Building Instant Rapport is a Skills Challenge available on WATCH & GO® — Tell me more…
Making genuine connections – fast
We all know first impressions count. However, building rapport isn’t just about being friendly – it’s about creating trust, warmth and understanding. When this happens, collaboration becomes easier and conversations flow more naturally. Fortunately, it’s a skill anyone can learn with a bit of practice. It comes down to being curious, empathetic and adaptable: noticing others’ cues – such as tone, pace and energy – and matching them respectfully in any situation, from everyday conversations to high-stakes meetings.Explore other resources about:
