“When you share your story, you invite others to open up and share theirs.”
The “Sharing Style” of Pull is about creating connection and trust through vulnerability. By sharing your own experiences, insights, or challenges, you encourage others to feel safe and open up. This style is perfect for building rapport, fostering collaboration, and deepening relationships.
When to Use the Sharing Style
– When building trust with a new team or client.
– When encouraging someone to share their thoughts or feelings.
– When resolving conflict or creating a safe space for dialogue.
How to Apply the Sharing Style
1. Be Vulnerable: Share a personal story or experience that’s relevant to the conversation.
For example: *’I remember feeling the same way when I started my first leadership role. Here’s what helped me…’*
2. Show Empathy:** Use phrases like:
– *’I understand how you feel because I’ve been there too.’*
3. Encourage Openness: Ask questions like:
– *’What’s your experience with this?’*
– *’How do you feel about it?’*
