  • Rapport is when a person trusts you and feels that you understand their needs.
You need to build rapport by demonstrating:
  • Your non-judgemental acceptance of the person
  • That you are genuine and trustworthy
  • That you can empathetically put yourself in their shoes
  • You need rapport with a person so that they share the information that you need to help them
Establishing rapport
