Each person had a question about how to make a pleasant impression on his interlocutor. There is no one specific answer. After all, each is unique in its own way. But there are basic techniques that, although they do not guarantee success, significantly increase the chances of successful communication.
It's no secret that verbal interaction is just the tip of the iceberg. For successful communication, it is important not only to have a competent and beautiful speech, but also to control your body language. For example, if you talk about an exciting trip with a stone face, it will hardly make an impression on anyone.
A way has been invented for quite a long time how to completely capture the attention of the interlocutor. His name is "Report".
The essence of the report is that you need to adapt to the interlocutor. In the first step, you need to choose the same tempo of speech as your opponent and try to copy the rhythm of his breathing. It is very important! The second stage is somewhat more complicated. You will need to copy the movements of your interlocutor. Just do not do it too intrusively, do not imitate, but copy. For example, if he raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, then you can run his palm through his hair or rub his eyebrow. The main thing is that the movements have a similar character.
If you do everything correctly, then your interlocutor will unconsciously begin to repeat your movements too. This means that the report has been successfully installed.
This technique is very good when you need to convince someone of something. With this approach, even a person who is not familiar with you will not consciously show a greater degree of trust in you.
But the report can be used for more than convincing strangers.
Suppose you have a small child at home who has difficulty falling asleep. All that is required of you is to lie down next to him to adjust to his breathing and start reading some fairy tale, gradually slowing down the rhythm of your breathing and pronouncing the words a little slower and a little quieter. You will see it will work! Tested in practice.
