I've done in subconsciously a few times but never knew why those first interactions went so much better than other times. Now I have something tangible I can do to get my mind right before going into a new situation with new people. I'm a bit introverted and though I love people and care for them, I'm not always aware or as interested in meeting new people as I probably should be. Thanks for the tips. Assume rapport….

I so agree with the concept of mental and emotional flexibility. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I have seen over and over that as someone’s ego heals and integrates they become more flexible inside and less reactive in life. This, of course, as you stated takes practice. Thank you, Dr. Jennifer Howard http://www.DrJenniferHoward.com Dear Henrik,

Just like the point on assuming rapport, one needs to make the first move to make himself/herself available and heard among his/her peers. It is all about whether one is prepared to make the first move to approach others. Very often, we are all guilty of this as we are fearful of embarrassment and rejection by the other party. In a nutshell, a large part of our lives are tied down by emotions and only by freeing ourselves from this very emotional barrier then can we grow and develop into a better person.

I especially love the portion on assuming rapport. I think that if you assume rapport with people they open up to you a thousand times faster and conversations just flow. Excellent points.

It can be getting them to sign that contract, make that sales or just to build up a better relationship. What I try to do is to allow the other person to talk more than me and try to model the other person's physiology. Modeling others physiology is a proven method to help increase rapport. Cheers, Vincent Hi Henrik,
