I want it to be a useful hour that someone comes away from feeling like it’s been worthwhile. If I let them use up all the time with something that isn’t moving them towards where they want to be, then I’m not doing my job. Repeating back what someone has said not only helps me to check I’ve understood it correctly, but also can help to get my voice in, and then move from hearing what someone has said to building on it and offering new ideas.
