The Leadership Skill Nobody Trained You For with Drs. Dennis and Michelle Reina

The Three Dimensions of Trust Explained with Dr. Michelle Reina and Dr. Dennis Reina Most leaders don’t realize trust is leaking from their organization until everything slows down. Decisions take longer. Meetings feel heavier. People stop speaking up. Collaboration quietly collapses. And suddenly, even the best strategy in the world can’t get traction. In this powerful episode of Marc Haine Live, I’m joined by Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina — the Authorities on Trust — to unpack why trust is not a “soft skill,” but a hard business necessity. About Drs. Michelle and Dennis Reina Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina are internationally recognized pioneers in the field of organizational trust, and bestselling authors of the groundbreaking Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace. As co-founders of Reina Trust Building®, they have devoted their lives to understanding, measuring, and strengthening trust in the workplace. More than three decades of research and practice have culminated in a new book, The Art of Trust Building (January, 2026), and its digital companion, The Reina Trust Assessment, a research-backed interactive tool that allows users to identify strengths and opportunities for growth on their trust journey. Dennis and Michelle’s shared passion for trust building emerged from a blend of personal and professional journeys. When Dennis’s first marriage ended after a betrayal, he refocused his doctoral research on trust. It was in graduate school where Dennis and Michelle found each other and discovered a shared passion for understanding trust as the essential foundation for healthy relationships, resilient teams, and high-performing organizations. In 1999, they founded their business, Reina Trust Building®. The Reinas have transformed trust from an abstract concept to a practical framework, highlighting key skills and actions that drive impact. Their research-based Three Dimensions of Trust® and Rebuilding Trust® processes have been adopted by leaders in Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, healthcare systems, and nonprofits around the globe. They’ve helped thousands of leaders navigate the complexities of trust—building it, sustaining it, and repairing it when it breaks.  Connect with the Reinas http://reinatrustbuilding.com/  [email protected] [email protected]   / dennisreina     / michellereina    ----more----About Your Host, Marc Haine Need to brainstorm aspects of your business or talk to Marc about speaking at your upcoming conference or staff retreat?
