Talk with Trust

How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams

Unlock the power of feedback without fear.

Feedback doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, vague, or avoided altogether.

In Talk with Trust, Kerry Siggins—CEO, leadership expert, and builder of high-performing teams—offers a clear, actionable framework for giving and receiving feedback in ways that build people up instead of breaking them down. 

Whether you’re a seasoned executive, a first-time manager, or simply someone who wants to communicate more effectively, this book will transform the way you think about feedback.

At the heart of the book is the SHARES model: a practical, six-step approach to delivering feedback that is direct, kind, and truly impactful. You’ll learn how to prepare for hard conversations, foster psychological safety, and turn feedback into an opportunity for real growth without falling into resentment.

Drawing on decades of leadership experience and rich firsthand stories from inside her own company, Siggins shows how feedback, when delivered with clarity and care, becomes a powerful driver of performance, trust, and transformation. You’ll walk away with the tools to create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement—at work, at home, and everywhere you lead.

Stop dreading feedback. Start giving it with confidence—and watch your teams thrive.

“Talk with Trust is about building the kind of trust that actually scales—the kind that expands capacity, improves decision making, and sustains performance over the long term. This is not theory. It’s a practical framework for leaders who understand that how they communicate sets the ceiling on how far their organization can go. Trust is not a nice-to-have. It’s a growth lever.”

—Robert Glazer, #1 Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of Elevate, Friday Forward, and The Compass Within

“Talk with Trust is a powerful guide for leaders who want to communicate with clarity, courage, and conviction—developing real trust that drives performance and resilience. Kerry Siggins shows how honest communication creates cultures where people show up fully and results follow. A must-read for undaunted leaders who mean it.”

—Kara Goldin, founder of Hint Inc.; author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Undaunted; and host of The Kara Goldin Show

“In Talk with Trust, Kerry Siggins brilliantly shows that great leadership begins with great questions. Her focus on curiosity, growth mindset, and empathy transforms feedback from something we fear into something we trust. This book is a master class in how to have the conversations that actually move people forward.”

—Chris Schembra, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Gratitude Through Hard Times

“Kerry Siggins has written a book that every leader who genuinely cares about their people should read. Talk With Trust isn’t another management manual—it’s a practical, human guide to creating workplaces where trust, growth, and belonging become everyday habits. This book is essential for creating a culture where people feel safe, supported, and motivated to excel.  

—Garry Ridge, chairman emeritus, WD-40 Company, and bestselling author of Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It

“In Talk with Trust, Kerry Siggins reminds us that feedback is not a managerial technique but a moral responsibility we hold to one another’s growth. The SHARES framework is clear, practical, and accessible, but what truly distinguishes this book is the stance beneath it: courage paired with care, clarity anchored in respect, and accountability without control. This book helps leaders deliver honest feedback without losing their humanity—or the people they lead—in the process.”

—Ron Carucci, managing partner, Navalent, and bestselling and award-winning author of Rising to Power and To Be Honest
