    •  Gestures: Gestures enhance active listening by showing engagement and understanding. Nodding signals agreement,
              hand movements express interest, and facial expressions convey emotions. For example, nodding while a speaker
              talks encourages them to continue, while an open posture shows attentiveness. Proper use of gestures creates a
              supportive and interactive communication environment.

               •  Avoiding distractions: You must first identify the sources of your diversions. To listen properly, you must physically
              remove all distractions. Reduce the ringtone on your mobile or turn it off while attending a meeting or listening to
              someone to avoid distraction. Another example is that you should avoid regularly checking your Instagram/Whatsapp
              messages.

               •  Providing feedback: Feedback can be either positive or negative. However, in both circumstances, one must be
              respectful so that the person receiving the input doesn’t get hurt or insulted.
               • Clarify and Ask Questions: If something is unclear, ask open-ended questions to gain a better understanding.

               •  Provide Thoughtful Responses: Respond in a way that acknowledges the speaker’s perspective and adds value to
              the discussion.
