Trust Architect
Helping leaders build stronger trust in themselves, with others, and across the organization.
Trust is every leader’s and organization’s biggest competitive advantage
At The Trust Architect Group, we believe that trust is the foundation for all successful relationships and workplace cultures. Whether you're leading a team of employees, working to deliver exceptional customer service, or wanting to be a better parent and friend, you need to be able to give and earn trust.
But here’s the deal: trust is always the result of how we communicate.
Every relationship and team suffers when leaders don’t take responsibility for their leadership presence. When organizations don’t help leaders develop their emotional intelligence, they often produce a transactional culture where leaders put results over people, communicate in unhealthy ways, and sacrifice trust. It’s never worth it.
We create safe spaces for you to think differently about yourself, how you lead and communicate, and how you intentionally build workplace cultures that people believe in.
Our approach is based on years of research and practical experience, and we've helped hundreds of organizations and leaders think differently about how they show up, lead others, and build a culture of trust.

Hi, Y'all. I'm Justin.
When I was a young boy growing up on a farm in Mt. Washington, Kentucky, I always thought I’d be a lawyer. I’m not sure if it was because I loved talking or because I’ve never backed down from an argument. Heck, it might have been my realization that bailing hay and herding cows was not my calling.
Regardless, life had a different plan.
My dad unexpectedly passed away when I was 18. That event changed everything. As a result of not knowing how to deal with the pain, I emotionally disconnected and threw myself into my career. It took 12 years to have my wake-up call and reimagine how I showed up in the world.
I now have the privilege of taking all the lessons learned, all the training and certifications I’ve acquired, all the books I’ve written, and use it to help others reimagine how they show up in the world as well.
