We’re proud to share that The Good Listening Project team recently attended the End Well Conference 2025 in Los Angeles – joining a rich convening of voices dedicated to how we live, how we die and how we care for one another. The conference brought together thought-leaders, clinicians, advocates and artists in a one-day exploration of truth, technology and transformation in end-of-life care.

In November 2025, I had the privilege of facilitating a customized workshop, “Listening Leaders: Building Rapport and Community by Listening,” for the Ready TECH Hire program. The workshop moved beyond traditional communication, exploring how holding space, solidarity, and the art of silence serve as essential tools for effective leadership.
