Find things in common with everyone you work with.
A Harvard University study used MRI scanning to track brain activity during conversations.
When a person sensed they were talking with someone with similar interests and beliefs, their ventromedial prefrontal cortex lit up.
In short, we get happier when we’re with people that we think are like us.
So if you’re meeting a new client or colleague, find out a bit about them before. Ask them some questions when you meet them.
See what common interests you share and be sure to talk about these.
Your rapport levels will soar.
