Developing rapport is essential to cultivating healthy and harmonious relationships with those you work with and those in your personal life. Rapport is about understanding and respecting the feelings of others and in doing so, strengthening your ability to work together.
Developing rapport requires you to establish trust. To do that you need to be able to offer support, communicate effectively, and follow through with what you say. The number one way to break trust is to make promises you can’t or don’t keep. When you can’t keep a commitment, make sure to alert people affected by it as soon as you know. Life gets in the way sometimes. People will understand that a lot better when they are notified in advance of you breaking your agreement.
Book Excerpt
Ignite Culture
Develop rapport. Defined simply as a close, harmonious relationship between two or more people, rapport is critical in both our personal and professional lives. It’s about creating deep, authentic relationships where people work to understand and respect the feelings and values of others. As world-renown motivational speaker Tony Robbins describes it, “building rapport helps to achieve mutual trust and understanding. . . . It leads to deep listening, meaningful conversations, and fulfilling relationships where everyone involved benefits. . . . When it comes to understanding how to build rapport for communication purposes, your first step is taking inventory of your personality. By getting in touch with your communication and leadership style, you’re able to connect with your truest self, which is the cornerstone of building rapport.” Like everything else we’ve covered in this book, the work always begins with ourselves before it expands to others.
