The Practice of Full Spectrum Listening

This session will engage participants in an activity they can adapt for courses in most disciplines and to most learners. This session will demonstrate experientially how essential intentional listening can be to team-based inquiry and problem-solving. In the current polarized context, students, workers, and scholars of every stripe can benefit from a deliberate focus on how we comprehend, or disregard, other’s observations, values, and concerns in the public square, the workplace, and academia. The facilitators will guide the participants in Full Spectrum Listening, one of the dialogic practices promoted by Essential Partners (EP). EP designed the Reflective Structured Dialogue (RSD) process to work with diverse individuals dwelling and working within polarized communities to develop connections characterized by respect and dignity in the face of divergent/opposing ideas about tackling challenging and even wicked problems on a foundation of mutual dignity. The Full Spectrum Listening activity is a practice that cultivates a way of listening to others that engages us fully in considering with respect what others choose to tell us.
