April 2025 Speaker 
Sharon Browning, Esq. 

Sharon Browning, Esq.

inspiring speaker, trainer, activist, and co-author of The Little Book of Listening: Listening as a Radical Act of Love, Justice, Healing and Transformation 

Since 2007, Sharon Browning and her JUST Listening team have been teaching a powerful method of listening that facilitates meaningful social change, healing, and transformation in some of the most challenging settings in the US and abroad. Radical listening is an essential macro-skill and a necessary prerequisite to forming the relationships needed to effect real change in the face of so much inequity, oppression, and injustice.  

    Join us for this powerful 2-hour workshop where we’ll get to hear about Sharon’s heart-led journey from public interest lawyer and sociology professor to inspiring activist, Radical Justice and anti-racism facilitator, and trained spiritual guide. We’ll learn the key elements of JUST Listening and the specific communication skills needed to engage in transformative dialogue and “difficult conversations” in our personal, professional, and civic lives. It will be interactive and experiential, and we will leave feeling inspired and energized. Sharon’s grounded, joyful energy and unflinching hopefulness is contagious, and a much-needed antidote to the overwhelm and hopelessness so many of us have been feeling in recent months.
