The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins: 075 How to Build Rapport

075 How to Build Rapport

Feb 6, 2023

In this week's episode we are talking about building rapport with your coaching clients. We get asked about this alot so thought it would be a good subject to address as rapport building looks quite different when developing it personally rather than professionally.

We discuss:

what rapport is and the role it plays when coaching
when rapport building begins
where rapport is built
how it is built through tone of voice and body language to name a few
the role of curiosity, listening and deep inquiry
how important calibration is to rapport building
the power of rapport with self

Rapport is an important part of the coaching relationship and needs to be considered in every second of the coaching session and we can understand that the rapport building process can begin long before a person even becomes a client. So, intentionally building rapport at all stages of the process is so important.
