Did You Know that Listening Is a Habit that Can Be Changed?

Research shows that companies with highly effective communicators deliver a 47% higher total return to shareholders and are 3.5 times more likely to significantly outperform their industry peers.

For years, many have referred to abilities like communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence as “soft skills,” but that term underestimates their complexity, significance, and financial impact. These POWER SKILLS are among the most critical assets in any organization.

ECHO Listening Intelligence™ helps us identify our listening preference and change our listening habits to those around us.

As a Practitioner of ECHO Listening Intelligence LQ and LIFT™ (Listening Intelligence For Teams) services, I assist individuals and organizations in the identification and coaching of their listening preferences/habits.

LQ identifies four types of listening preferences including: Connective, Reflective, Analytical, and Conceptual—providing a powerful framework for self-awareness and more effective communication.

Why is this important? Because listening is not just a courtesy—it’s a business advantage.

So, what’s your listening preference and how might you adapt your habits?
