HEAR
The heart of listening
To practice the devotion of listening and shifting from a skill to a core value was really interesting to me. I had not thought of listening in that way, but it is so true!
Praise from a recent HEAR graduate
HEAR will teach community members to:

  • Truly HEAR others
  • STOP judging and fixing everyone else
  • EMPOWER friends and strangers alike
  • Prevent stress and anxiety from having CONTROL
  • BREAK interrupting habits
  • REDUCE conflicts
  • RELATE skillfully in a post lock down world.
  • Fall in LOVE with the beauty of other human beings
  • Become the BEST LISTENER possible
HEAR is very encouraging. It dives in and asks us to get real. If we want to heal our communities, we must do our inner work. I have imagined this as a personal choice and been shy about sharing inner work. But it isn’t personal. It is essential.

The heart behind HEAR
"We are made for connection."
HEAR by Sidewalk Talk was created by relationship and listening expert, Traci Ruble, to empower individuals to discover the art of connection and the power of listening. In a world that’s moving ever more towards isolation and toxic individualism, truly HEARING one another is vital, maybe now more than ever before.

Since its inception, HEAR has brought over 200 individuals on a journey towards truly hearing those around them—helping those in this community feel more empowered and become their most centered self. Participants will use the skills acquired throughout the course to radically disrupt today’s me-focused culture and transform the lives of those in their homes, communities, and world for the better.

HEAR is a course to sharpen your interpersonal and listening skills, but more importantly, it’s a community of people all working towards the shared goal of a more empathetic, hearing, and inclusive world, together.

Sound like something you might want to be part of?

Good quality listening changes both the listener—making them more open to insight, feedback, and changing their attitudes—and the person being listened to—contributing to openness, insight, introspection, and changing attitudes. It’s kind of magical.
