I build teams that trust, so that we reach our full potential. As an Army Aviation Officer and Special Operations Pilot, I learned that building teams based on trust is the key to success. In my spare time, I coach youth travel basketball and one of my objectives is to build a team of players that trust me, trust one another, and trust the process. By building trust, I help players establish and maintain an understanding that they belong, they have a role to play, and that we need them. If they are not at their best for whatever reason, they can rely on me and their teammates to help them through so we can achieve our goals. This is a metaphor for how I like to operate in my professional life as well. When I can establish teams and foster relationships built on trust in what we are doing and how we do it, these teams succeed in reaching their goals.
