When people meet you for the first time, they form an almost immediate opinion about you. Sometimes it will be the right opinion, sometimes it will not. If you want to be successful personally and professionally, it will be a lot easier to develop strong relationships if people like you.
Here are some tools you need if you want to develop your likeability.
They all begin with the letter C. First of all, you need credibility. This will be the result when you gain respect, create trust, and build a great rapport with people. Secondly, you need consistency. People will trust you if you act in a consistent manner. An example of inconsistency is when people treat some colleagues differently to others. Finally, you need confidence. Confident people make wonderful team players.
If you find a spark is missing in your relationships, consider working on these 3 Cs. Improve YOUR likeability by working on your credibility, your consistency, and your confidence.
