Stay Present and Focused: Make a conscious effort to focus on the speaker, maintaining eye contact, and setting aside electronic devices.

Avoid Interrupting: Interrupting can disrupt the flow of communication and make the speaker feel undervalued. Instead, wait for an appropriate pause before speaking.

Ask Open-ended Questions: Once the speaker has finished, show your engagement by asking open-ended questions to encourage further discussion and deeper understanding.

Offer Feedback: After the speaker has conveyed their message, paraphrase what you understood to ensure clarity. This confirms that you were listening.

Mind Your Body Language: Non-verbal cues like nodding, maintaining an open posture, and avoiding fidgeting can convey attentiveness and respect to the speaker
