Influence Others
Influence others
Making change is about convincing others that your changes are a good idea. Change is hard, and your arguments must be engaging and compelling. Social media is an effective, immediate platform for your ideas.
Actions:
Along with using social media, learn how to write a press release and to be an effective public speaker.
Focus your message so people know immediately what you believe and what you're hoping/asking for. Many times you have a finite time frame to engage your listener; use it wisely.
Know your audience. Your message to fellow activists should be crafted differently than your message to funders or administrators.
