Are you an advocate, changemaker or community leader with lived experience who wants to tell your story to drive change?

We’re coming to Chicago with a special opportunity to explore, learn and increase your skills as a storytelling advocate. Here’s how it works:

  • Oct. 1-10: Virtual: Access an online 45-minute introduction to the foundations of successful advocacy, available for your on-demand viewing, and receive a free eBook of Living Proof: Telling Your Story to Make a Difference.

  • Oct. 13-21: Virtual: Get online support from coaches as you prepare your own 3-minute advocacy talk.

  • Oct. 22, 9:30-noon; In-person: A personalized, interactive workshop in Chicago led by Tim Cage and John Capecci (cofounders of Living Proof Advocacy, creators of the acclaimed LPA Method) and Chicago-based LPA-certified coach Gordon Mayer of Gordon Mayer Communications.

All above available for $300/person

Discounts available for multiple persons from an organization. Space limited to 15-18 max.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Advocates, nonprofit staff, peer leaders, public speakers or anyone who wants to use their personal experience to create change. You don’t need to be a seasoned speaker—just someone with a story and a cause. We’ll meet you where you are.

Note: At LPA we aim to create safe, respectful and open environments for the exploration of personal stories. We expect participants in our workshops to enter with the same commitment to respectful communication.
