Be Patient Let the speaker continue in their own time and do not jump in if there is a pause. Be patient and never interrupt or finish a sentence for someone. Avoid Personal Prejudice Do not be irritated and do not let the person’s habits or mannerisms distract you from the message. Focus on what is being said and try to ignore styles of delivery.
