Bob Whipple is one of the clearest thinkers I have come across in the trust profession. I have read over a dozen books on trust over the last year and suggest this book to anyone interested in this important subject. Any time I "dog ear" several quotes and learn something new- my reading time was well spent. Whipple has a unique take on what it takes to be trusted in a relationship- his concept of "reinforcing candor" is something that we should all embrace. A clear and an important read...

Not so very often, you come upon a faculty member that not only emanates a passion for teaching, but also a love for the students he or she touches. One such person I have befriended along my journey is Bob Whipple. This instructor taught me the most important lesson of all, and that is the importance of humanity. Bob taught me that reaching out to another person and touching a life in such a profound way as to forget your own self and the needs you might have in the moment, is the purpose of being. It was the golden rule on steroids...BE fully present to life. Bob has been the most selfless person I have ever crossed paths with, and one I hope to continue to collaborate with in the years ahead.
