1. Lower your own voice. When you're dealing with a shouting person, keeping your voice Lowe might seem counter-intuitive but it works. It encourages the other person to calm down in other to listen to what you have to say.

2. Use your words carefully. Don't tell your colleague to lower his voice in a way that makes him look immature (even if he is). You can explain that the shouting is affecting your hearing

3. If it doesn't work, leave the place for a while (if possible). Sometimes, telling someone to lower their voice only makes them increase their volume especially when you keep repeating your request. Know when to stop and walk away.

4. Make a formal report. If this is an occurrence that never stops, you can report to your superiors. Care should be taken less you make unnecessary enemies in your workplace
