How Trust Changed Everything: From Corporate Layoff to Executive Coach:

"I found myself laid off at 52... it was a difficult time.". In this episode of Consulting Insights, Laura Burford sits down with Executive Coach and Author Ken Sher to discuss why technical skills alone don't lead to success. Ken shares his journey from a 25-year career at Johnson & Johnson to launching his own coaching practice after a sudden corporate layoff. We dive deep into the T.R.U.S.T Success Model, a proprietary framework designed to transform leadership, culture, and the job search by focusing on five critical pillars: -Transparency: Sharing information so others can make informed decisions. -Results: Setting clear expectations and focusing on how you achieve them. -Understanding: Helping people get where they want to go, even if it means they leave. -Simplicity: Keeping messaging straightforward and priorities clear. -Teams: Recognizing that everyone is part of something greater than themselves. In this video, you will learn: --Why "symptoms" of performance issues are often actually "distrust". -The importance of being authentic and vulnerable to build authority. -What Ken learned about support when starting a business. __________ RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: 👉The Independent Consultant’s Blueprint: A Guide to Confidence and Successful Business: https://lauras-consulting-guide.kit.com/independent-consultant 👉What’s Trust Got To Do With It?/Book: Available on Amazon 👉Trust Success Model/eBook: Request a copy by sending Ken an email 👉Ken’s Contact information: Email: [email protected] Website: Shercoaching.com; kensher.com LinkedIn: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kensher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@shercoaching4295 __________ OTHER RESOURCES 👉 Free Consulting Resources: https://www.laurasconsultingguide.com/pages/consultantresources Consultant Assessment: Consultant’s Blueprint: https://youtu.be/M46LYIOsJ-Y Consulting Mastery: Business Core: __________ INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ABOUT MASTERING CONSULTING? 👉 Link to Calendar: https://bit.ly/46VBUMS __________ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction and Why Trust Matters 02:30 The Impact of Distrust 05:10 Trust as the Foundation 06:00 The TRUST Model Explained 10:00 Leadership and Communication 12:00 Career Transition Lessons 15:30 Starting a Business Reality 20:00 Building Relationships That Last 22:30 Trust in Organizations 27:00 Key Takeaways and Closing Thoughts __________ SOCIAL: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lauraburford Medium: https://lauradburford.medium.com/ __________ YOUTUBE: Video: https://youtu.be/qgpvKOlQDv8 __________ VIDEO HASHTAGS: #consulting #trust #lauraburford Thank you for taking the time to listen this video – check out other consulting videos on this channel.
