Start nodding to build trust

It signals attention without cutting in. 
It keeps the other person talking. 
It makes you easier to speak to.

Nodding increases your likeability. It helps people open up and share more. You’ll hear more detail, spot what really matters and build rapport faster.

You can also use short acknowledgements – like “Go on” or a quiet “mm-hmm”. These keep the other person talking without breaking their flow.

So start nodding in your next meeting. See what happens.
