Listening Assessment
Reflect on levels of listening during a week.
Listening and conversation are keys to engaging our Inner Operating System and recognizing the impact our attention has on our reality and the systems we work in. Awareness of a system affects that system. To design or create together from an “emerging future,” we first understand the awareness levels we need to get there. Let’s use Theory U’s four patterns of listening and conversing to evaluate the quality of our engagement with others.
