1. Talk to people who don't dominate the conversation. Talking to conversation dominators is anti-practice: you're practicing how not to finish your thoughts and express yourself fully.

2. Read smarter material.

3. Write more and edit your writing more than you normally would. That will force you to think about where you can improve your verbal expression.

I guess the opposite is true if you're the one dominating conversations :-)
