Personal Listening Profile

The Personal Listening paper Profile is a 16-page self assessment instrument that helps people discover their most natural approach to listening while gaining insight into the different listening approaches of others.  In addition, participants learn when and how to adopt another approach for more successful communication.  

The online (EPIC) version of the Personal Listening Profile provides all of the same elements of the paper-based instrument, plus a Communication Gap Analysis -- an at-a-glance look at how the respondent's listening strengths and weaknesses relate to the intended message of the speaker.  An enhanced action planning section encourages people to reflect on their listening styles and to develop strategies for improvement. 

The Personal Listening Profile Facilitator's Report gives a snapshot of group dynamics by showing the similarities and differences within your group that can lead to miscommunication.  It also helps to identify those individuals whose scores fall outside of group averages and who may feel isolated by the dominant listening styles of the group culture. 

(Requires each person in the group to complete the online (EPIC) version of the Personal Listening Profile)
