Presence means putting away distractions and being mentally and emotionally available;
Nonverbal signals like eye contact and nodding help build trust and connection;
Paraphrasing shows the speaker you've heard them clearly ("So what I'm hearing is…");
Curiosity involves asking open-ended questions to encourage deeper dialogue;
Constructive dialogue values understanding over winning, especially during disagreements;
Daily practice—even one deep listening moment a day—can transform your communication habits.
