YOUR ADVOCATE SUPPORT PROGRAM, BY DESIGN

LPA Advocate Workshop programs are not off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all. That’s why we always begin with a Discovery and Planning phase that includes meeting with you and your team to understand your advocacy aims and messaging, and the specific needs of your advocates. Then we work together to identify outcomes and set specific goals. If appropriate, we also assist with your advocacy messaging.

From there, we design a customized program that typically includes these three key areas:

1. Advocate Engagement and Prep

We help prepare your advocates for a successful workshop experience and active participation with engaging pre-workshop activities such as thought-provoking exercises, readings from Living Proof: Telling Your Story to Make a Difference or a webinar or keynote (live or recorded) on the power of personal stories to create change.

2. Fundamentals and Developmental Exercises

Advocates learn best practices for making an impact with personal stories through a combination of coaching instruction and interactive exercises.

3. Practice and Coaching

Advocates receive presentation and/or media skills practice and immediate feedback and encouragement from coaches in an inviting, safe and professional environment.
