I'm talking about the know-it-alls in your life. You know who they are. It's those arrogant jerks who are so convinced they have the answer to everything that nothing you say will matter because in their eyes, the very thought of you proving them wrong about anything is so astonishing as to be redamnculous!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Well, fear no more. I give you the Sun Tzu Art of Mental Manhandling. Or, Joe's Starter Guide to Making Those Egos Cry Uncle.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Intelligent debate is good for the mind. It's the kind of skill that can make for well-informed decisions about what you believe, what you buy, and who you will vote for. You don't have to be a politician, lawyer, or former member of your school's debate squad to exercise your analytical muscles, and almost anything under the sun is fair game for opposing views, from serious discussions about school choice to less important questions like whether Ranch really is better than blue cheese. The real point here is not the argument, because just about any argument can be dressed up to sound persuasive. The real lesson is choosing the right analytical process to see the argument through its logical conclusion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Listen, with only an hour, I won’t have enough time to forge you into the next Abraham Lincoln, or Stephen Douglas depending on your political stripe. I can, however, use 60 minutes to teach you concrete ways to learn a few well-chosen fundamentals about persuasion, not lame platitudes about how you can do anything you want if you really believe. You’ll walk out of my session with the ability to use these persuasive skills to learn how to negotiate your monthly bills. Why monthly bills? Because if you can’t even negotiate how much you pay for the Internet rates you want, you’ll never be able to effectively advocate for the reasonable accommodations you need!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And who’s fault will that be? Yours! For not attending my workshop at the state convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What makes me qualified?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been competing in mock trials since middle school. In college I switched to debate and had the benefit of learning from some of the best coaches on a national circuit. Now that I don’t have controlled intellectual sparring opportunities, I go out on social media and pick fights with the smartest liberals I can find, because if I’m going to lose, and believe me, that’s rare, but if I’m going to lose, I’m going to learn from the best so I can learn whole new creative ways to bring down my opponents.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In other words, who better to teach you about persuasion than one of the most arrogant donkeys you know? I debate to win, and I can take the most quietest church mouse and turn them into a wholesome powerhouse. I demand the best, and even though that makes some people squeamish, I guarantee you will love it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think highly of myself, don’t I? Of course, because it’s all about attitude, and the warmup exercise is going to tease out yours. With only an hour, we’re going to go 0 to 60 at go.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>From one of the co-creators of the Chapter Leadership Institute comes the debate workshop you don’t want to miss, and you won’t miss it if you’re parked in your seat 10 minutes before 2 PM on Saturday, November 4 in Room 18 at the upcoming state convention. Don’t expect it to be recorded. If you want in on this party palace, you’ll show up in person.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Come on in if you’ve got what it takes. And even if you don’t have what it takes. In my ring, everyone is a winner, and you better be dang sure you will earn it. We’re going to have so much fun. I am beside myself with excitement to see you!!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>Joe Orozco: Your Message, My Mission<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'>https://joeorozco.com/services/<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
