Reading up on communication skills is a good place to start.

Listening to others too. I'm a fairly good listener but beware of some people who talk non-stop and don't listen to you, they're not worth your time.
Be an active listener. Listen to what people are saying. Ask appropriate questions and give a few comments.



Conversation is an art form - the better you are at listening the better you will become at conversation.
