Techniques of effective listening include participating during the meeting by asking pointed questions. Allow the speaker to open up the meeting to questions or wait for a pause. Ask your question by rephrasing the main point. The repetition gives you another chance to go over the point before the speaker clarifies. Additionally, going into a meeting expecting to ask questions gives you another incentive to listen carefully.
