Build Trust Fast: How To Win Buy-In in the First 5 Minutes

Justin Bateh, PhD

Want to build trust fast? Be first to the table.

Show Up Early – The First Mover Advantage

Big promises scare people. Small promises build trust faster than anything else.

Make a Micro-Promise – Then Deliver

Trust grows faster when people see your human side.

Reveal Your Why – The Vulnerability Play

Share Quick Wins – The Success Loop

The fastest way to break trust is to be inconsistent. The fastest way to build it is to be predictable.

Stay Predictable – The Trust Anchor

Lead Without Authority and Influence Stakeholders

Set the tone fast: build trust with a strong opening statement and confident presence.

Establish Credibility and Authority Early

Spot key influencers. Align their needs with project goals. Build bridges, not walls.

Navigate Stakeholder Dynamics Effectively

Craft clear, focused messages. Less noise, more action. Make your point matter.

Influence Outcomes Through Strategic Communication

Handling Project Conflict with the CLEAR Framework

Don’t ease into it. Don’t sugarcoat. Don’t add 4 paragraphs of context.

C – Cut the Fluff

You’re not attacking someone’s character—you’re naming what happened.

L – Label the Behavior, Not the Person

Why does this matter? People are more likely to change when they understand the consequences.

E – Explain the Impact

Most of the time, people will explain themselves—and often, take ownership—if you give them room.

A – Ask for Alignment

The point is to close the loop. Don’t leave it vague. End with clarity.

R – Recommit or Redirect
