Where Does LQ Fit into Organizations & Groups?
We’re humans. Communication is essential. We literally listen each other into being. Our ears bring in sounds that go into our mind, where they illuminate with meaning and context.
LQ 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.
Think of LQ beyond the business formalities. Every organization has multiple conversations going on between people, in small groups, across departments and on all interpersonal levels. Increasing the effectiveness of your conversational communication is like using a productivity GPS.
LQ is an agnostic tool that empowers individuals to be more effective in conversation. It is transparent, appropriate for all situations. LQ helps us understand our listening preferences and become more conversationally aware.
The benefits of an LQ listening program, implemented in collaboration with Kevin Glenn, a certified ECHO trainer and accredited business coach, are almost endless.
