Rebecca Desjardins is a community organizer, wedding coordinator, and facilitator of meaningful conversations. Listening plays a vital role in her work from helping couples plan their dream weddings to supporting her mother through health care challenges. Rebecca pays special attention to the small, yet habitual acts of listening – rather than one-off grandiose ones. An offer to listen is also an invitation to your conversational partner to take a moment to process life. She points to data that shows the top attribute of a meaningful and fulfilling life is depth of connection with another human being, if even only one. Following that is the quantity and diversity of social interaction – this could be the little exchanges we have each day at the cash register, with a stranger on the street, in classes or offices, etc. Listen to all her and Brent have to discuss and head to the Be Generative website to explore Generative Listening workshops, coaching, and other opportunities to deepen the way you listen and live.
