Our Lives Our Voices Series: Power of Youth Advocacy Virtual Workshop REGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/power-of-youth-advocacy-tickets-123738241411
This workshop is part of the free Our Lives Our Lungs Youth Empowerment Series for Burlington middle and high school aged youth interested in opportunities to learn skills to advocate for positive changes about issues they care about.
Communication expert Colin Ryan is on a mission to connect important messages to the audiences who need to hear them. Drawing on 10+ years experience as a professional speaker and comedian, Colin now trains students, educators and professionals in the skills of authenticity (telling stories, adding humor, strategic vulnerability, empathetic listening) that transform untrained experts into unforgettable ambassadors.
Colin will share how to connect, communicate, and foster change. Skills covered:
Sharing your “Why” Story (because why you personally care about what you’re saying is often your best argument);
How to be Respectfully Funny (and why humor is an important tool that strengthens your impact, undercuts over-earnestness, and makes your message memorable.)
Everyone who registers will be emailed a link to attend the event by Zoom.
