Before people accept your ideas, follow your recommendations, or take action, they make a more fundamental decision: Do I trust you?

In this interactive session, Dr. Dennis Cummins explores the behaviors and communication signals that build—or undermine—trust in presentations, conversations, and professional relationships.

Participants will learn how to recognize and intentionally use trust triggers that strengthen credibility, deepen connection, and increase influence. Whether you are speaking from a stage, leading a team, working with clients, or selling an idea, you’ll leave with practical ways to make people more willing to listen, engage, and act.
