Trust is one of the cornerstones in successful alliances and partnerships. We build trust in many ways, for instance, we observe people’s behaviour and unconsciously it helps us to answer the question “Can I trust this person?” Similarly, we keep an unconscious eye on things like how one performs actions, lives up to commitments, and we assess if body language tells us the same as a person’s verbal language.
