Item Description

Held around the country, The OpEd Project's Write To Change the World Program empowers women to express their opinions and knowledge in person or in print, online and TV. The winning bidder can attend any of the sessions held through the end of 2015.

This highly interactive day-long seminar will challenge you to think more carefully and more expansively about your knowledge and experience, and why it matters. We will explore the source of credibility; the patterns and elements of powerful evidence-based argument; the difference between being right and being effective; how to preach beyond the choir; and how to think bigger so that we can have greater influence and value in the world.  You will emerge with a powerful argument for an idea or cause you believe in, and a network of high-level mentors. This seminar is about empowering you to find your voice and make a case for the ideas and causes you believe in, whether in print, online, on TV, before your board of directors, to potential funders or investors, or on the steps of congress. And it is about the collective difference we can all make by doing so.

All participants will have one year of ongoing access to our national network of high-level Mentor-Editors.

The OpEd Project's mission is to increase the range of voices and quality of ideas heard in the world. A starting goal is to increase the number of women thought leaders in key commentary forums to a tipping point. They envision a world where the best ideas - regardless of where they come from - will have a chance to be heard, and to shape society and the world.

Item Special Note

Seminar must be taken by end of 2015.
