Being like to work has so many advantages from
helping you get better peer reviews help when you
need it, or even establishing yourself as a
leader. Plus, you'll deal with way less drama.
That's why you need to know these five easy hacks
that boost your likability at work in five minutes
or less. If you're ready for them, tap that like
button and let's jump straight in, we're going to
start with the easiest one find a reason to like
the other person. This likability booster works
for a very simple reason, we tend to like people
who like us, and vice versa. Now I do realize that
this is going to be easier with some people than
others. But there's a few places that you can look
in order to find a reason to like someone. First
and foremost, we need to differentiate because
sometimes people are very different personally
than they are at work. So you can like the person
without necessarily having them be your favorite
person in work, especially if they're one of the
five villains that I talked about in recent video.
But there are so many reasons to like anyone, it
can be as small as liking them for your mutual
hatred of eggs or admiring their grammatical
accuracy in emails. Or maybe there was that one
time that they laughed at one of your bad jokes in
a meeting, even if it's just one thing, find a
reason to like that person that you're working
with, this is going to totally change your energy
towards them, which in turn is going to change
their energy towards you. Now the next tip that I
have for you to boost your likeability actually
piggybacks off of this one, and that is to pay
them a compliment. The reason why this hack works
is because people like people who make them feel
good about themselves. It's so simple, and it has
such a big payoff. Think about it. Even if your
worst friend me at work, it's Rachel complements
you, it makes you feel good about yourself. And
that makes you like them. Even if it's just a tiny
bit more. You know, Rachel sounds so bad after
all. Now, this is actually really simple to do.
But you just found a reason why you like that
person, you can actually use that reason to issue
them a compliment, they can be super casual reply
to their email and say, I love how you don't make
a million typos like Jennifer does make a lot of
typos. However, I'm sure that there's lots of
reasons that you can give them a compliment. What
I recommend is to find a reason to give them kudos
for a job well done, this is going to recognize
their work, make them feel validated and seen. And
they're going to like you more now you get a
bonus. If you also see see their boss, their boss
knows about the good work that they did, making
them look good, making them feel good about
themselves. We're basically likability booster
stacking here at this point, and I'm going to give
you an extra bonus on this tip, if you give them a
compliment on something that they contributed on
or helped you with, which puts a little bit of a
showcase on your work, everyone's winning. But
wait, there's more, there is an ultra bonus level
here. Because what happens in the human brain is
when someone issues a compliment, the person feels
indebted, they feel like they owe them something
and they are immediately going to search for a way
in order to repay that karma. And they're probably
going to give you a compliment in return. And if
that happens, that is aces, it is just icing on
the cake. And there's probably another bonus level
if there is actual cake involved. And this
actually brings me into my third quick and easy
tip on how to be more likeable at work. And this
is actually going to help you a lot with the last
one. And that is to ask them for help. The reason
why this helps you become more likeable at work is
when you ask someone for help, you are making them
feel important. You're recognizing their
awesomeness and what they can contribute. Again,
this makes them feel good, makes them like
themselves makes them like you Have you spotted
the pattern here. Now just like the last tip, this
actually pays off in more than being more likeable
at work. This can actually really help you be more
successful with their input, but also raise
visibility, because when you ask them for help,
they are now personally invested, whether it's
asking for their opinion on a strategy that you're
setting a solution to a problem that you're
struggling to solve on your own, or just getting
an opinion on something. If you implement their
advice. They are now invested and they are
actually a contributor to that project. Now I know
a lot of you are like, yikes, no, I'm not sharing
credit, they are not taking credit for my work.
That's not what's happening here. The thing is, is
if your success is their success, they're going to
talk about it because it makes them look good,
making them like you more again, that's the whole
point here. But it also gives you that natural
follow up in order to praise them which again is
going to amplify your likability with them. And it
actually gives you more opportunities to have your
work promoted and showcased. Remember, just
because they look good doesn't mean you look bad
in this situation. Everyone looks good, everyone
wins. And that's the situations that we want to
construct whenever possible to work now
this fourth tip is probably going to earn me a lot
of thumbs down on this video because I know I know
there are going to be people watching this that
don't like what I'm about to say except for the
awesome people. They're going to stick around and
they're going to be here for it. My fourth tip on
how to be more likeable at work is to keep it
professional more and more in the conversations
that we're having here and that I'm having Live
with clients and on different platforms and in
different ways is that people are really bringing
a lot of stuff into work that is not work
appropriate. For some reason, professionalism has
just flown out the window. Now this isn't to say
that we need to be stodgy wearing suits and boring
and dull and like robots, because that's not it at
all. And I don't know, maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
But I'm a big believer in workplace etiquette. In
fact, I think workplace etiquette is crucial to
have a healthy workplace. This is how we maintain
a positive working environments demonstrate mutual
respect for each other, and ultimately poised
ourselves to be likable at work, because we're not
alienating anyone. Now, if you want those things
like more respect at work, and getting promotions,
and the pay increases that go with them, make sure
you're subscribed and tap the notification bell so
that you can catch that video. As soon as it comes
out. However, some are related, we're gonna go
into the fifth likeability booster that takes less
than five minutes to implement. And guys, this one
is so easy. It's, it's a lost art. Really. The
fifth way to be more likeable at work is to not be
a D bag, being kind to goes a long way. Kindness
makes people feel respected, appreciated,
validated. And it just makes the workplace so much
more pleasant. And there's so many ways to
implement this hack that take literally two
seconds. For example, smile at someone, it's not
hard, just when someone is speaking in a meeting,
pay attention, listen to them. Don't be sitting
there scrolling your phone, signaling that you
just don't give an F about what they have to say
no one likes the person who does that. It's rude.
Another thing that you can do and this is actually
going to amplify your likability even more tell
them that you like them. I really like working
with you. I really like what you had to say in the
meeting. I really like your contributions to this
project there again, going back to the reasons why
you like them. There's so many reasons why you
actually like someone, but how often do you go out
of your way to tell them that you like someone?
And how awesome is it when someone tells you that
they like you are that they like something that
you did again, making them feel good? Makes them
like you I know I've said that a million times in
this video. But this is really a fundamental tenet
of likeability. Ultimately, this tip works because
being a good human works, and I sincerely believe
that the more that we can just treat people well
whether or not we like them. By the way, the more
positive experience we're going to have at work,
the more we'll like our jobs, and quite honestly,
this is going to pay off for you because it's
going to help you create more career success. Now
I have one more tip this one I didn't want to
include in this video because it does take more
than five minutes but it is really easy to get
started on one of the best ways to increase your
likability at work is to build your confidence.
People really like confident people, we gravitate
towards confident people. That's why people like
Chad if and if you've been hanging around here or

oundation of confidence at work and it is going
