Repeating back what someone has said to show understanding is a highly effective and essential communication method. It demonstrates empathy and a genuine effort to understand both the thoughts and emotions of the other person, providing a welcome relief from the experience of not being understood. This approach is universally effective across various interactions, including with customers, investors, recruits, teammates, spouses, and children. Joining the right company early in one's career is crucial, as it can lead to long-term connections and support from a network of individuals who have been 'battle tested' together, which can solidify and shape one's career trajectory more than the specific role or compensation at the company.
