Better Relationships with Jamie Church
Relationships are the foundation of everything we do. Whether you’re growing a business, supporting a team, or navigating day-to-day operations, one thing holds it all together: the relationships. They build trust, open doors, and shape how we work together, especially in the moments that matter most.
As VP of Account Management, Jamie Church makes a difference in many people’s lives every day. Over the years, she’s developed a set of core habits that guide how she builds and maintains strong, meaningful connections.
These aren’t tricks or formulas. Just thoughtful, consistent ways to foster real relationships that last.
Be Consistent in How You Show Up
It’s not just the big moments that shape a relationship. It’s the in-between ones. The quick replies. The steady tone. The follow-through when no one’s watching. Consistency builds trust because it shows you're reliable, not just when things are urgent, but always. The connection deepens when people know they can count on you, even in the small moments.
Lead with Solutions
When something goes sideways, it’s easy to get stuck in what went wrong. But Jamie starts with: What can we do now? That shift makes all the difference. It’s not about having every answer on the spot. It’s about being present, listening closely, and finding a path forward together. Even small solutions can bring clarity and ease. In the end, it’s not just about fixing the problem. It’s about making sure the other person feels supported and that you did what you set out to do in the first place.
Handle Conflict Gracefully
Jamie doesn’t expect things to go perfectly, but she believes in showing up with care when they don’t. When something feels off, she doesn’t avoid it. She names it calmly, listens fully, and focuses on resolution. It’s not about being right. It’s about protecting the relationship. That kind of presence under pressure builds absolute trust.
Be Honest
Jamie leads with honesty because trust depends on it. She’s upfront, even when it’s uncomfortable. Whether setting expectations, offering feedback, or owning a misstep, she knows people value clarity. Being honest doesn’t mean being harsh. It means being real, so the other person always knows where they stand.
Personalize Your Interactions
Life happens between shipments, and Jamie keeps that front of mind. She knows there’s more to people than what’s in their inbox. A quick follow-up on something personal or a little space when needed goes a long way. It’s not about grand gestures. It’s about noticing the human moments and showing you care.
Be Authentic
You don’t need a script to build strong relationships. You just need to be real. Authenticity creates space for honest conversations, productive feedback, and meaningful progress. It also makes it easier for others to trust that they can bring their whole selves into the relationship.
And if you’re wondering where to start, just look at how Jamie moves through her day. The strongest relationships aren’t built in one big moment. They’re built through consistent, honest actions that show people they matter.
It All Comes Back to How You Show Up
Jamie’s not perfect, and that’s not the point. What makes her stand out is how intentionally she shows up, especially in the moments that might seem small but matter most. Every relationship is different, but the habits are the same. Show up. Listen well. Speak honestly. Lead with care. When you do that consistently, people trust you. And when people trust you, genuine partnerships can grow.
