Last Sunday there was an interesting title of Darcy Rezac's "Positive Networking Tips" weekly note, which attracted me at 9am. This weekly tips contain useful hints for impressive communication, networking, making connections, and related topics, and the title of the latest one was "Are you a V, A, or K?". Not finding the letter of my initials among the possible options, I jumped to the content to see what they are talking about. The crux is the following, and I am citing from their note to be maximally precise.
"In his book, How To Make People Like You in 90 seconds or Less, Nicholas Boothman says that one of the key components of building rapport with someone is to first figure out if they are a Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic person. You can do this by listening to the words they use when they speak. "Visuals tend to use picture words: 'I see what you are saying.' Auditories choose sound words: 'Sounds familiar' and Kinesthetics favour physical words: 'Hang in there'.” Once you have identified someone’s sensory preference, you can respond using their language -- get on their wavelength. Try it this week with your work colleagues, boss and even your spouse. Chances are they will walk away from that conversation feeling like you two are really connected."
Being able to make connections is a valuable asset. Why don't you do one more step forward towards making your connections better? Just try to figure out whether they are V, A, or K.
