What is you experience as a Listener?

You are someone who has been out in the world, listening. You have especially been listening for people's vision. What have you heard? What has it been like for you?

a spiritual leader said he would have to think more about what his vision is

an anarchist talked about his vision for startling people awake- creating a fun colorful world where people and their needs are met

a mailman thought the question was too personal and I heard his commitment to being respected

two youth ordering at Chipotle's didn't have a vision

a woman working at Chipotle's had a vision for peace in all the world and strong communities

Often people have no idea what their vision is. When I ask what they want for the world, they often start from what they DON'T want, or a complaint. When I give them back the vision or commitment that I hear behind the complaint, they light up, like Yes, THAT is who I am.

Bank teller - Committed to all children being taken care of

Barrista at Whole Foods - Points to the vision of the company and proudly states that this is who he is. I hear, among other things, being of service, a world that works for all, and sustainability

Store owner - A world of trust and respect
