Learning to Listen in Different Ways, with Graham Bodie of the Listen First Project

This Is Civity by Civity

Episode notes

In this episode, we welcome Graham Bodie, professor of integrated marketing communication at the University of Mississippi, and chief listening officer with the Listen First Project.

As with Civity, the Listen First Project supports the creation of bridging relationships - focusing its efforts on elevating the impact, visibility, and voice of organizations doing bridging work.

We explore how Listen First brings bridging organizations together and works to bring more people to the experience of connecting across differences. 

We also discuss the act of listening itself, the importance of learning how to listen, and what listening looks like in different contexts.
