Nonprofit: Full Seminar FULL SEMINAR (7 hours / 1+ day(s)) Expands on each element of the introductory seminar, and can be done in a full-day format, or in multiple sessions over two or more days. It focuses on how to present ideas quickly and powerfully – thereby earning the right to a longer conversation; strategies for making a greater impact – including how to escape a pigeonhole, how to make an "old" but important argument fresh again, and how to build consensus among those who may disagree with you (the difference between being "right" and being effective). We discuss etiquette and strategies for pitching; how to build relationships with editors and publishers (how to achieve an author editor "mind meld"); and the value of seeing your argument as part of a bigger picture—and yourself as part of a larger public conversation. We also read a sampling of the greatest arguments of all time—essays, speeches and op-eds that have changed the world—so that we can consider why they were so powerful and what approaches and techniques we might borrow.
