12. Don’t get defensive. If you are being given some feedback, listen to what the person is saying. Don’t interrupt with reasons until you are very clear what the person is saying. They may have some helpful comments to make that you will miss if you interrupt their flow.
13. Don’t formulate a response until the other person has finished speaking. You will miss out on some of the things they say.
14. If there is a silence, don’t rush to fill it. Wait twice as long as feels comfortable for you. Give the other person time to think.
15. Put yourself in their shoes. Don’t criticise or give advice, don’t rush to fix it. See the issue from their perspective
