What You Think Builds Trust... Doesn't Anymore
Every lawyer and service professional has a theory about what creates trust with clients. Most of those theories sound reasonable—some even feel noble. But when you compare them to what clients actually experience, a surprising gap emerges. The things we assume matter most often don’t matter at all.
What if your expertise isn’t the differentiator you think it is? What if flawless execution doesn’t make clients feel less anxious? What if clear communication still leaves them uneasy or uncertain? These aren’t trick questions. They’re the hidden truths behind modern client relationships.
This program invites you to rethink the foundations of trust by examining five widely held myths professionals rarely challenge.
Myth 1: “Clients hire us for our expertise.”
If expertise were enough, every brilliant lawyer or service provider would be a trusted advisor—but clients choose differently.
Myth 2: “Trust comes from avoiding mistakes.”
Chasing perfection blinds you to the moments where trust is actually won… and lost.
Myth 3: “Clients trust us because we communicate clearly.”
You can be crystal clear and still leave clients stressed, guessing, or in the dark.
Myth 4: “When more work creates more cost, clients understand.”
Clients don’t feel your effort; they feel the invoice. Assumptions here damage trust faster than errors.
Myth 5: “Our job is to solve the legal/technical issue.”
Solving the problem is table stakes; the real differentiator is something most lawyers never name out loud.
