For the speaker:
1. Speak loud and clear, so that everyone in the room hears what you're saying.

For the listener:
1. Be prepared to listen and understand.
2. Be respectful. No talking, eating or really doing anything really distracting while the speaker is speaking.
3. Look engaged when the speaker talks. Make it seem as if you are genuinely intrigued by what they are saying.

When no one's watching her, she can give way to her real feelings - not because she is a hypocrite, but because it is hard if not impossible to stay true to oneself (and open about it) in a small community.
