The podcast delves into the nuances of rapport building beyond the surface level and uncovers its significance in the business world. The hosts, Kylie and Mel, discuss how rapport is more profound than the shared interests between parties, providing definitions that align with feelings of trust, openness, safety, perception of likeness, and friendly feedback. Apart from one-on-one connections, rapport also extends to a collective audience or multiple groups of individuals. They highlight how rapport influences leadership, making it easier for leaders to connect, influence, and inspire their teams. The discussion also entails the powerful role of body language and voice tonality in rapport-building, citing research evidence that interrelates communication and rapport to body language and tone rather than just words.Listen to today’s episode to understand how to implement these concepts to help you form more diverse connections and stronger relationships.Follow Kylie Linkedin Follow Mel Linkedin Follow SHIFT unlimitedInstagram01:16 Introduction to Rapport Building01:25 Defining Rapport and its Importance03:15 Rapport in Business and Leadership04:48 The Role of Connection in Rapport Building05:45 Rapport Building in Diverse Teams07:08 The Unconscious Level of Rapport08:06 Research Findings on Rapport and Communication10:14 Building Rapport Using Body Language13:23 Building Rapport Using Voice Tonality16:29 The Role of Words in Rapport Building17:52 Conclusion: The Power of Rapport BuildingPlease find all images mentioned in this episode available HERE
