Whatever role people have within an organisation, there is a high probability that the people with whom they have the best working relationships, are those with whom they feel they have the greatest rapport. This activity allows participants to identify what creates rapport between people and the steps they can take to build stronger relationships.

You introduce the session and ask participants to discuss what rapport is and the barriers to creating rapport. After discussion, you introduce a process for creating rapport: the 'ask, listen, give and get' principle. Participants then plan how to create better rapport with a work colleague, manager, supplier or customer.

Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to encourage participants to create positive rapport.
