The Advocacy Algorithm
6 Weeks, 30 Lessons
The specialized knowledge provided in this in-depth course is what all successful NGO diplomats and advocates rely on in their outreach at the UN.
Don’t “stumble across” this information five years down the road. You know the UN is a constantly changing environment that works according to certain rules—spoken and unspoken. Get the basics down fast so you can get on with the REAL work you came here to do: Changing conversations and impacting global policy.
But you can’t accomplish that without learning the basics just like you can’t drive a Tesla down 5th Avenue without first learning the rules of the road and what to expect around you. The accelerator and brakes are the simple part!

"In my years of seeing Karen in action, I have admired her for her clarity of thought and insights into how NGOs can work in and around the UN.
