Five Poor Listening Styles

Spacing Out

  • when we ignore someone because our mind is wandering off
  • we're caught up in our thoughts and feelings

Pretend Listening

  • when we aren't paying much attention to what the other person is saying, but we add insightful comments at key junctures
  • "Yeah" "Cool" "Sounds Great"

Selective Listening

  • we only pay attention to what interests us
  • we talk about what WE want to talk about instead of what the other person wants to talk about

Word Listening

  • we only pay attention to the words, NOT the body language

Self-Centered Listening

  • we see everything from OUR point of view
  • often a game of one-upmanship
  • We usually reply in one of three ways:
  • We judge
  • We probe
  • We advise
