The power and possibility in listening.
In this column, the author describes the power of listening. There are three engaging listening modalities that are explored that form a foundation for exploring the power and possibility in listening: living true presence, participating in the council process; and engaging in strategic questioning. Several strategic questions are raised to explore the possibility of integrating these listening modalities into the nursing academy.
