From Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) to Certified Compassionate Listening Facilitator and Trusted Listening Professional, my mission is to create a more compassionate world—one where everyone feels truly seen, heard, and valued.
Whether you need a space to be truly heard or want to build a more compassionate workplace, I, Kanika Arora am here to help.

Core Principles

Cultivating Compassion

Experience and express gratitude and appreciation for yourself and others.

Developing the Fair Witness

“Go to the balcony” to look at a situation objectively, considering each person’s role and stepping into their shoes to see their perspective.

Respecting Self & Others

Welcome connection yet set respectful limits, akin to creating a healthy membrane between yourself and another.

Listening with the Heart

Anchor in the heart when listening for the deeper qualities beneath the stories we hear.

Speaking from the Heart

Anchor your energy in the heart when seeking words of understanding and connection

"Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart... Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less. If you want to help him to correct his perception, you wait for another time. You just listen with compassion and help him to suffer less. One hour like that can bring transformation and healing."

Thich Nhat Hanh

(originator of Compassionate Listening as a practice for healing and reconciliation)

No Names, Just Gratitude

I always thought I was a good listener. But when colleagues told me they didn’t feel heard or that I dismissed their opinions, I was surprised. This workshop with Kanika made me see why. The Truth Box showed me how easily I assumed I understood others when I didn’t. The Drama Triangle made me realize how often I slipped into roles like the rescuer, thinking I was helping, but actually shutting people down. Talking to others in breakout rooms made it clear—I wasn’t really listening, just waiting to respond. It was uncomfortable but necessary. Now, I catch myself before I interrupt or jump to conclusions.

Going through a divorce felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was drowning in emotions— grief, anger, confusion — but I had no one to truly talk to. Friends and family tried to help, but their advice only made me feel more lost. I didn’t need solutions. I just needed someone to listen. That’s when I booked a session with Kanika at The Listening Co. From the moment I started speaking, I felt a sense of relief. Kanika didn’t interrupt, didn’t judge, didn’t try to fix things—she simply listened. Her presence was warm, patient, and understanding, and for the first time in a long while, I felt like my feelings truly mattered. By the end of the session, I wasn’t magically healed, but I felt lighter. The weight on my chest had eased, and for the first time in weeks, I could breathe.
