We dive in deep about building relationships quickly and understanding how to read the room.  🤝To build relationships quickly, one needs to know and understand themselves and how one presents themselves in the world. They need to be able to read the room, be unafraid to say I see you and have a sincere curiosity about people. Reading the room To read the room not only means being able to understand the context of the situation, but to read the non-verbal cues, and be able to modulate depending on the person. To read the room, one needs to be mindful of the situation, be aware of like body language, and be attentive to the conversation.
