Welcome to the Change Energizer Hot Seat Podcast! Host, Scott Carly, the Trust Energizer, drops leaders into the hot seat to reveal the Trust X Factor behind their triumphs.

In this episode, Scott invites Jennifer Ivy from Keystone Bank to experience a tool everyone is asking about: The Trust Credit Score. Jennifer shares two compelling, real-world examples—one high-performer up for promotion and one employee experiencing a "trust crash"—to demonstrate how the five-point scorecard provides a concrete, quantifiable way to:

- Validate a manager's intuition on a candidate or team member.

- Objectively qualify an MVP for promotion or the next level.

- Diagnose and address issues during a "trust crash" or performance gap.

Learn how Jennifer scored her top candidate (8.4 average) based on their meticulous vibe, transparent motives for mastery, immaculate client follow-through, and pursuit of a CTP designation. In stark contrast, she breaks down why the "trust crash" employee scored a 5.0, detailing how a lack of desire, taking "the first available no" with clients, and negative attitude undermined their intelligence and competence.

Jennifer concludes by emphasizing the Trust Credit Score's value as a tool for both front-end hiring and long-term employee development, offering valuable feedback that can be quantified and corrected.
