Attend this session to learn:

- Power and influence-How to build it

- Why some strategies work and others die a slow death

- Three well-kept secrets about billionaires and their political strategies

- How to develop two fresh approaches to elections in your local community

Intended Audience

The workshops are intended for candidates, campaign managers/staff, County Democratic party organizations, progressives and independents. The foundation concept-it is for people who want to "increase their skills" so they can create change sooner. People who enjoy active learning situations will flourish in the workshop. The content is based on the latest research and thinking related to systems thinking, group and individual behavior. All content has a theme of advocating for progressive values.

Follow Up (Optional)

If interested, participants can meet after the workshop to continue some additional learning about workshop topics. Webinars will be used for this supplemental learning.
