The most important thing, beyond pronouns, is to just not make assumptions/generalize based on their appearance.

Like, if they present masculine, don't call them over and go "Hey hey hey, you're a dude, that means you like football. You watched the super bowl right?" Or exclude them from something based on usual binary norms.

That's like 90% of the work.

One of my favorite coworkers is AFAB* non-binary, and he once complained to me that all the new hires treated him "like a girl, which I'm not" while aggressively flexing their surprisingly well-muscled arm.
I told them I understood. It led directly to me coming out to them via Facebook message.
*assigned female at birth. Also they're fun and are a she/he/they enby, though I try to avoid using she/her because that's obviously the pronoun set they hear the most.
