Speech

How well I listen

Listening is not silence. This is about what you do while someone else talks.

25 statements, about 4 minutes

What the result will show

  • Attention where your attention is while someone talks
  • Clarifying asking again instead of filling in the blanks
  • Patience letting people finish when the point seems obvious
  • Holding advice asking whether advice is wanted before giving it
  • Remembering whether what was said stays with you
