Lasting influence requires more than passion—it requires credibility, respect, and the ability to engage others thoughtfully. In this session, participants will learn how to navigate policy disagreements with civility, apply persuasive techniques that build trust, and respond to objections in a constructive way. The class will also highlight the value of working across party lines, maintaining faith in the legislative process, and developing the maturity needed for long-term effectiveness in advocacy.
