Remember that the speaker is trying to convey a message to you. Help them by reflecting what they have told you - something known as "reflective speech". This involves restating both the words and feelings of the speaker to confirm your understanding.
This also encourages them to continue. If at any point they falter or lose confidence, try to encourage them with a smile or a nod.

Ask questions!
This is a great way to show people that you are thinking about what they are telling you.
If you have any doubts, clarify them! Sometimes this may help the speaker identify gaps in their knowledge or understanding. You could also help them identify bias in their thinking.
Today's steps are focused on asking questions - both to ensure you understand the basics and to ensure you understand the specifics!
