Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.

Building Rapport - Episode 75

Hello, everyone. I am Julia and this is the podcast about life in Russia. Всем привет, с вами Юля, и это подкаст о жизни в России. Я буду говорить медленно и разборчиво.

Сегодня я прочту вам рассказ современного писателя Станислава Севастьянова.

Russian for foreigners

My favorite city. Мой любимый город. / I am reading a short story. Читаю короткий рассказ.

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

当下的中国互联网上，有一句有意思的话，“在上班和上进之间，选择了上香；在求人和求己之间，选择了求佛”。意思是年轻人宁愿选择去寺庙上香拜佛，也不愿意去上班；比起向外索取，更愿意信仰佛教。

当然，这是一句开玩笑的话。但是数据显示，今年以来，寺庙门票订单量同比增长310%；从2月起，预订寺庙门票的人群中，90后、00后占比接近50%。这说明，现在去寺庙参观祈福的人中，有一半是30岁以下的年轻人。怪不得这句话这么火爆。

我觉得，这说明了两件事。第一，当代中国年轻人的压力和焦虑很严重，在升学，就业、婚嫁上面，年轻人都面临很多艰难的选择。许多的年轻人祈求考试通过，升职加薪，找到自己的另一半。有人说，当代中国的年轻人接受了很多西方的外来文化，不再对中国传统的文化感兴趣，年轻人的寺庙热，就是对此判断的有力回击。

第二，以前的寺庙都是深藏不露地在深山老林里，充满了神秘。但是现在，许多寺庙注册了社交媒体账号。甚至有一种寺庙经济，悄悄在年轻人中间走红。中国传统的儒释道（儒家思想、道家思想和佛家思想）也被越来越多的年轻人所接受。很多年轻人人对传统文化和修行方式感兴趣。虽然真正的儒释道精神，很难领悟。但是这不妨碍大家对传统文化的喜爱和追随。

当然了，在寺庙里走一走能获得的片刻宁静，对于当下浮躁焦虑的年轻人来说，也是莫大的安慰和鼓励。这才是这句话火起来的直接原因吧。

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。
