You never get people's fuller attention than when you're listening to them."
- Robert Brault
"To listen well, is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well."
- Chinese Proverb
"In today's polarized world, we're committed to turning the tide by starting new conversations that cross aisles, demographics, and everything else that divides us.
We believe when people genuinely listen in open and honest conversation - especially with someone on the "other side" - our relationships, communities and culture are transformed.
Listen First Project is a non-profit advocacy group that facilitates greater understanding, respect and cooperation by encouraging the timeless but abandoned practice of listening to each other, regardless of politics, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education or any other distinction. We believe in the power of listening to transform our discourse and change the world."
