What is the purpose of "I Love to Listen Day"?
Listening happens every day but I Love to Listen Day is the day designed for everyone to take time to deliberately share and celebrate the gift of listening. A day to be a proactive listener!
Our goal this year is to have an "I Love to Listen Day" celebration activity in at least 32 states and 32 countries.
In 2006, The International Listening Association gave Oprah Winfrey Listener of the Year award!
