In order to win in today’s daily outrage culture and with weaponization of social media, elected officials have to harness the power of language to change hearts, change minds and change behaviors of ourselves and others.
We have become a hyper-attentive nation that is quick to judge. The words and visuals you use today are more important than ever in determining whether you win or lose at the ballot box, the checkout line, and the court of public opinion. More than ever, it is important to speak how listeners and readers will interpret your words rather than speaking in such a way that makes you happy. Join Deb in learning how to navigate the issue of the day and remind your voters of their hopes, dreams and aspirations that are still within their reach.
