𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 is one of my absolute favourite parts of EVP and Employer Brand work ❤️ and I would argue is 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼. It can be tricky to get right though. It's not as straight forward as developing a nice strong creative to run a social campaign. There are way more variables to consider and some pretty common pitfalls to avoid along the way. If you would like some help planning for launching or extending your employee #advocacy programme, I can help. I'm supporting a few clients in this space right now. We've done some workshops together, I've built them some assets and tools and they are using me as a sounding board in coaching sessions. I'm finding they  just need a steer from someone who has done it before to help them get out of the starting blocks so they can test and learn as they go ✔️ If you'd like to chat about how I might be able to support your organisation on advocacy or more broadly across EVP or Employer Brand, just reach out 👇 ……………………………………………………….

In this regard, educators, parents, and legislators can be their spokespersons. They can affect changes to better policies, services, and programs for the gifted. In this webinar, the presenters will share strategies and tips for how to design successful advocacy messages and, then, to contribute to making a difference in the lives of gifted children around the world.

Unlocking Your Inner Advocate: Empowering All to Make a Difference Advocacy is not bound by age, background, or education—it’s about stepping up where you are, with what you have. Whether it’s lending a hand, offering a kind word, or simply asking, “Are you okay?”, anyone can be an advocate. Dr. Ebony Grey reminds us that advocacy starts from the heart. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to make a difference where you stand. The power of word-of-mouth and awareness can inspire others to take on this role as well. Together, we can support and uplift survivors by meeting them where they are and empowering them to take their next steps. 🌟 #UnlockYourAdvocate #Empowerment #SupportSurvivors #DrEbonyGrey #MakeADifference #AdvocacyForAll
