Trust Reponse Teams

Had our first meeting to kick off entente's first Trust Response Team in Sydney. We're formulating exactly how these teams will work so we can then get more of you involved, but it's a great way to give something back by helping others understand why their trust was broken, and what to do to restore trust in themselves... and in those around them. So excited about this one!

Australia's first female Prime Minister

My thoughts on Australia's first Female Prime Minister and what happened to Kevin Rudd: I think Kevin Rudd has a few too many broken promises that left everyone wondering if they could trust him any more. He was not meeting basic needs for safety and also esteem as he yelled, ranted and raved at his party, his staff, a...nd anyone else who was around when he lost his temper (appears that was happening a bit of late), and loads of unmet expectations. Julia Gillard, on the other hand, was careful what she promised (although she did make a big one about being out of debt by 2013), and she managed expectations by clearly saying there will be times when we love her, and there will be times when she disappoints us. So far, so good. I think it's about time we had a shot at a woman at the top. Fingers crossed she'll maintain the qualities of a trustworthy person, continue to manage expectations, meet needs and keep her promises. I think she can do it.
