Frequently Asked Questions

The Trust Multiplier explores why trust is the rarest and most powerful currency in leadership today. It shows how *Presence* (showing up authentically and making others feel seen) combined with *Cultural Intelligence* (bridging differences with empathy and respect) multiplies trust—turning competence into real influence across teams, cultures, and borders. It’s not a textbook; it’s a gentle conversation with stories, reflections, and practices to help you lead with heart.

Leaders, executives, managers, young professionals, educators, and anyone navigating diverse teams or global relationships.
