Learn to listen

People like to be heard and understood. Developing active listening skills and putting forth a sincere interest in the other person can and will skyrocket your people skills. Listen with intent. Your non-verbal communication is a part of the dialogue here as well. Make proper eye contact, reassuring physical contact if appropriate, or simply smiling and nodding. Reassure the other person when speaking, repeat key phrases, make an open-ended question to confirm your interest and that your following along. Highly effective listeners take this one step forward and look for messages between the lines.
