As toxic polarization continues to grow and divide us, it is more important than ever to work towards becoming bridgers. Listen First Project is an organization that transforms division and contempt into connection and understanding, despite our many differences, in turn-bridging the divide.

Dr. Graham Bodie, Chief Listening Officer, discusses the research around effective listening and communication, how we can come together, effective strategies to use, and the importance of building an authentic connection. It turns out, throwing data and statistics out during a heated debate rarely yield the results we'd like them to. Who would have thought!

Join us, listen, and learn.
