3. ACTIVE LISTENING ASSESSMENT

 

In our society, listening is essential to the survival and development of the individual, and, since we learn our culture largely through listening, we learn to think by listening, we learn to relate by listening, and we learn about ourselves by listening.  Listening is not only physiological but also a process of recognizing, interpreting, and understanding the message being sent. There is a difference between listening to respond and listening to understand. Effective communication is not something that is just acquired, it is a set of practiced skills; skills that can be lost if not practiced and honed on a consistent basis. Effective listening requires care, appreciation, and verification. This questionnaire is intended to offer a quick assessment survey with supporting discussion material for training and reflection Just making an effort to look like a good listener is a psychological boost that assists in capturing the whole message - the attitude, the motivation, and the feelings behind the words. Communication is much more than talking and waiting to talk.

 

4. TRUST & THE WORKPLACE – SELF-REFECTION ASSESSMENT

 

When trust exists in personal and professional relationships, almost everything else is easier and more comfortable to achieve, including problem solving and conflict resolution. When our actions are consistent with our words, trust can be achieved and arises from our interdependence with others to achieve outcomes we value. Because cooperation cannot be compelled, social interactions are valuable as a foundation for confidence or belief one feels toward another or others to overcome doubt or fear.  Trust is the mortar that holds together the stones of the arch we walk through in fulfilling relationships. When trust weakens, the ruble of broken expectations and implied promises impairs communication and recognition of the other person as value to co-existence or cooperation. ​

​

5. WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION 

 

Interpersonal workplace relationships are a major part of our lives. The risk presented by poor listening and communication begins with weakened connections or relationships with others, often colleagues or team members upon whom we rely for goal attainment, success, or merely satisfaction of being together. The way we communicate often has a direct influence on how we perceive and evaluate each other, and a vital element in productive communication is listening.
