You: "Ok, this what I understood... explain in your own words what you think the other person said"
Have tried to implement this and it is definitely effective.
One way I initially tried is to listen to what the other person said and explain in my own words.
Later I felt a better way is to while listening write some rough points on a notebook using pen about what other person said and then use those short handwritten notes to explain in own words what he said.
Now, I felt that an even better way is to keep one small notepad open on your laptop, and type some very short notes while the other person is speaking, and then use it to explain in own words what he said.
Between the second the third approach the difference I have seen is that the third approach enables a more cleaner thought process than the second in my case.
