Our Community Listens is a training that has been utilized by large corporations, non-profits, and human services organizations. It is a three-day communication skills training offering a transformational learning experience to strengthen relationships, align teams, and build stronger communities.

Learn how to listen to connect with others
Appreciate the impact your nonverbal behavior has on your verbal communication
Develop a more effective way to handle confrontation

The way we teach is unique. Our facilitators teach from experience as opposed to only delivering information. We have intentional curriculum that continuously loops through...
Enlightenment (personal insights),
Equipping (practical tools), and
Empowerment (practical application and sustainment).
The course is three days, running from October 9th through October 11th. We will start every day at 8:30 AM and end each day by 4:30 PM.
The modules build on each other. It is imperative that you attend each day in its entirety.
This training is applicable to anyone that wishes to communicate effectively with your co-workers, friends, family, and well... anyone you talk to!
