What’s your Six-Word REason?
We use the Six-Word Reason exercise to jump-start our workshops and focus advocates on their personal reasons for advocating for a cause or organization. The exercise goes like this:
Imagine someone asks you, “Why are you an advocate for this cause or organization?”
How would you answer them—in just six words? Not five words, not seven. Six.
Stay focused on your personal reason and use your six words any way you’d like. It may be a complete sentence, it may be two three-word phrases. No one’s grading on punctuation! Give yourself time and generate as many as you can—and submit them here if you’d like.
