Put yourself in the other person's shoes discuss each other's perceptions. Ask questions so that you understand, and could explain, the other's point of view.

Ensure that everyone participates so they will have a commitment to the outcome.

Listening is an important tool as you may need to check that you understood the discussion. Try interpreting and reading back others' statements. Remember to ask questions if you are unsure of an issue, chances are others within the committee also need clarification.
