This is the secret sauce to building rapport swiftly and effectively.
Why does this work?
Because humans are social creatures wired to respond positively to those who reflect our behaviors and attitudes, it’s a crucial bridge to empathy and deeper connections.
"Effective communication is not just about the exchange of words but the harmonious dance of mutual understanding and respect." – Mike Brewer Click To TweetWhether in professional settings or personal encounters, this technique is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the most powerful way to connect is to reflect.
