Start by seeking out feedback from people you trust. Ask them if they view you as a humble person and where you could be more open or empathic. Make sure to set aside your defensiveness and take (negative) feedback as a chance to learn and grow. Lastly, focus on empathy: try to put yourself in other people’s shoes and be genuinely concerned about other persons.
