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 gives insight into five listening approaches:
- Appreciative – listens in a relaxed manner, seeking enjoyment 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 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
