What It Really Means to Listen: A Special World Listening Day Message from Judie Caribeaux
In honor of World Listening Day 2025, Mission + Strategy’s Chief Collaborations Officer, Judie Caribeaux, shares powerful insights on how deep, intentional listening can transform relationships, build trust, and strengthen leadership. Drawing from her experience as a licensed clinical social worker and nonprofit executive, Judie reminds us that listening isn’t about staying silent or waiting to speak. It’s about being fully present, curious, and respectful. This kind of listening matters, especially for nonprofit leaders, executive directors, and CEOs navigating collaboration, change, and mission-driven work.
