WHAT IS RAPPORT?

Rapport is an emotional bond or friendly relationship between people based on mutual liking, trust, and a sense that they understand and share each other’s concerns.

 

Why is rapport so important?

The word rapport comes from the French verb rapporter, translated as "to return or bring back." The English dictionary definition is "a sympathetic relationship or understanding." Making a personal connection is the key to success.
