JUST Listening is premised upon the beliefs that:

  • Being heard empowers the speaker
  • People hold the solutions to their own problems within
  • Skilled listening is creative, opening up new possibilities for all involved, and can be a powerful tool for personal and social change.
  • Although rarely consulted or listened to, people on the social margins are the best source of information and ideas about the issues facing them.
  • Skilled listening is possible only when one is actively cultivating self-awareness and regular habits of reflection.

    • JUST Listening workshops are customized for each individual or organization, and are designed to provide participants at all competency levels with leadership tools, communication skills, and work attitudes and behaviors that result in personal, organizational, and social change and transformation.

    Listening is an act of Justice.

    One definition of justice is ‘right relationship’. The work of JUST Listening is to foster ‘right relationships’ for individual empowerment, workplace cohesion and effectiveness, inspired leadership, and ultimately, the Common Good.
