Can someone expand on this? What is the value of repeating what people say back to them? Is it to show them that you understand what they are saying, or is it to allow the person to think about what they just said so that they might reevaluate it?


1. Show them you heard and understood.

2. Give them an opportunity to clarify if you didn't quite understand.
