of what we have learnt is not through talking or reading, but from listening.

Our Listening Consultancy services have been developed to help our clients develop innovative strategies for becoming more effective communicators. Our aim is to get you heard in ways that precipitate the changes you want to see. Traditionally, we have worked with the sustainability champions in big organisations who have struggled to get their sustainability messages heard and acted on by key stakeholders. Working closely with these champions we have developed powerful communication strategies that have led to profound organisational change. The tools we have developed through our listening consultancies are relevant to anyone wanting to communicate a powerful message in ways that engender change while providing strong leadership.

We work with all organisations who are interested in using sound and listening to address some of the most pressing issues facing the planet.

Depending on your specific needs which can be identified in our first conversation you will speak to either our listening expert Dr Mike Edwards or our sound expert Harry Coade. The aim of the initial consultation is for us to listen to you and then, based on what we hear, advise you on ways you could use basic sound and listening techniques to address the issues you identify.

For obvious reasons, any group events are a challenge at the moment; however, we can offer on-line team building opportunities and definitely, in the future, we will be offering bespoke away-day or team building weekends. We also offer listening retreats which are deeply immersive events and build on materials we offer in our courses.
