#03 Trust, Rapport & The Art of Genuine Connection

In this episode, Ramon and Divya dive deep into the essential foundations of building trust and rapport in coaching and leadership settings.

They explore how vulnerability, presence, and active listening create meaningful first impressions and strengthen human connection—especially in professional environments undergoing change.

With real-life examples from their coaching work, they highlight how trust is both personal and structural, touching on individual relationships and broader team dynamics.

Drawing from frameworks like Patrick Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team and personal construct theory, they challenge listeners to examine the mental lenses through which they view trust, vulnerability, and strength.

The episode ends with powerful reflective questions to bring more psychological flexibility into your relationships—at work and beyond.
