The entire curriculum provided is designed from an applied approach. The goal of ALL training presented is to develop in students a working knowledge of parliamentary procedure allowing them to immediately work in sessions governed by RRO. None are designed as exhaustive or scholarly theory on the rules. We don't even waste time talking about poor Robert who drafted the original set of rules or even when they were drafted.
Courses are intended to build up the student's working knowledge of RRO increasing their abilities to properly perform in session. Certain topics even skip ahead to teach meeting survival and wins from the very first BASIC RRO course in order to have you ready right out of the gate! They create a performance based learning curve rather than a strict step by step up increase in knowledge between course levels! This is about the application not studying and studying...
Designed for ANY setting where you need to know the rules for a meeting or congress not specifically political in nature. Useful for HOA meetings, board meetings, church meetings, committees and clubs.

Like the general RRO Basic, it covers all the basic minimum needs of a member of an organization to function in a meeting but has additions specifically for use in political organizations (nonpartisan groups, partisan clubs or party government).

This course goes more into detail of the agenda explained in the Basic course. Full details of standard meeting "Orders" are covered. Then, the course delves into the complexities of making motions, debating and passing them. It unravels what looks complicated in a meeting and teaches the student how to follow the process and control it!
It teaches the student how to graph the motions for an Order of Business and then use that framework to achieve THEIR goals in the meeting whether that is passing something or blocking something undesired. Covers any meeting type political or just business.
This advanced level training is designed to give more detailed training in the specific Rules that govern not just basic business in meetings but conventions, elections, and committees.
It gives an operational knowledge of rules that are the guardrails of fair play but still can be used to prevent individuals or minorities from causing problems or crying foul as well as a runaway majority with good intentions.
It is useful for leadership in executive committee meetings, convention motion makers and rules enforcers, committee chairs and more. Disciplinary processes and guidelines are discussed. Abuse of the office of the chair is dissected and the remedies for it are provided in detail. Therefore, this class is not just about managing meetings, it is about controlling them even if the chair refuses to do so.
The course is designed to walk chairs through the process of conducting a meeting. Live sessions, contain mock sessions simulating most common situations and processes in a meeting (INCLUDING unruly members, shocking or sudden actions or motions). Not only created to teach students the ropes, it is crafted to make them comfortable with the process by taking out the mystery and pageantry. From teaching the minimum items needed for chairing the meeting to room preparation and logistics, this is a must have course for those already seated as chairs, those wishing to be a chairman and even those who chair subcommittees.
Students are encouraged to specifically ask the questions about procedures and style unique to their area or org. Each live session will actually be slightly different based on the students enrolled and their unique situations, organizations and meetings to be moderated.
Unlike the other courses, this is a course in theory. It is a master class in battle tactics and strategy based on decades of personal experience in hostile meetings of all types.
It is designed to give you a strategic advantage by teaching you asymmetric warfare for winning issues and meetings. It is tailored to the MINORITY leadership to help them work with less than a majority. Specifically intended for party reformers and conservatives to use to take back their party government and end corruption in the process, it does not rely on having a strong vote when you need it.
Nearly every dirty trick and sneaky tactic the author has witnessed in decades of hostile meetings is exposed, explained and countered! The author even includes PSYOP strategies of his own that he has employed to out maneuver and confound his opponents. Why RULES OF COMBAT?
Because POLITICS IS WAR! This is a must for leadership!
THIS IS A REFERRAL/VETTED PERSON ONLY Course!

Personal coaching or individual student classes are available but costly. They are billed by the hour. Participation in live sessions is recommended over one-on-one learning.
We offer meeting/convention preparation for an important meeting or convention for you or your team. It is billed by the hour and covers the development of a plan to try and achieve your goals and coordination of actions in the meeting as well as team member training. This can be costly but can have a measurable impact on winning through the custom development of a plan ahead of the meeting. No guarantee of outcome is made by us to you as you must implement the plan and we cannot control the meeting or your team members or the moderator to insure success. We can simply help you draft a plan and prepare you to implement it with the manpower you have.
