How to Build Rapport with Anyone

September 05, 2025

We’ve all had conversations that just flow—where trust builds quickly and the connection feels effortless. But why is it that with some people it clicks, and with others it falls flat?

In this episode of the Business Coach Unplugged Podcast, I’m going to tackle the topic of building instant rapport. Too often, leaders and business owners think rapport is about being likable or finding common ground. In reality, it’s about understanding the deeper drivers of human behavior and learning how to meet people where they are.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • A proven framework for creating connection in minutes, not months

  • How to use DISC insights to instantly “read the room”

  • The role of motivation triggers and how they shape communication

  • Why cultural and generational cues can make or break a first impression

  • Practical ways to apply these tools in leadership, sales, and everyday interactions

Whether you’re leading a team, selling a service, or simply wanting to connect more effectively, this episode is packed with strategies you can put into practice immediately.
