Have you ever met someone and instantly connected, while other conversations felt forced and awkward? What makes some people naturally likable and great at building relationships? The answer lies in rapport—that invisible bridge that turns small talk into meaningful conversation.

In this episode, we break down the essential skills you need to build rapport effortlessly:

✅ First impressions that set the right tone
✅ The power of active listening and making people feel heard
✅ Finding common ground to create instant connections
✅ Using humor wisely to break the ice
✅ Small gestures that make a big difference

Plus, we’ll dive into key vocabulary in context, discussion questions to reflect on, and a writing prompt to put your skills into practice.
