Focused Listening Sessions
We often think we know what our clients, donors, or stakeholders want — but do we really?
Focused Listening Sessions offer a powerful way to uncover what truly matters.
Identifying a community’s dreams, concerns, action ideas, and most trusted partners
Conducting early-stage research for a new facility, service, product, event, or initiative
Exploring sensitive or complex topics with care
Generating fresh ideas and unexpected perspectives
Adding depth to surveys and other quantitative data
Evaluating organizations or programs through the lens of donor, client, and stakeholder experience
