If you’re curious to hear what spycraft, leadership, and building strong relationships have in common, keep listening. Author, speaker and former FBI agent Robin Dreeke used to recruit spies for a living so he knows how to create a relationship and build trust with all kinds of people! Today Robin and I talk about how to shift the focus from yourself to others, the 6 signs to predicting behavior and inspiring trust, and how to avoid manipulation in sales or leadership by understanding also the crucial difference between convincing someone and inspiring someone. Stay tuned for a refreshing take on understanding human behavior and how that understanding can lead to rich relationships and phenomenal success.

Key Takeaways:

• Shift the focus from yourself and validate without judging. Validation doesn’t mean you agree, it means you seek to understand.
• Transparency is the key to ensure there is no manipulation or expectation of reciprocity. That's great leadership
• Always take full accountability for your actions first when things go sideways. 
• Don’t allow yourself to be collateral damage for other people’s insecurities. 

You cannot have a great conversation where someone is going to be inspired to share information with you unless they trust you.  —  Robin Dreeke
