I found this learning to be be a useful tool as I ramped up and ultimately launched a successful campaign for city council. It is an easy to follow guide with insightful tips for all phases of the campaign.

M. P. D.

Member of Local Political Organization
     
I was looking for training tools to help potential candidates decide whether running for office was right for them. Empowered to Lead covers all the essentials and does it exceptionally well. The worksheets were especially helpful for teaching our group practical skills and setting clear priorities.

Y. O.

Considering a run for local office
     
My rating?  5 *s.  The entire course was exquisitely detailed.  No topic was off-limits. There were SO many great talking points on issues which could possibly bring down your candidacy. Dealing with said issues (finances, health, family issues, education, handling negativity). All the info here is so supportive.

Considering a run for local office
     
If you’re thinking about running for office (especially as a woman), this course is a game-changer. Whether it’s for Congress or your local HOA board, Empowered to Lead gives you the full picture of what it really takes to campaign and lead. It’s honest, practical, and full of things most candidates don’t even know to expect. You’ll learn how to handle challenges before they happen and what to do if they do. It’s more than just campaign training. It’s about building confidence, purpose, and real leadership skills.
