What is your advocacy style?Every advocate has a "style". This style will develop over time, based upon experience and personality. It might be a part of your personality to avoid face-to-face conflicts, or to give in on a point just to avoid ill feelings. Despite this, based upon your experience, you may come up with techniques by which you can still be an effective advocate. You may find that you can say what you need in the form of a letter, and this is your preferred approach to advocacy. There is no "ideal style". There are styles which are more effective in particular circumstances. With experience, you will find the techniques which complement your personality, and help you define your style, and your role as an advocate. |
