For me, it started with a few books.
"Ego is the Enemy" by Ryan Holiday established a great baseline mindset to be in.
"Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking when the Stakes are High" is the most applicable book. It explains in detail how other people interpret your actions, and how to approach a delicate conversation with care.
Some in person training helps; I quite enjoyed the sessions my company provided from Life Labs.
Mostly you'll learn being a good listener isn't only shutting up and letting them talk, it's also actively considering what they're saying and asking the right questions.
