1. Start by making sure you're paying attention to the person who is speaking.
2. Make sure to give the other person your full and undivided attention.
3. Ask questions that show you are engaged in what they are saying.
4. Avoid distractions, such as checking your phone or looking around.
5. Practice active listening, which involves repeating back key points from what the other person said.
6. Don't be afraid to pause for a moment before responding.
