A big part of being a good communicator is being a good listener. Hearing the words and understanding what the other person means and feels are vital skills in nurturing healthy relationships. This starts by truly focusing on what is being said. Try not to interrupt and don’t appear judgmental or critical. Also, keep eye contact, nod, smile, and maintain an open and inviting posture.
