Nothing specific except that he encourages modeling good skills, as teens see/hear everything even if you think they aren't paying attention. I think some of the other folks here made some good suggestions. I know that some kids like to talk without pressure, so not making a big deal out of it, or talking while driving somewhere (no eye contact sometimes makes it easier for kids to open up), or casually talking while doing an activity can make it feel less threatening.
