Personal Listening
Successful organizations know that effective communication bolsters employee morale, boosts performance, and increases the bottom line. They also know that the strongest influence on the quality and outcome of all communications is the ability to listen well. Only by listening effectively can people respond appropriately.
Learn To Listen &
Respond With Purpose
Listening is more than hearing. Listening is the ability to receive, attend to, interpret, and respond to verbal messages & other cues, like body language, in ways that are appropriate to the purpose.
If the message is entertaining, our purpose is to enjoy, so we listen and respond in a relaxed manner. If the message is intended to persuade us, our purpose is judgment, so we listen and respond critically.
It is estimated that people screen out or misunderstand the intended meaning or purpose of a message in over 70 percent of communications, making listening the biggest contributing factor to miscommunication.
Discover The Impact Of
Different Listening Approaches
The Personal Listening Profile helps individuals identify which of the five listening approaches they use to process, organize, store, & retrieve information:
Appreciative
Listens in a relaxed manner, seeks enjoyment, entertainment, or inspiration
Empathic
Listens without judging, is supportive of the 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 the main message, and
determine important details
Evaluative
Listens in order to make a decision based on information provided and
may accept or reject messages based on personal beliefs
The Personal Listening Profile also helps people understand when their most natural listening approach may not be appropriate, and how to adopt another approach for more successful communication.
