Our Mission
​
Listen First Consulting, LLC is a company established with a dual purpose.
First, it is designed specifically to help adults who are at a transition point in life such as:
​
-
a change in their work status or livelihood
-
returning to the community from incarceration
-
divorce/separation or death of a loved one or
-
facing financial uncertainty and need assistance in identifying next steps and direction for themselves
​
We do this by offering an established personal insight program which helps individuals focus on their innate talents and gifts. This is a ninety-day guided coaching program which helps individuals identify what career path is best suited to them. Development of a professional resume is available in this program.
​
Second, Listen First Consulting, LLC provides for the facilitation of effective communication practices for small business owners who are experiencing and have identified low morale as a barrier to production or goal accomplishment among their employees. This program begins with a program assessment of current communications practices and ends with a new communication practice model.
We Cannot become the best of ourselves by ourselves
