Understanding the CIC Framework

A structured approach to examine character, integrity, and credibility shaping your life and leadership

Character, Integrity, Credibility: The Foundation of Trust


The CIC framework centers on three interconnected principles: character, integrity, and credibility. Character reflects the core values and beliefs that shape choices beneath the surface. Integrity is the alignment between those values and actions, ensuring consistency even under pressure.
Credibility emerges when character and integrity combine, forming a reliable foundation for leadership and relationships. This framework helps individuals identify where misalignment occurs, enabling deliberate adjustments that rebuild trust and strengthen personal and professional influence.
