🧠 Lead With Your Strengths: Discover Your Activist Personality Type

Topic: Personal Development Training

Over the past few months, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions about grassroots activism:

• Why do so many movements lose steam?

• What makes some teams unstoppable while others fall apart?

• And how can I help more people succeed—not burn out—in the fight for freedom?

That soul-searching led me to create something I wish I had when I started Audit The Vote.

It’s called Lead With Your Strengths: A Personality-Based Guide for Grassroots Organizers—a tool designed to help you understand how you’re wired, where you thrive, and how to lead more effectively in your role. It's part quiz, part training guide, part survival kit.

Before I release the full guide, I want to give you a sneak peek by sharing the core of it all:
👉 Your activist personality type.
