If you and your organization are wondering..."How can listening create a barrier, rather than a bridge, to communication?"
Good communication is one of the most valued skills in the workplace.
And effective listening is basic to communicating productively inside
the organization and meeting the competitive challenges outside.
The Personal Listening Profile®
helps people become active, purposeful listeners in a wide variety of
situations for more productive communication.
Discover the Impact of Five Listening Approaches
It is estimated that people screen out or change the intended purpose
of what they hear in over 70% of all communications! The biggest factor
contributing to such miscommunication is our listening approach.
Behavioral research shows that people listen with a preferred listening
approach. The Personal Listening Profile®
research describes five listening approaches:
- Appreciative: listens in a relaxed manner, seeking
enjoyment, entertainment or inspiration.
- Empathic: listens without judging, is supportive of speaker
and learns from the experiences of others.
- Comprehensive: listens to organize and make sense of
information by understanding relationships among ideas.
- Discerning: listens to get complete information,
understand main message and determine important details.
- Evaluative: listens in order to make a decision based on
information provided and may accept or reject message
based on personal beliefs.
