Part of the huge job in successfully building healthy communities lies in accurately identifying behaviors that lead to breakdowns which impede progress. Episode II will explore co-work processes which enable organizations to effectively build and maintain internal trust; while also examining models of coalition development that map targeted, evaluative measures, which create effective collaborations and cultures of trust.

Highlights of the Episode

In public health, and public health, it's essential to have trust between those who provide services and those who are consumers of services

In the line of in working with organ procurement organizations and hospitals and physicians, you know, ultimately, our focus is on these families that have lost a loved one

Trust and integrity, that, for me is foundational trust means everything

Trust is woven into every aspect of what we do

You can tell who people are pretty much in the first 10 seconds

It's not about being successful in your organization, it's about being successful with people

It is making sure that you can give everything that you have of yourself, to help them and that gaining something in return

We have to break down those words and concepts, and perhaps shape them in a way that's culturally appropriate and sound for our community

If you go into a hospital, and your expectation is for your loved ones life to be saved, and you don't know that they have died, and there has been times where the conversation of organ donation has happened prematurely of a person dying

I started that conversation with my daughter and family. It's in my advanced directive that I'm an organ donor

Trust is always talking to that person where they are without any assumptions without trying to push them into a box or category
