A two-person conversation diagram shows a sender requesting a revised brief by Thursday, the receiver repeating the request and deadline, and the sender confirming and clarifying that the updated budget belongs in it. Arrows show the message, repeat-back and confirmation.
Active listening becomes observable when the receiver repeats the request and the sender confirms or corrects it. This illustrative workplace exchange adapts a healthcare communication practice; it is a conceptual example, not a measured workplace result. Original diagram based on Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, archived by the U.S. Government Publishing Office, TeamSTEPPS Pocket Guide — Check-Back.
