Monitor your “self-talk”—or tame your internal monologue.

Expand your emotional vocabulary. Put feelings into words with one new word a day.

Improve your awareness of body language—read your own and that of others.

Practice self-evaluation—and reflection. After each interaction with clients, ask yourself: What surprised you? What impressed you? What moved you?

Practice mindfulness to improve your sense of presence.

Spend three minutes a day in total silence.

Keep an observation journal and write down the things you notice.
