Paraphrasing
In order to understand the content of a discussion during a meeting or a face-to-face dialogue with a colleague, you have, on the one hand, to listen very attentively and, on the other hand, to also observe the non-verbal communication behavior of others. Sometimes using the technique of paraphrasing is helpful, i.e. repeating or rephrasing something in other words and incorporating the level of non-verbal communication as well. This allows you to mirror your understanding of the content and thus to generate mutual understanding.
