Staying Focused Concentrate on what speaker is saying, including words, voice inflections, rate of speech, body language, etc. (as many as possible). Avoiding thinking about a response. Interact with short verbal affirmations (“I see”) and nonverbally with small gestures (::nod::). Avoid interrupting. Do not finish other’s sentences.

This gives us a lot of time. Many of us fall into bad habits during that time. Use various strategies to stay focused on what the other is saying and not being distracted by your own thoughts.
