Brown illustrates this with her daughter's story about a 'marble jar friend,' who earned trust through simple, considerate actions. She notes, 'Trust is in fact earned in the smallest of moments. It is earned not through heroic deeds, or even highly visible actions, but through paying attention, listening, and gestures of genuine care and connection.'
