An idea is like a play. It needs a good producer and a good promoter even if it is a masterpiece. Otherwise the play may never open; or it may open but, for a lack of an audience, close after a week. Similarly, an idea will not move from the fringes to the mainstream simply because it is good; it must be skillfully marketed before it will actually shift people's perceptions and behavior.
David Bornstein (How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas)
Simpson Rowe was quick to say that only perpetrators are responsible for assault, but assertiveness and self-advocacy are crucial defensive skills.
Peggy Orenstein (Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape)
When it comes to peace, we need to facilitate peace-makers' personal engagement and their genuine desire to bridge the gap between advocacy knowledge and skills necessary to differentiate between theory and practice in the field of conflict management.

I won't say that writing tamed the Black Beast. It soothed him, though, enough so he agreed simply to occupy a corner of my mind...Gradually, I redirected my focus and skills towards causes much closer to my own heart: writing and mental health advocacy. [...] I felt so good at times that I even wondered, was I still bipolar? In my community work, I saw so many people who were much worse off than I was - deep in their disease in a way I no longer seemed to be. I knew that this often happens to manic-depressives: the brain forgets the ravages of the illness they way a woman forgets the pains of childbirth. You have to, to survive. But it's always a dangerous place to be, because you inevitably start to question the need for medication, therapy, and all the other rigorous stopgaps of sanity so carefully put into place to prevent another episode.
Terri Cheney (The Dark Side of Innocence: Growing Up Bipolar)
A great lawyer listens first, speaks second, and always thinks strategically." "Effective lawyering is less about winning arguments and more about crafting solutions that stand the test of justice." "The power of a lawyer lies in their ability to turn complexity into clarity." "A true lawyer is an advocate for the truth, not just for their client." "Lawyering is the art of persuasion, guided by reason and grounded in integrity." "A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows how to apply it wisely and ethically." "The essence of lawyering is not just in knowing the law, but in understanding people." "A lawyer's greatest skill is turning conflict into resolution with words that heal, not hurt." "Lawyering requires the courage to stand firm in principle and the flexibility to adapt in practice." "To be a lawyer is to be a guardian of justice, ensuring fairness prevails over power.

Individuals became successful in part because of their abilities to debate forcefully and influence others. Inquiry skills, meanwhile, go unrecognized and unrewarded. But as managers rise to senior positions, they confront issues more complex and diverse than their personal experience. Suddenly, they need to tap insights from other people. They need to learn. Now the manager’s advocacy skills become counterproductive; they can close us off from actually learning from one another. What is needed is blending advocacy and inquiry to promote collaborative learning.
Peter M. Senge (The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization)
More and more, providers are being held to higher (legal) standards of care without the appropriate support from their employers. That is, medics are being investigated and sanctioned at a more aggressive rate than ever before over smaller and smaller clinical infractions. To get with the times, agencies need to spend much more of their allotted training time on skills like 12 lead EKG application and interpretation, assessment algorithms, and intubation or advanced parenteral route access, for example. The list of available and important topics is as long and diverse as the national, state, and local scopes of practice. On the other hand, agencies that resist this reality cannot be surprised to discover that their care is generally substandard, for which there can be grave legal consequences. They can’t throw their bottles on the floor and cry because they don’t have them. I predict that any agency that emphasizes drilling on patient care as much as or even more than firefighting will very quickly see a dramatic shift in the culture from EMS apathy to EMS advocacy. That culture shift should be a welcome bonus; the key benefit being finally providing the superior care about which they already brag. Yes, there will be some resistance at first and that is great. Resistance is the surest way to quickly identify those who are not committed, because they will whine and complain the most and they will require the most work. If they are not willing to do the work, then maybe they don’t belong.
David Givot (Sirens, Lights, and Lawyers: The Law & Other Really Important Stuff EMS Providers Never Learned in School)
The activism and advocacy geared towards bringing greater visibility, influence and authority of women are not against men (somehow this perception thrives). The role of men can never be disqualified or diminished. We have to work with them – with patience and perseverance. We also have to raise feminist kids so that they could internalize the benefits of having strong and skilled women in society and family. The goal of gender equality, then, would not remain a distant dream for a vast majority of women including minority gender.

It’s not by story alone that successful advocates urge others to take action. Advocating with our personal stories takes a specific kind of preparation. It requires practice with elements of persuasion, public speaking, media interview skills and storytelling—not to mention healthy does of fortitude and commitment.
John Capecci and Timothy Cage
A college student who wants to file a complaint of sexual assault within the campus disciplinary system informs a university employee such as an assistant dean for student life, or perhaps the Title IX coordinator. That person eventually forwards the complaint to a university disciplinary panel that may be composed of, for example, an associate dean with a master's degree in English literature, a professor of chemistry, and a senior majoring in anthropology. Unlike criminal prosecutors, members of the disciplinary panels do not have access to subpoena powers or to crime labs. They often have no experience in fact-finding, arbitration, conflict resolution, or any other relevant skill set. There is, to put it mildly, little reason to expect such panels to have the experience, expertise, and resources necessary to adjudicate a contested claim of sexual assault. Making matters worse, most campus tribunals ban attorneys for the parties (even in an advisory capacity), rules of procedure and evidence are typically ad hoc, and no one can consult precedents because records of previous disputes are sealed due to privacy considerations. Campus "courts" therefore have an inherently kangoorish nature. Even trained police officers and prosecutors too often mishandle sexual assault cases, so it's not surprising that the amateurs running the show at universities tend to have a poor record. And indeed, some victims' advocacy groups, such as the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), oppose having the government further encourage the campus judicial system to primarily handle campus sexual assault claims, because that means not treating rape as a serious crime. A logical solution, if federal intervention is indeed necessary, would be for OCR [US Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights] to mandate that universities encourage students who complain of sexual assault to report the assault immediately to the police, and that universities develop procedures to cooperate with police investigations. Concerns about victims' well-being when prosecutors decline to pursue a case could also be adjudicated in a real court, as a student could seek a civil protective order against her alleged assailant. OCR could have mandated or encouraged universities to cooperate with those civil proceedings, which in some cases might warrant excluding an alleged assailant from campus.

Self-advocacy, or taking action for your own needs and wishes, is a way for your voice to be heard and to remind yourself that you matter.
Brenda Stephens (The Narcissism Recovery Workbook: Skills for Healing from Emotional Abuse (companion – The Narcissism Recovery Journal))
Pope says, “Engage your critics, and don’t confront them in an argumentative way.” We’re taught in school to debate. We’re taught to take a stand and use knowledge, skills, and cleverness to win converts and disable the other side. I remember in high school and university classes being asked to take a position out of a hat and then stand up and win the argument. I grew up good at winning, but looking back I see that I wasn’t getting opponents on the same page. I was shutting them up with powerful advocacy. I’ll bet you’ve seen the same thing from the outspoken in meetings and in conversation with your bosses. Getting people on the same page begins with getting rid of the need to always win the debate.
Jason Jennings (The Reinventors: How Extraordinary Companies Pursue Radical Continuous Change)
Structured advocacy is one of the key skills high-potential mangers must master, and it goes a long way in building a more confident presence.

Diplomacy, professional: Like war, diplomacy is too important a subject to be left to blundering amateurism. It marks the phase of policy prior to war; it makes and breaks military alliances; it ends war. There is much lore to it; it is a subtle calling. Diplomacy is too portentous to be entrusted to the politicians but it is too political to be left to the generals. Those who may be fatally affected by diplomacy's failure have every reason to demand that only its most skilled, professional practitioners represent their interests. Diplomacy, public: Advocacy openly directed at foreign publics in support of negotiations or broad policy positions and couched in terms intended to enlist their backing from a particular position or outcome. Distinguish Propaganda Diplomacy, purpose of: The purpose of diplomacy is not to outwit the opposing nation but to engage it in a web of common interests, thereby serving the interests of one's own nation. Diplomacy, rape: Diplomacy is political rape convincingly disguised as seduction. Diplomacy, with women: "Diplomacy lies in remembering to celebrate a woman's birthday while forgetting to note her age." — Proverb Diplomacy, revolutionary regimes and: "Diplomacy is one of the things which change least in the world, for it meets the great secular need of mankind, the need of peoples to make arrangements with each other, so that they can go about their several ways in peace ... It is therefore not surprising that revolutionary Governments, however drastically they break up the old régime of their country, either carry on the inherited diplomatic system or else return to it sooner or later." — R. B. Mowat, 1936
Chas W. Freeman Jr. (The Diplomat's Dictionary)
The combining of men and women in advocacy and shelter programs has opened the door to manipulation and intimidation by abusers, often under the guise of claiming to be the victim—a shrewd move that abusers tend to be skilled at.

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com Last month, I received a terrifying letter labeled “Urgent IRS Notice,” threatening penalties and legal action unless I paid a “back tax” of 12 Bitcoin (BTC)valued at nearly $800,000 via a Houston-based “Crypto Compliance Portal.” The letter mimicked IRS branding flawlessly, complete with official logos, case numbers, and citations of tax codes. However, my skepticism grew when I noticed the demand for cryptocurrency, a method the IRS explicitly avoids. Despite doubts, panic pushed me to transfer the BTC. Moments later, the portal vanished, leaving me in shock. Realizing I’d been scammed, I frantically searched for solutions and discovered DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY, a firm renowned for combating crypto fraud. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY became my anchor. Their team swiftly dissected the spoofed IRS letter and the fraudulent portal, pinpointing inconsistencies: grammatical errors, mismatched tax codes, and a Houston P.O. Box unaffiliated with the IRS. But their breakthrough came through blockchain forensics. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY traced my stolen BTC across a convoluted network of wallets, exposing a transnational scheme. The Houston portal, though masquerading as local, funneled funds through offshore mixers and shell exchanges. Crucially, the scammers made a fatal error: a portion of the BTC briefly passed through a U.S.-regulated exchange with weak identity checks. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY seized this vulnerability, collaborating with the FBI’s Cyber Division and IRS Criminal Investigation unit to freeze the assets under federal forfeiture laws. Their relentless advocacy ensured my case was prioritized, as they proved the criminals exploited U.S. financial systems. Within weeks, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY achieved the unthinkable: 100% of my BTC was recovered. They navigated legal complexities, coordinated with prosecutors, and even educated me on scam tactics. “Fraudsters weaponize fear to bypass logic,” a DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY investigator explained, emphasizing how urgency clouds judgment. Their insights transformed my understanding of red flags, such as threats of immediate arrest or demands for irreversible payments. Today, I owe my financial survival to DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY. Their technical prowess, legal partnerships, and unwavering support turned catastrophe into a cautionary triumph. While I hope others never endure such a crisis, my message is clear: If faced with crypto fraud, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY is the ally you need. Their name became my beacon of hope, proving that even in blockchain’s seemingly irreversible realm, skilled defenders can rewrite the narrative. Stay vigilant, verify relentlessly, and remember with DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY, recovery is possible.
