Loyalty is Returned, but You Play a Role
By Laura Jozwiak
The core of our most successful and rewarding relationships must be a foundation of trust. You don’t walk into a new relationship with trust.
Trust takes time to develop, and if you are not careful, it could be diminished or destroyed in seconds.
Open and transparent communication is foundational in a trusted relationship. The news may not always be positive, but trust grows when people know you will tell them what they need to know, not just what they want to hear.
Trust is about consistency. It is a reminder that every moment matters. Every interaction provides another opportunity to build your brand of being trustworthy. And when you wear that badge of honor, loyalty is returned.

Another Study Relates Taller Vehicle Front Ends to More Pedestrian Deaths
New study results from Justin Tyndall at the University of Hawai'i's Economic Research Organization, examined how high the front end of a vehicle needs to be to begin to show an outsized effect on pedestrian deaths.
Translating the study starts with knowing that almost 7,400 pedestrians died after being struck by vehicles in 2021; in 2005, that number was 3,813 pedestrians.
Tyndall says that a four-inch rise in the height of a vehicle's front fascia results in a 22% rise in the risk of pedestrian death. If regulators capped front fascia height at 49.2 inches, the numbers point to 509 lives being saved every year in the U.S., nearly 7% of 2021's death figure.
