What If You Could See Customer Trust Drop in Real Time?


It’s invisible... until it isn’t.

Hi Reader

What if you could see trust slipping away while an experience was still happening... and do something about it before it was too late?

Tim McCleary says you can.

“We can now actually use science to...show the impact... we can measure [trust] during an experience that we're delivering, and if we see trust is waning, we can change in real time to bring it back up again.”

In this episode of CX Passport, Tim shares how trust isn’t just a soft concept. It’s a metric. A measurable, trackable, real-time signal that shows whether your experience is building connection... or eroding it.

Tim draws a direct line from trust to productivity. When people trust...

they perform better. They collaborate more. They get more done.

“High trust cultures are 50 percent more productive than low trust cultures.”

That’s why measuring trust in real time matters. It’s not just about sentiment. It’s about operational health.


It’s about tangible, actual, business results

Tim’s approach brings together science, psychology, and frontline experience. Instead of relying only on lagging indicators like surveys or reviews, he uses trust as a leading signal... something you can track and respond to while it still counts.

Because once trust is gone, it’s not just the relationship that breaks...
Performance does too.

Your Turn:

If you could measure trust in real time across your customer or employee experience... what would you do differently?

Put those tray tables up and buckle those seat belts. Let’s go!

There's more than customer happiness Hi there We talk about “value” a lot in CX... but rarely do we define whose value we mean. Michel Stevens offers a framework that cuts through the noise. “There are three forces, and they need to be in balance. It's about creating value... creating value for your customer, creating value for your organization and creating value for your brand.” Most of us are pretty good at that first one. Creating customer value is table stakes in CX. And if you’ve been...

CX doesn’t beg for a seat at the table... it earns it Hi there We talk a lot in customer experience about wanting “a seat at the table.” But Kate Guenther didn’t wait around for an invitation. She brought results. “I've seen us reduce fraud, deliver product insights, boost conversion. I mean, those three alone get you a seat at the table in the room.” In this episode of CX Passport, Kate shows what it looks like when CX leaders speak the language of the business. Not NPS. But revenue, risk,...

Don't Waste The Map Hi Reader It’s easy to fall in love with the artifacts of customer experience. The journey maps. The personas. The beautiful decks. But if those don’t lead to action? They’re just decoration. “The worst thing anyone can do is show up out of nowhere and say, here's a journey map. What are we going to do about it?” In this episode of CX Passport, Dave Seaton reminds us that customer experience work isn’t about insights... it’s about outcomes. And for those outcomes to...
