Many people do have no  time/interest to read and read. A video are more attractive than words, at least, for those who sit in front of their laptops at a coffee shop or at home after a long day of working/studying.

There is an interesting post today on A VC about the evolution of blogging. I concur with the author
when he states that he hates the term ‘Blogging 2.0′, but for lack of a
better term I’ll roll with it.

In his tactical notebook, Powerful Persuasion: Combating traditional practices that violate human rights, Emile Short describes a campaign that allowed many thousands of women and girls escape religious bondage. This being NewTactics, and a blog aimed at finding methods behind effective change, I latched on a few  techniques used in this campaign to engage allies and opponents alike in the successful challenge of an unjust practice.

Here are 8 potent persuasion tactics. I believe their use to be of almost universal value. See if you can apply these to your current work.

Blog: From Motivation to Solution: A Strategy Tool

Motivation to solutionHow do you eradicate an age-old abusive practice so entrenched it has become woven into a people's identity?

What if the practice serves to assuage powerful, visceral fears? What if the practice also meets some real needs, such as for food, housework and sex?

Pretending for a minute you could even end the practice, how would you then prevent it from raising its ugly head again?

One of the leading promoters of human rights in Africa, Emile Francis Short must also be a master of strategy. In his tactical notebook entitled Powerful Persuasion: Combating traditional practices that violate human rights, you can study the 10-year campaign he led in Ghana to free thousands of women and girls from religious enslavement.

It is a riveting story. I am especially grateful to Mr. Short for letting us in on the sophisticated design of his highly successful campaign. Somewhere in there, I got a glimpse of a powerful strategizing tool that could be more widely used. I'll call it the Motivation to Solution Strategy Tool.

Blog: When stuck, shift tactics

I am hopeful as I see monks in crimson robes take the lead in the streets, civilians form human chains to protect them, key footage escape the country through cell phone cameras, religious services withdrawn from the military.

The power of creative actions! Tactical innovation lies at the heart of the new momentum. Audacity gives new impetus, helps a movement come unstuck.

Blog: Reduce repression with self-accreditation

cc AnosmiaColumbus Igboanusi did not come to Slovakia from his native Nigeria to set up an antiracist human rights organization. “I didn't understand racism then. I hadn't experienced it in my country,” he says. That changed the day he was assaulted and badly beaten by racist skinheads.

After hearing his experience was not unique among other African students, he formed an organization of African students against racism. That's when another reality hit him.
