Listening Well is an organization that believes in the power of stories to inspire and heal. Grounded in Appreciative Inquiry and Indigenous Wisdom, our work inspires people to access and unleash their potential in order to co-create the magic of community (Oneness/Wholeness). Our current focus is mental health and recovery, but the call for using stories of wellness and wholeness to create community reaches beyond the mental health or any “system”. We seek to move the work further out into business, education, faith communities, anywhere Stories/Truth wants to be told and heard. We speak and train nationally (and plan to internationally).

Ask the companies in the market what vision means to them and they’ll shrug their shoulders because vision is the real unknown management tool today. This happens because there are no structured or proven visioning methodologies or frameworks available. The main problem most of the companies have is that they spend little time in the visioning part of the strategic process and focus mostly on the short term. Vision is the most essential component in strategic planning If the vision is weak, the entire company will be at risk. Many companies treat their Vision as a mere statement.
