We are happy to host a special presentation for this get-together: The Persuasive Vegan!

When it comes to talking about potentially divisive issues, passionate people often fail to persuade. And whether they adopted a plant-based diet for health, environmental, or animal rights reasons, few people are as passionate as vegans. We walk our talk, but our talk doesn’t always persuade others to walk the path with us. So, what purpose does our communication serve if we are right but not effective?

During this brief presentation, Cristen Iris will share what she’s learned about persuasion from her study of anthropology; work as a professional book editor and author manager; and experience as an entrepreneur, speaker, and whole-food, plant-based vegan and help participants identify their unspoken motivations and the motivations of others and their insecurities and strengths and those of others. She’ll also help attendees develop the strategic mindset and unflinching objectivity required to persuade.

Cristen’s clients include a New York Times bestseller, a GRAMMY Award winner, LGBTQ and disability advocates and activists, athletes, medical professionals, and legal experts. She works with atheists and people of faith; democrats, independents, and republicans; introverts and extroverts and has learned that no matter who she’s talking to there is always common ground and a clear channel of communication to be found.

This is a FREE event.
