The video explains: 1. Listening styles encompass various dimensions, including empathic versus objective listening, non-judgmental versus critical listening, surface versus depth listening, polite versus impolite listening, and active versus inactive listening. 2. Empathic listening involves understanding and feeling the speaker's emotions, allowing you to see the world from their perspective and enhance relationships. 3. Objective listening, on the other hand, focuses on understanding the speaker's meanings and feelings against an objective reality, sometimes requiring detachment and objectivity. 4. Engaging in empathic and objective listening involves punctuating the message from the speaker's point of view, maintaining a two-way conversation, seeking to understand both thoughts and feelings, avoiding offensive listening, and guarding against expectancy hearing and biased attitudes.
