T@T: Match Speed, Not Mach Speed
Some people seem to have the ability to transform strangers in to close friends, almost af if you've known them for years - all within minutes of meeting. This skill is known as rapport building.
A fundamental of building rapport is noticing and matching the speed at which they speak. Some people, like me, speak very quickly. Other people are slow and considered in their delivery.
People are known to feel a better, closer connection with people who are a likeness to themselves. So matching the pace of a person's speech is a great way of building relationships.
