How To Be A Relationship Nurturer - Chris Lincoln

Chris Lincoln is a Relationship Manager with Global Data in the UK, and he makes the case that you do not manage relationships, you nourish and nurture them. He tells Greg how teaching guitar, piano and drums to kids at a summer camp in Pennsylvania taught him to read people and adapt, including one boy who had given up until he ended up performing in front of hundreds. The conversation moves into how he actually learns what a client needs, why some clients want to be guided while others just want to be listened to, and why the relationships inside his own company matter as much as the ones outside it. They also get into self awareness, the difference between owning a room and controlling it, and the warmth and competence balance Chris found in Vanessa Van Edwards' book Cues.
