Be attentive, but relaxed.

When you have the person's attention, you don't have to stare uncomfortably at that person. You can look around and at other things in the room to prevent awkwardness. The most important thing is to be attentive. 
"Try not to focus on the speaker’s accent or speech mannerisms to the point where they become distractions. Finally, don’t be distracted by your own thoughts, feelings, or biases." 

I have terrible listening skills. I also don't like to keep eye contact for too long. How comfortable are you with keeping eye contact?
