[BCN] Progressive author available to give talks at coops

[Hillary Rettig / The Lifelong Activist]

Hi Everyone,
 
As a long-time subscriber to the Bostoncoop list, I¹m writing both to let
people know about my new book, The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the
World Without Losing Your Way (Lantern Books, 2006), and also to offer to
give workshops at coops. Since part of my mission is to empower
progressives, I do the workshops for free ­ although an honorarium, if
available, is always appreciated - and only ask an opportunity to sell the
book afterwards. 
 
The Lifelong Activist is a guide to living a joyous and productive life that
includes a strong progressive mission, and its sections include Managing
Your Mission, Managing Your Time, Managing Your Fears (i.e., overcoming
procrastination and blocks to success), and Managing Your Relationships.
The book is particularly useful for those who are starting their careers,
undergoing career or life transitions, or experiencing burnout. A recent
review on the top liberal blog Daily Kos said of The Lifelong Activist, ³If
I had but one book to spend hard-earned cash on this year, [The Lifelong
Activist] would be it, hands down.²
 
The workshop I would give is Why Smart and Ambitious Activists Fail, and How
They Can Succeed ­ it covers the major topics in my book in about 3 hours.
I can compress the material down to less time, if need be ­ but 3 hours is
optimal.

Please contact me at lifelongactivist at yahoo.com if you are interested in
hosting a workshop at your coop, or would like more information.  Also, if
you are affiliated with a non-coop progressive group or organization that
might like to have me speak, please let me know about that, too.
  
Thank you,

PS - I hope no one is offended by the semi-commercial nature of this
posting, and apologize if anyone is.
