We believe

The ability to truly listen is needed now more than ever. Our world is growing increasingly interconnected and divided at the same time.  Effective listening bridges these concepts and serves as the cornerstone of meaningful relationships, successful collaborations, healthy lives, and impactful leadership.

“Listening, at its core, is deeply connecting. My vision as a future healthcare provider is to deeply connect to and serve women. ILA has been instrumental in helping me fulfill my purpose through connection, collaboration, and contribution.”
