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.

- Appreciative - listens in a relaxed manner, seeking 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 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
