Just Listening:
Recovering Resiliency

We collect information about each participant in our registration form to create partnerships based on shared constituency, language, field/profession, and other factors. While there is no such thing as a "bad" Listening Partner, your answers will help us match you with someone you can fully use this practice with to get the most benefits from this transformative program. 

If you are registering with someone you'd like to be matched with, and you've confirmed you want to be Listening Partners, you can indicate this in the registration form as well. (We will only match you if you have both put each other's name in that space on the registration form.)

We have identified the following commitments to ensure you and the other participants get the most from the program:

• Attend the Kick-Off workshop in its entirety (2 hours)
• Complete 10 weekly 1-hour Listening Partnership sessions with the Listening Partner assigned during the Kick-Off workshop. One hour each week for 10 weeks.
• Attend the 2-hour Just Listening Program small group coaching sessions mid-way and at the completion of the program. Approximately five and ten weeks after the Kick-Off.
• Have cameras on and working audio for all LJIST virtual sessions and weekly Listening Partnerships. Seeing and hearing each other* encourages community building, builds trust, and supports us as we lean into our vulnerability. For these same reasons, we kindly request no avatars be used. *with support for participants with hearing or vision loss. 
• Meet in a quiet, private space for all LJIST virtual sessions and weekly Listening Partnerships with no (or minimal) distractions. We ask participants to not be driving, in public spaces, nor even in shared spaces with people not registered for the session except in the case of emergencies. Maintaining confidentiality of what is shared in our small group and one-on-one sessions is a requirement. We also ask that you do not share the Zoom link with others.
• Agree to our LJIST Limited Media and Liability Waiver in the registration form. 

Please contact us at [email protected] if you have questions about any of these commitments that are not answered in this FAQ. 

We've outlined the participant commitments with the intention of supporting you and the group to get the most from the program. If you already have a known conflict for some or all of the Kick-Off Workshop or Small Group Coaching Sessions, please contact us at [email protected] before registering. It is likely we can co-determine an elegant solution to support your participation in the program. 

To protect participant confidentiality, we do not allow the use of AI-meeting assistants in our workshops or coaching sessions.

We provide closed captioning to all our sessions through an automated AI service. We do not allow participants to download transcripts nor share transcripts with anyone.
