The theme for this 43rd annual convention is one that relates to us all. Change is all around us. Some of us are returning to a new world that is slowly but surely opening up again. Clearly many areas in our lives are seeing change. We need someone to listen to provide the necessary peace and understanding at work, at home, at play, with friends, co-workers, and family. We also need to learn how to listen to others. In the words of Margaret J. Wheatley, “Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation is the root of all suffering."

This site was created to inform others about this important event. Started by the International Listening Association (ILA), International Listening Awareness Month is celebrated each March. This upcoming year (2018) marks the 19th anniversary. This global celebration helps the ILA in promoting the critical role listening plays in all human activity.

 

The ILA promotes International Listening Awareness Month at social, educational, and professional events throughout the world; its membership represents 25 countries, including Australia, Canada, Great Britain, India, Japan, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Sweden, and the U.S., to name a few. You can learn more about the ILA by visiting its website and by reading the ILA's newsletter, Listening Post, that you can find at the ILA website.

 

March was chosen as International Listening Awareness Month because it provides a good lead-in to the annual ILA convention, which is usually held in March; however, this year the convention will be in the summer. We always have a great time sharing research and insights about listening..
