“Wait, why am I talking?”

Webinar: Thursday, June 5 | 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. CT

Corrin Wendell, AICP

Could curiosity be planners’ most underrated tool? This interactive webinar explores building trust within communities and de-escalating conflict by listening to understand rather than respond. Participants will learn how bias, institutional culture, and power dynamics can act as barriers to being fully present and how to address them. In a landscape marked by increasing polarization and rapid-fire communication, the ability to truly listen has never been more urgent or more powerful.

Building on the foundational concepts of deep and active listening, this virtual interactive training traverses the crossroads of improv and active listening. Participants will build listening agility, embrace vulnerability, and learn how to respond to tension with confidence and care. No improv experience is necessary – just a willingness to engage, reflect, and listen with your whole self.
