active listening. Instead of thinking about your reply while someone else is
speaking, pay attention to what the person is saying and show you understand by
paraphrasing what they said before offering your response. It is a difficult

empathy, your ability to meet people where they are, and your interest in
creating genuine relationships.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:
