Get Ready, Get Equipped to Fight Disinformation
I’m inviting you to a free webinar to do just this
We’re all feeling overwhelmed by the barrage of misinformation and concerning policies coming our way. You may be telling yourself to toughen up and be more resilient. But this is easier said than done. If you’re like me, you need a little help right now.
Resilience is stimulated by discomfort
It is important to note that your resilience is stimulated by responding to something that is upsetting, irritating, or harming you. However, how you react is determined by the tools you have available.
So yes, this is a time in our history when we can all be encouraged to gather more tools to address something most of us have little experience with: disinformation. I’m inviting you to a webinar to help you do just this.
