• finish sentences for others. interrupting sends a message that what you have to say is more important and can diminish the speaker's sense of control and importance
• try to persuade others without fully listening to their point of view. you might end up learning something that could change your viewpoint

• genuinely want to listen. authentic sincerity creates an atmosphere of trust
• be receptive to the speaker's needs - he might just need you to listen, and not try to fix his problem. sometimes being listened to is enough
• listen with a nonjudgmental attitude
• allow the speaker to fully explain her position, problem, etc. before jumping in with your reply. not interrupting gives the speaker a sense of importance and a potential self-esteem boost
• look at the speaker with interest, but not with a quizzical expression that may imply something is wrong
• smile

Take into account regional speech, dialect and cultural differences. For example, the pace or speed at which someone speaks may differ by regions in a country, and in some Asian cultures children are taught to avoid direct eye contact with authority figures.
