The Trust Sketchbook is a guided, reflective, journey, through the Landscape of Trust. It’s a half drawn, half complete, book, which provides context, structure, and the blank space for you to capture your own understanding of exactly what trust is, and how it flows through Organisations.
The Guidebook Series
This is a series of concise books, each of which explores different aspects of Organisational design and change. All are under 10,000 words, and include sections on ‘what you need to know’, and ‘what you need to do about it’.
This short Social Learning Guidebook is intended to highlight areas that you should consider when you look at learning transformation. It is not intended to have all the answers, but rather to offer some frameworks and models that you may want to adopt, and include activities that you can do along the way.
The Community Builder Guidebook is an exploration of ‘Communities’, and the key capabilities of Social Leaders and Community Builders. As with other books in this Guidebook series, Julian offers thoughtful exploration of the topic, along with a practical guide of how to do it. The 9 chapters support you to build new communities as well as help existing ones to thrive and grow.
In this Guidebook, Julian Stodd leads the reader through 12 aspects of the ‘Landscape of Trust’, exploring the best ways to understand it, and to share stories as we go. Through this we find out how to lead and to engage with Trust. This is an accompanying Guidebook to Julian’s ‘The Trust Sketchbook’, also available from Sea Salt Publishing.
It took 400,000 people to put two men onto the moon, with over six million parts to go wrong: in this Guidebook, Julian tells 8 stories from the Apollo programme, and considers what lessons we can take for our leadership today, considering complexity, failure, ambition, and humility.

In the Social Age, the separation between formal and social spaces is gone. But what does social mean for learning? It’s an opportunity to engage, and this book will explore ways to do that.
Through research and experience, Julian has created a six-step Learning Methodology. Through each of the six stages, this book explores the key points of what we should and shouldn’t do and asks questions that we can use to shape and structure the learning design.
