Listen to Your Community — Simple Measures That Help

The Problem

"Most communities are never really asked how things are going, and when they are, the questions are long, the answers vanish and nothing changes. People stop answering. A few good questions, a promise kept, and one visible change make listening worth people's time."

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who leads a group, team, residence, society, class, congregation or community and wants to know how it is really going.

Hosts often guess how their community is doing, and guesses can be wrong. A companion to Gregory Walton's Ordinary Magic, with Peter Block, this course shows you how to listen to a whole community: ask a few fair questions anonymously, keep a privacy promise, read numbers and stories honestly, report back, and change one thing together.
