Episode 165 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Alpha Collective’s discord server: discord.gg/alphacollective and Clubhouse’s Startup Club from 8-9am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

Today was all about Reciprocity as a Core Value with references to the EOS Core Value of “Help First” and a suggestion as to how some of the mainstream brands could have handled the Elmo tweet differently.

Some key points and takeaways include:

• Reciprocity is about building genuine relationships through giving and receiving, not transactional interactions. 
• Initiating the reciprocity cycle through small acts of generosity without immediate expectation of return.
• Fostering a culture of reciprocity through consistent fair exchanges to build trust over the long term.
• The importance of empathy, recognition, and empowering others in reciprocal relationships.
• Reciprocity is a virtuous cycle where consistent giving and helping leads to long term benefits for all.
• Leaders should demonstrate reciprocity through their actions to inspire others and move the trust needle.
