Use the Personal Listening Profile® as 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 with the Personal Listening Profile
It's 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
The Personal Listening Profile helps people in your organization:
- discover their natural approach to listening
- capitalize on their listening strengths
- learn how listening approaches impact listening effectiveness
- improve their ability to understand the purpose of different communications
- use listening approaches appropriate to the communication
- overcome listening barriers and reduce conflict
- enhance individual and team performance
Effective Communication is Built on Effective Listening
The Personal Listening Profile also helps people to see that their preferred listening approach may not be appropriate to every situation. They learn when and how to adopt another listening approach for more successful communication.
