=======================
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
SESSION 1 (07/19/18)
“The Power of Free & Open Societies”
You will learn about the pursuit of a more free and open society and why this vision is critical to ensure individuals enjoy more freedom and more well-being as they pursue happiness and success on their own terms.
SESSION 2 (07/26/18)
“Sharing Freedom by Storytelling”
To engage people about issues at the deepest level, you need a story that allows people to relate and feel empathy, compassion, and trust. In this session, you’ll learn how your personal story touches the lives of others and how to use your story to explain issues in an engaging way that sparks action.
SESSION 3 (08/02/18)
“Persuasive Messaging”
Whether giving a speech, writing a blog, or engaging with someone one-on-one, inspiring others is a specific craft that stems from knowing the fundamentals of persuasive messaging. In this session, you will master the effective tools that activists use across multiple platforms to communicate the case for freedom and inspire others to join the cause.
SESSION 4 (08/09/18)
“Communities Versus Networks”
Change isn’t created solely by one person and it doesn’t happen online. Change happens when people form relationships and trust. This session will explore the history and art of creating an effective movement by engaging in the person-to-person strategy of community building.
SESSION 5 (08/16/18 )
“Human Action and the History of Grassroots”
Throughout history, small groups of highly organized individuals have successfully risen to change the world against unorganized majorities. In this session, you’ll learn how to apply the six primary ingredients needed to run successful grassroots movements and draw on the lessons from Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises’ “Human Action Model.”
SESSION 6 (08/23/18)
“Impacting Your Elected Officials”
Once you’ve identified the change you want, how can you best see it through completion? We discuss best practices for engaging, influencing and convincing elected officials to join your efforts for change within your community.
I look forward to seeing you at the training!
For Freedom,
Pressley Stutts
Chairman, Greenville TEA Party
