“He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.” – Confucius. Stakeholders are far more likely to support your project when they feel a genuine connection with you. But how do you develop rapport when so many of us only have relationships through screens and never meet our stakeholders? And how do we do it authentically and honestly? Nobody likes a greasy, transactional salesperson, right? We need our stakeholders for the long haul. This session explores practical methods for building authentic rapport that leads to effective collaboration, shared ownership, and excellent outcomes.
