Looking for social strategies to help you build and maintain your relationships and connections? I discussed this, his latest book The Laws Of Connection and so much more with David Robson on Episode 80 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
In this episode, we will learn about:
How understanding and overcoming the liking gap can help build new connections,
The impact of having an ambivalent connection/ frenemy,
Understanding which connections are healthy from those that are not,
Why benign envy can sometimes be helpful,
The importance of conversation, asking appropriate questions and actually listening,
How praise and appreciation of your colleagues can be valued by them like financial rewards,
Giving honest feedback and limiting “white lies”, and
How to promote yourself in a pleasant way and avoiding “humble bragging”.
David is an award-winning science journalist. His first book, The Intelligence Trap, has been translated into 15 languages and his second, The Expectation Effect, won the British Psychological Society Award. Previously an editor and senior journalist at BBC Future, Robson is now a freelance journalist; his writing has appeared in The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Atlantic, Washington Post and more. He graduated with a degree in mathematics from Cambridge University.
In this video David and I talk about the liking gap, which looks at when we meet people for the first time and our perception of how the interaction has gone is sometimes worse than the reality and we can underestimate how much that other person likes us and how this may hinder our ability to build new connections in our work and personal life.
