Building Rapport – Part 1
Defining rapport can be somewhat elusive, but most people have an experience of really connecting with another person. You just feel in sync with them. Maybe you finish each other sentences or know what they are going to do or say just before or as they are doing it. You can talk and carry on a conversation for hours and the time just flies past. Most people have experienced this at one time or another, but few people are able to generate rapport with everyone, on demand, whenever they want.
What is it that generates this kind of rapport between two people and do you have any choice of it being present, or is it just fated that some people will have rapport with one another and others won't?
