Description

Help your learners achieve immediate and lasting performance improvement through the simple art of effective listening. The assessment, available in online and print formats, determines listening effectiveness in three dimensions. With the optional classroom course, learners explore the visible and invisible aspects of listening, learn what it takes both physically and mentally to listen, understand common barriers to effective listening, and create a plan to put new skills into immediate action. This comprehensive program is designed to enhance your listening abilities and provide sustainable results.

How it works

The Learning to Listen self-assessment is available in both online and print formats. Using one-on-one conversations as a frame of reference, individuals respond to a series of 30 statements, choosing from a five-point scale of "almost always" to "almost never." Results reveal an overall listening effectiveness score as well as sub-scores in three dimensions: staying focused, capturing the message, and helping the speaker. The inventory takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and we recommend you allow about an hour for interpreting results.


In addition to the Assessment, the Learning to Listen Facilitator Guide includes all the tools you need to lead a half-day session. The third edition also offers online assessment options for individual users, self-study learning that features a comprehensive interpretation of results, the listening model, a review of responses, and development exercises to help improve performance.
