How to practice humility: Listen first. Ask thoughtful questions. Don’t judge what the other person is saying prematurely. Listen more than you speak. Hold back from correcting minor details. Admit when you don’t know something. Avoid interrupting. Listen with your whole body. Resist the urge to one-up. Avoid boasting or self-promotion. Speak gently. Let encouragement and loving-kindness shape your words. Express gratitude. Look for chances to praise others and give credit where it’s due. Apologize when you’re wrong or when you act poorly. Focus on connection, not performance. Know when to remain silent.
