geMatrix - TrustedLoop
Building, Predicting, Sharing Trust
Tom Snyder
Professional Development and Solutions Consultant
The name geMatrix was coined while helping my child with a homework assignment. While building a matrix of the correlations between math with ancient architecture, the word "gematria", or the study of sacred numbers, appeared to us. What amazed and still inspires me is how this child could see simple ways to solve this somewhat complex homework.
Complexity is increasing as are the challenges for people, professionals, communities, teams, organizations, governments, schools and companies around the globe.
Our goal at geMatrix is to transform these challenges by providing solutions that our business partners can trust, and by building and sharing this attitude of trust, we hope to simply make a positive difference.
Trust is consistent, positive behavior over time.

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.
– Alan AldaRespect - one of the behaviors of trust!
My friend Parker Grant taught me a few years ago that it’s good for others to have an approach that is different than mine. The world is made up of many rights, he always reminds me.
By learning to respect another approach as much as I respect my own, I’ve learned to become a better architect, a better instructor, a better dad and a better friend.
Respect allows me to then better trust my own intuition, decisions and solutions and in turn allows me to be trusting and trustworthy.
I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she’ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely. #IN
– Kim BasingerCan Trust be Predicted?
| I truly believe it can. Where does it start? |
| I think it starts with knowing one's intuition. Now, this topic itself wll lead me to many more conversations through time. For now, I'll leave logic on the sidelines today and bring up the two intuition feelings that I am aware of. One is what I call 'the brakes' and the other I call 'the tingle.' |
| The brakes are what I've heard others refer to as their gut check. That certain feeling that causes me to put on the brakes as far as something to do. Examples have been to take a job or an assignment, to make a certain investment, to move forward in a relationship and even buy a house. This feeling is a bit different than the nervous stomach feeling. I've learned to distinguish between those two. |
| The tingle is what I've heard others refer to as their heart. For me, it's that certain peaceful, calming sense of enthusiasm. I've learned to distinguish this feeling from an adrenaline rush, which I usually use the word exciting for. |
| Once I learned these two feelings of my intuition, now it's a matter of knowing them more and learning to trust them. Over time, my thoughts, my decisions and my actions are in line with my intuition and a consistent and positive behavior can be expected and achieved. |
| So, thank you Bill Martin for teaching me that trust is consistent and positive behavior over time. For now, I can predict my own trust as the starting point for building and sharing trust. And in time, I hope to share a formula for predicting trust in others. |
