ECHO LISTENING INTELLIGENCE™, IN A NUTSHELL
ECHO Is Scientifically Validated

ECHO is Easy to Understand
- The results of the ECHO Listening Profile are delivered in a simple, user-intuitive report that quickly educates one in the basic concepts of ECHO, then provides a detailed personal profile, designed for easy understanding. ECHO is simple to implement in organizations of any size. It delivers practical information that can be immediately applied with visible results. ECHO shifts the communication experience as powerful choice in assessment technology.

ECHO doesn’t just improve business productivity; it also enhances personal relationships.
In the words of Dr. Allan Friskin, “We need each other to complete each other”. That’s true in all relationships, whether in business or with family and friends.
