Thrive on trust
Relationships have changed a lot in recent times. Companies from all sectors have had to adapt to the new market, changing the way they operate and using technology as a strong ally to carry out activities more quickly.
As a result, developing trust has become an essential factor for both companies and society in general.
That's why we created the tool that measures and develops trust as a behavioral skill.
No magic formula, methods based on studies
Trust is created by interacting with others in a conscious way, adapting our behavior to our objectives
Relationships have changed a lot in recent times. Companies from all sectors have had to adapt to the new market, changing the way they operate and using technology as a strong ally to carry out activities more quickly.
As a result, developing trust has become an essential factor for both companies and society in general.
Trust is a dynamic element that permeates all our interactions, from the most personal to the most professional. In order to fully understand its complexity and improve our relationships, it is essential to uncover the three levels at which it manifests itself. As the Startrust model details, these levels are interdependent and act as pillars that support the quality of our bonds,
Self-confidence
It is the foundation of all other forms of confidence. Self-confidence represents the unshakeable belief in our own ability to succeed and make decisions, regardless of external circumstances or opinions. It drives us to act with courage and determination.
Trust given
It's our willingness to believe in the other person, to offer them the chance to meet expectations and achieve the desired results, a behavioral competence that is not limited to technical skills, but is intrinsically related to the characteristics of the relationship established. Trusting others is an act of vulnerability and recognition of their ability.
Trust received
Received trust is the perception that others believe in us, that they give us the opportunity to meet expectations and achieve the expected goals. Like trust given, it is anchored in the qualities of the relationship, transcending mere technical skills. Feeling trusted by others reinforces our own conviction and encourages us to go further.
Trust does not operate or build in a vacuum; it manifests itself and develops in different ways depending on the context in which we live. The Startrust model identifies various environments where this dynamic is assessed, allowing for a more granular understanding of how trust influences and is influenced by the various spheres of our lives. Trust transcends the boundaries of corporate and professional environments to permeate the very fabric of human existence. The Startrust model offers a robust framework for both business and personal environments. The truth is that trust is an omnipresent element, shaping relationships across a much broader spectrum.
From the most trivial interaction to the most impactful decisions, trust acts as a catalyst or a blocker, influencing our choices, our actions and the quality of our lives: trust guides our choices, our actions and our lives.
Recognizing this diversity of contexts where trust manifests itself is essential to developing effective strategies that promote healthy and productive relationships in all aspects of social and professional life. Let's take a look at some of these crucial environments:
General environments
- Personal Relationships
- Professional Relations in General
- Company or organization
Specific environments
These precise environments make it possible to analyze the degree of trust in relationships between people or groups of people within a given environment:
- Hierarchy
- Team
- Colegs and pairs
- Customers, suppliers, other services
- Administration
- Teachers, students
- Patient, doctor
- etc.
Startrust's flexibility allows it to be adapted to any environment where measuring reliability is useful!
The Dimensions of Trust: Behavioral Levers for Personal and Professional Success
At the heart of the Startrust model lies a transformative truth: trust is not an innate gift or a fluke of fate, but a competence that can be improved, a direct result of the behaviors we choose to demonstrate in different situations. This insight is an invitation to action, since the nine dimensions of trust act as behavioral levers which, when consciously managed, become powerful tools for achieving our goals.
Confidence is a skill that can be improved. It is a component and a consequence of the behaviors demonstrated during certain situations or circumstances.
Monitoring: The first step
Monitoring the dimensions of trust means developing acute self-awareness and keen observation of the environment. It's not just a question of "having faith" or "being authentic", but of:
- Identifying the prevalence of each behavior in oneself (self-confidence)
Perceiving these behaviors in others - Analyze the impact of these behaviors on relational dynamics and results
- This monitoring allows us to diagnose the "health" of trust in any context, be it personal, professional or organizational. It's the radar that alerts us to the need to adjust course.
Control: Taking the Direction of Trust
Once we have monitored and identified the behaviors that make up each dimension, the next step is to take control. Controlling the dimensions of trust does not mean manipulating them inauthentically, but rather intentionally choosing the behaviors that align with building trust and achieving goals. This implies:
Actively improve the behaviors that generate trust
Mitigate or transform those who generate mistrust
Practicing calculated vulnerability and openness
Use Strategically: Trust as a Competitive Advantage
The strategic application of the dimensions of trust is the culmination, where these behaviors become real levers for achieving specific objectives.
The action plan resulting from the Startrust feedback traces the way for this powerful tool to act on our behalf in a fully conscious way.

Why was Startrust created?
For years, companies have tried to solve high turnover by looking at only one side of the problem: “Why are people leaving?”. But what if the right question was different? That’s exactly what we, the creators of Voluntus, realized when we acted as consultants.
They realized that the key to retaining talent lay not only in understanding what drove employees away, but above all in discovering what made them want to stay.
When we looked for tools to provide this answer, we came up against a huge void. The market offered only superficial evaluations, incapable of measuring real engagement and affective commitment.
