ECHO's university presence

Since 2017, ECHO has been incorporated into university classrooms, as well as university staff and faculty training. Participating institutions include Manchester University, Rockhurst University, the University of Colorado at Boulder. 

ECHO is making a positive impact in communications courses, leadership development, and executive education. 

"Because of this listening class, I've found myself asking others around me more questions about their interests and likes. [ECHO] gave me courage to listen to anyone regardless if I know the person or not. Also, because I know my listening style, I can communicate that to others allowing them to know how to effectively communicate with me."
