Listening Project
The Listening Project aims to foster stronger working relationships among colleagues through intentional dialogue across differences. The program is organized by pairing participants based on factors such as workplace differences. Trained coaches foster dialogue between partners in cluster sessions on topics that range from getting to know one another to views on their communities. The goal of the program includes building relationships among individuals that normally may not develop a relationship, increase understanding, and improve the climate and individual success at KSU through building trust and credibility.
The program includes four facilitated group sessions, complemented by encouraged 1:1 partner interaction between sessions to reinforce connections and support ongoing dialogue.
