72_____

Find common interests

Come up with something that will make both of you interested.   73___ It ties a human touch to one’s relationship even if it is at a professional level.

Listen and then validate (prove that something is true)

One of the most difficult tasks to do in a conversation is really listening.  74___ Do not just keep quiet because you want to give the other person a time to talk .
