HEAR By Sidewalk Talk
Have fun while changing yourself and changing the relationships around you.
“`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 for HEAR from a previous participant
HEAR With Heart
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.
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.

What People Are Saying
“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.”
— Praise from a recent HEAR graduate

“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.”
