Yes, we are recording

So true about the the transformational aspect!Relational organizing even in a pandemic works because sustaining/building relationships is more sustainable.

I love your example of just 4 people because it helps us know that our outreach is very successful if we recruit even 4 sincerely engaged future leaders as opposed to being sad that we didn’t get 30 people in a room…25 of whole may not stick around

Yes, smaller examples are better

Thanks Ed and Alice! Great to chat with you both!

Thanks Mary and Daria!

Lovely seeing you again Melissa

Really great discussion with Betsy and Kathy - thank you for your stories!

Nice chatting with you Alan, Ellen, and Claire

We talked about giving new people a tangible action - i.e. getting them into a meeting with their congressperson ASAP to lite the fire and coaching group members to coach/mentor future members

From Gail Dolson- transformation can occur when thinking and acting “outside the box”-

I liked Joseph and Doreen’s phrase: “deeper and deeper” - gradually increasing your engagement with a sequence of experiences

Like Kathy said - it's someone else identifying a skill you possess that you didn't realize actually was a skill!

Group 2: Be willing to support the person who has said "not sure" even if they don't end up doing things our way.

Like Alice shared in our group, inspire others by taking action and leading by example. This will help relate one to another and share emotions.

we need you!

“You’ll be great!”

We know you can do it! you'd be great. And we'll support you.

"you're already doing it!" (maybe without realising)

love that one melissa

I’m so thankful for the expanded reach out team, and wondering what people are doing now that we can’t meet face to face

Really great points here

Somebody named Ken told me at my first RESULTS conference “We need writers like you” when I’d only had one letter to the editor ever published and I thought “Wow@ I’m a writer??”

Never go away.... but kindly.

++ We talked about how useful persistence is.

Coaching the newer group members, but really letting them create their own projects and taking direction from them when they need our support

Trust others and tell them you trust them

Help people see the difference they’ll make by taking part in this new experience

I plan to recruit some others for this very targeted, concrete, impactful work.

Inspiring current volunteers by providing resources so they can hone their own skills

how good it will feel when you take an action and I’ll be there to hold your hand

Oh that's a good one Kem! I tell people that they can use these skills for any issues they want to take on in addition to ours.

Always remember to take time to celebrate every single step/action (done by you and by others). All actions (even if they appear to be so small) matter and should be recognized and celebrated.

Yes, Melissa

Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate!!!

Great session Ken, thank you!

Thank you, Ken!

Thanks everyone!
