2. Be Well Informed and a Good Listener

Simultaneously, be a keen listener so that you make others feel important and wanted.

Step-3: Be Sensitive and supportive of Other

Treat others with respect and dignity. Give them space and do not be rude or intrusive. When we show interest in others it wins their trust. Be humble and down to earth and encouraging in your attitude. Never belittle or make fun of others that may hurt their feelings.
