- Believe that others will say very important things that make you do your job perfectly. So let them say it.

- Think before you say anything, this will give others time to say and you listen

- Train yourself to write down what others say, this will make you concentrate on what they say.

- Remember that others have the story, not you.

- Practice on giving others a number of minutes to say everything and you say nothing

Instead of immediately judging the person who is speaking, or coming up with a "solution" right away, just take the time to listen and to look at the situation from the other person's perspective. This will help you truly hear the person instead of forming your own opinions before you truly understand the situation at hand.
