Mike explains why consumers’ trust in brands is at an all time low. And how that impacts on the trust of companies and indeed of capitalism itself.
He then shares a solution - true purpose – and explains its “triple win” for business owners, their staff and society in general.
Mike provides viewers with a simple yet potent system for achieving enduring growth and success when business owners place their authentic motives at the core of everything they do.
This “Circle of True Purpose” is at once a map and a compass, guiding business owners towards a higher ideal, while at the same time attracting and retaining more customers. It is a pattern of human behaviour that can be learned and applied to any business, social enterprise or charity.
Extract: Why Don’t Consumers Trust Brands Anymore?
