ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Dr. Dennis and Dr. Michelle Reina have devoted almost two decades of their professional lives to developing a comprehensive Trust Building® approach that helps people renew confidence, commitment, and energy in their relationships, transform cultures, and produce business results. Together and independently, they are sought-after consultants, keynote speakers, and executive coaches. Their strength lies in their proven ability to combine a rigorous, research-based foundation with a compassionate approach that recognizes the human aspect of trust. Their business-best selling first book, Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace won the 2007 Nautilus Book Award and the 2008 Axiom Book Award.
As co-founders of The Reina Trust Building Institute, Dennis and Michelle are thought leaders in measuring, developing, and restoring trust. The Reina Trust Building Institute offers the most comprehensive, integrated solutions to make building and rebuilding trust possible, practical and cost-effective for organizations of all kinds and of all sizes. Equally effective with Fortune 100® executives, government officials and manufacturing shift workers, Michelle, Dennis and their team customize Trust Building® solutions for individuals, small teams and expansive organizations with thousands of employees.
Dennis and Michelle each hold doctorates in human and organizational systems from Fielding Graduate University, where they met and fell in love on the dance floor. They relish their time together, hiking, canoeing, skiing, picnicking in their home state of Vermont, swimming in the Caribbean, and always dancing. Having taken their own journeys to heal from personal betrayals and significant life challenges, Michelle and Dennis feel profoundly blessed to be able to transform their own difficult experiences into daily work that helps others heal and rebuild trust. They see the people they serve as their best teachers, for their clients’ experiences and courage inform their research and inspire their growth as coaches, scholarly practitioners, and writers.
