What are some ways to use emotional intelligence to build trust with someone you're trying to persuade?

People love others who show empathy. But in general, they're not very good at showing it. Accordingly, if you take this path and expect to see empathy from others in return....you will often be disappointed. You should still do it though because it's a nice thing to do.

We crave connection, common ground and being known and accepted. Knowing these things and nurturing these needs builds trust and a desire to build together.

??????Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else's place and feel what he feels, and also see the subject from a perspective, and that means that you will understand what he is going through , and be a good listener, empathy does not mean always giving solutions but in many times it is enough for those in front of you to feel that you understand

It must involve active listening to understand the other person's perspective, demonstrating empathy by acknowledging and validating their feelings, and fostering open communication marked by transparency and authenticity. Adaptability and emotional self-regulation showcase your responsiveness and reliability, while building rapport through positive relationships and finding common ground strengthens the emotional connection. Consistency between words and actions, collaborative approach to conflict resolution, the recognition of achievements contribute to a sense of integrity and reliability. Positive body language, recognizing the gradual nature of trust-building, and practicing patience.

News Be known as the person who brings good news, or spins the silver lining of (bad) news and present it as good news. Smile and smile.. Smile a hearty, welcoming and warm smile when approaching people - or when you are approached. this makes a person lower their defenses to receive the good thing you are bestowing on them. Secretive keep secrets.. always.. this makes people confide in you.. human nature necessities sharing secrets .. so a secret keeper is being a great human being by holding a copy of the secret in total confidence - even if the secret owner leaks it..

When we are authentic and embrace the distinct sides of us, this invites connection as it allows people to relate to real experiences, emotions and perspectives. The resulting connection is not only profound but enduring, supported by qualities such as openness, vulnerability, and sincerity. I believe authenticity is an extension of being honest about who we are. As humans, we are naturally drawn to authenticity, and it plays a pivotal role in developing trust among us.

Authenticity is fool's gold. You can't achieve it if you're 'trying' to achieve it. It must emerge naturally. The moment you aim for authenticity, you automatically miss the mark.

??????Emotions are strong and inevitable in any human interaction. They can either help or hinder your ability to convince someone, depending on how you do it, in the sense that if you know how to manage it in an appropriate way it will not affect you negatively or even on your performance and you will know when and how to control it, emotions are part of man, with all their joy, pain, all this is reflected

Emotions aren't things to be managed but signals that alert us to underlying values, thoughts, and assumptions. We have two sets of emotions to consider: our own and the person we want to influence. We may feel frustration, anger, hopefulness, anticipation. Recognizing these emotions might prompt us to empathize with and be curious about the other person. Why don't they agree with us? Or maybe being excited at the possibilities motivates us to find better ways to communicate the benefits of change. The other person may feel vulnerable, attacked, or unsure. In response, we comfort or share how we've considered their perspectives or ensure they feel heard. Emotions influence how we act, influencing how others feel and act.

Trust is cultivated through the acknowledgment and acceptance of differences. It doesn't necessarily entail complete agreement, but rather, it involves genuinely comprehending the perspective of the other person. When individuals feel heard and understood, the foundation of trust is established.

I've had the opportunity to see this firsthand as a mediator. There are many ways to provide value to someone you wish to influence. The first is to create rapport and a comfortable, safe space to explore new ideas. When your intentions are sincere and directed towards a better outcome for both, your points of view can broaden the other person's perspective while sharing new knowledge. You help your counterpart envision a better future or possibilities they may have yet to recognize. If you approach the conversation with curiosity and empathy, you will empower them and inspire confidence in their worth and contribution. This, in turn, predisposes the other person to collaborate and increase their buy-in. So, there's plenty of value to add!

????Emotional intelligence is one of the most important skills required in all areas of your daily life, you need it with your family, friends, neighbors, all these without having emotional support, you will not know what is the best way, in the field of the job you need it to know how to deal with colleagues and with various situations and challenges There are studies that have proven that emotional intelligence ranks first in terms of importance before mental Zakat, because having emotional Zakat ensures the presence of creativity, speed of action, adaptability

??There are some ways that are part of emotional intelligence, . ??Caring about your image, and that includes your clothes and your general appearance ??Empathy, and that includes caring about those around you and knowing how to communicate with them effectively _I don't agree with those who believe that mental intelligence is more important than emotional intelligence _For example, you can find a person who is mentally superior, but he lacks all communication and dealing skills, and he doesn't know how to build relationships with those with him, and all this because he lacks emotional intelligence, and we find that this threatens employee sustainability

You can only effectively persuade someone if you're able to build strong cords of trust between each other. Trust as we know it, is a 2 way street. You cannot want someone to start trusting you if you've not shown them you're trustworthy by your actions and intentions. Having said that, it becomes very important to be able to communicate your intentions clearly with the opposite person. Making them aware of your actual intentions for 'them' as a reason for your persuasion. And if you're able to do that and your intentions are genuine, you will be successful in building that trust and persuading them.
