High quality training built around your needs.
The Cutting Edge Campaigns training uses innovative methodologies to develop the ability of nonprofit campaigners to run effective campaigns. By using constantly evolving content in a tried-and-tested framework, I help professionals run campaigns that break through the noise to engage supporters, multiply their capacity, and effect real-world change.
A tried-and-tested framework
The Cutting Edge training originates in a framework developed over the course of six years by my old colleagues and dear friends at Campaign Accelerator who trained thousands of activists and professionals, from Catalonia to Estonia. I’ve developed the content further, harnessing my background as a social change researcher, and molding it with my own methodology.
Participant-centred training methodologies
Don’t pay for a training designed to deposit knowledge. Pay for a training designed to change behaviour. Through constantly evolving my methodology, drawing inspiration from worlds as diverse as psychology, education, and even bsuiness, my mission is to do exactly this. To develop campaigners’ behaviours so they can change the world.
“Sean was well prepared, enthusiastic and made the training interesting for the group. The feedback from the participants was positive and they went home inspired.”
