What if I told you there is one question you can ask that can make people trust you, instantly.

It's not too good to be true.

It works.

I've spent years working on TV as a journalist, interviewing executives, politicians, and powerful people,

and I have figured out why some people can build trust with others quickly while others shatter it instantly.

In fact, there's a chapter in my book, Smart Not Loud, titled Building Credibility,

and I share the exact frameworks of how you can build trust with people,

because what I have discovered is that building trust doesn't happen by chance or because someone likes you.

Trust is strategically built into our conversations and how you engage with people.

It's not inauthentic.

It's not pretending to be someone you're not.

That never works.

It's communicating in a way that shines a clear light on why people should hear you,

why they should pay attention to you and what you have to say.

In fact, if you sometimes feel

like you're an outsider this fish out of water unsure why it's hard to influence people

and get them to listen to you this video this topic of building trust is something that's gonna change

I care so deeply about this because so many times I have watched brilliant, talented, hardworking people get passed over,

get underestimated, not because they weren't good enough, but because people didn't believe them.

I guarantee after you learn the golden question, people will start to hear you and they're going to want to keep listening to you.

So here's the first question that instantly helps you build trust Ask.

"Can I make sure I understand what you're saying?" So simple, right?

I'm going to say it again so you can really feel the weight of this.

Ask the question.

Can I make sure I understand what you're saying?

But it doesn't end there.

After you ask this question, you repeat what you heard in your own words.

And here's why this is so effective.

99 % of people don't do this.

And it completely catches the other person off in the best way because they feel acknowledged.

They feel seen and appreciated.

And what does that do?

They like you and they trust you.

Now, if you're like me, you might wonder, well, this is so effective.

Why don't more people do it?

because most people

when someone is talking to them they are already formulating their

response in their own mind they're thinking about what they want to say they're reframing defending

and problem solving in real time meaning they're not actually listening to the essence of what the other person is saying Now,

I'll be honest with you.

Early on in my career, I was terrible at this myself.

I remember being in an editorial meeting as a journalist and whenever someone would push back on my idea,

I would immediately jump to defend it because I thought that's what confidence looked like.

You push back, you hold your ground, right?

But what I noticed over time, was that the people in the room who had the most influence who everyone trusted, They did something differently.

They paused.

And they asked, Can I make sure I understand what you're saying?

And then they briefly restated what they heard And they invited others into the conversation.

In fact, research backs this up.

A study out of Harvard Business School found

that people who ask reflective questions and mirror back what they've heard are rated higher in trustworthiness and competence by their partners,

not because they agreed, but because the other person felt understood.

In psychology, When someone feels heard, their nervous system actually settles and their brain stops defending.

And in that more open state, Trust becomes possible so the next time someone you're trying to build trust with speaks respond with

Let me make sure I understand what you're saying.

reflect it back to them.

And watch what happens to the energy of the room.

Because this one golden question is the power move that can get people to trust you

instantly but not just that the trickle effect is

that you are now seen as someone incredibly likable furthering your influence because now you know how to engage others

Because we're on this topic of building trust, I actually want to share two more powerful questions you can ask to build trust at work.

Here's the second one.

Ask a question that shows your thinking about other people and their needs.

This one is especially powerful in high stakes moments.

When you want to pitch an idea, when you want someone's buy -in, when you need a decision maker to trust your recommendation, the question you would ask is,

Well, how can I make your job easier?

Let me tell you a story.

A few years back when I first started my communications training company,

Soulcast Media, I was preparing to facilitate this large corporate workshop and I had spent weeks on my research.

My data was airtight.

My slides were beautiful and polished and I walked in feeling like this workshop was going to be so amazing.

Well, guess what?

It didn't land.

The room wasn't really engaged.

The questions were like kind of skeptical and I left feeling kind of confused.

A few days later, a mentor of mine, after I was kind of debriefing her on what happened, she asked me a question that I would never forget.

And she said, hey, Jess, before you walked into that workshop, I.

Did you know what they actually needed from you?

Did you present information that could actually make their job easier?

Wow.

The entire time, I was so focused on what I wanted to say, teaching the tips I knew,

that I never asked, What do they really need to hear?

I get why this is such a common trap and why we might miss this.

We often prepare around our own agenda instead of what other people need from us.

And the problem is this can feel one -sided and sometimes even transactional.

And I will tell you that doesn't really build trust.

So how do you use this question to actually build trust at work?

Well, there's actually two ways you can do it.

Number one.

ask it explicitly.

Like you're talking to your client, your boss, and you can actually say, How can I make your job easier?

or you can use it the second way, which is to answer that question yourself as you're preparing for your next meeting.

Right before you walk into a presentation, you ask yourself, "Okay, how can I make people's job easier in this meeting?"

There's so much research to actually back this up.

It's called.

perspective taking.

Studies in organizational psychology show that people who demonstrate Genuine interest in the other person's goals,

not just their own, are rated as more trustworthy.

more collaborative, and more effective.

100

Researchers also found that people are more open to persuasion when they believe the other person has already considered their perspective.

101

So really asking.

102

"How can I make your job easier?" is one of the simplest

103

most direct ways to get people to trust you in any situation.

104

And here's a third question.

105

And this is one of the most effective ways to build trust.

106

Ask a question that invites honesty.

107

A question might sound like this.

108

Is there anything that I might be missing?

109

Here's why most people don't use this and why they struggle to build trust.

110

Most of us, especially in a professional setting, We're trained to project certainty.

111

We have to look like we have the answers.

112

We walk in confident and we walk out decisive.

113

And yes, confidence matters.

114

But there's a version of confidence that can actually destroy trust.

115

And it's a version where we cannot admit that we don't have the answer.

116

And it's like we have to fake it until we make it, which, by the way, It doesn't work because people can see through it.

117

You know, I remember I once interviewed an executive on my leadership podcast called Leading by Example, and this person runs a multi -billion dollar organization.

118

And I asked her, what was one thing that she wishes she learned earlier on as a leader?

119

And she said, I wish I had learned to ask better questions, especially the uncomfortable ones.

120

the ones that give people permission to be honest with me.

121

Yeah that reinforced everything for me because that's how you build trust with people you ask better questions and this one

122

is there anything i'm missing here is one of the best ways to get people to open up to you.

123

And here's the thing.

124

When you ask someone to be honest with you, not just fake honest, you're doing something most people never do.

125

you're making it safe for them you're showing the human side of yourself and i'm gonna tell you right now

126

People connect to people, not the bravado we feel like we need to showcase and that we have all the answers because.

127

Being honest is how you build trust.

128

By the way, amy edmonston is a researcher at harvard business school

129

and she has studied why certain teens perform better than others

130

and it's all about making people feel safe and that safety starts with someone being willing to model vulnerability first.

131

I'm not saying you tell people, oh, I feel scared, I feel nervous.

132

It's more...

133

Is there anything that I might be missing?

134

Is there anything else on your mind?

135

Questions like that signals honesty and it signals openness.

136

So let's bring this all together.

137

Three questions.

138

Three ways to build trust.

139

Number one, can I make sure I understand what you're saying?

140

Because people trust the people who make them feel heard.

141

Number two, How can I make your job easier?

142

Because people trust the people who show up thinking about them.

143

Number three, Is there anything I might be missing?

144

because people trust the people who are brave enough to invite honesty

145

And here's what I want you to notice about all three of these questions.

146

None of them are about being loud, impressive, aggressive, or even extroverted.

147

None of them are about saying the smartest thing.

148

They're really about making the other person feel safe.

149

And that is a center of building trust it's safety

150

and it's feeling like you care it's not just a leadership

151

trait this is actually how you can get noticed for all the right reasons If this video was helpful,

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
