21 - Communication Skills - Listening Styles

Communication skill rests on the foundation of self belief and confidence. This podcast is on the aspects of communication and has useful content for those listening to assist you to face those conversational and relationship challenges that COVID19 has thrown at us and which is our first experience in our living lives.

This episode is about Listening styles that people adopt based on their state of mind which could be emotional or logical. You will hear about the seven different listening styles and how each style impacts listening and understanding the spoken messages. By knowing these listening styles, you are better equipped to communicate your core message in a manner that the recipient is fully in tune with your thoughts. The seven listening styles are (a) Discriminative – Basic & practiced by Babies, (b) Comprehensive – needs language & vocabulary knowledge, (c) Critical – used for analyzing situations, (d) Sympathetic – emotional based listening, (e) Informational – used for learning, (f) Biased – selective listening of what we wish to hear, and (g) Active Listening – the best way to listen, are all explained in a simple way. Wish you happy listening and let us begin the conversation for a better today…
