Building Rapport in Conversations

Description

Rapport is the sense that a conversation is going well, and it can be learned. These ten PDF lessons begin by defining rapport and showing how first impressions and body language shape it.

You then read about active listening, finding common ground, asking questions that keep a conversation going, and mirroring. Further lessons cover building trust through honest communication and coping with social anxiety. The last lessons offer practical exercises for everyday interactions and ways to keep in touch afterwards. Exercises appear in most lessons, so you can try each skill in ordinary conversations.

Who it is for: adults who want to connect more easily with colleagues, new acquaintances and clients.
