We are living in a time where trust is needed now more than ever. And yet, in the headlines, in our businesses, in our governments and institutions, in our personal lives, we often find the opposite. A crisis of trust. At this week’s World Business Forum, FINN Global CMO Celia Jones made the case for trust as THE mission-critical foundation for business success, in her introduction for keynote speaker Stephen M. R. Covey, renowned author and the world’s leading authority on organizational trust. WOBI #WBFNYC #FEARLESSxFINN #trust

Trust isn’t a slogan or a research report. It’s about internal character and tangible action. ➡️ Who you are. ➡️ How you show up personally. ➡️ How you lead others. Grateful to work for Peter Finn at FINN Partners, who models leading with a ‘heart & conscience’ every day, in his work & life. #leadership #leadbyexample #trust #ethicsinbusiness Stephen R.

Stop thinking we can tackle global challenges alone. It’s slowing progress down. Today at #CDM13, I moderated powerful discussions on the transformative power of partnerships in disaster management. One thing was clear: ➔ Collaboration is key to resilience. Here’s what partnerships can do: ➔ Turn challenges into opportunities: By combining strengths, we can create innovative solutions to shared problems. ➔ Build lasting impact: Working together ensures solutions are sustainable and far-reaching. ➔ Foster inclusive growth: Partnerships bring diverse voices and ideas to the table, making progress equitable for all. But here’s the thing: Partnerships don’t just happen. They require: • Mutual trust • A shared vision • A willingness to act together During the panels, we heard incredible stories of regional cooperation in the Caribbean—stories where collaboration saved lives and changed futures. It was a reminder that resilience isn’t a solo effort. The challenge is this: How can we create and strengthen partnerships in our own work and communities? Building a better, stronger future starts with a commitment to work together. What role can you play in building partnerships for resilience?
