Secrets of Great Campaign Speeches
September 30 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Gerald Ford defeated Ronald Reagan, becoming the Republican nominee for president, 48 years ago. During the Republican National Convention and speaking in front of thousands in a Kansas City hall, Ford asked Reagan to speak. This was the second time Reagan lost the Republican nomination. But, that’s when it happened. Reagan delivered a speech turning a crowd of Ford supporters into Reagan supporters. In three minutes, the audience felt they made the wrong choice. In one of the most pivotal elections in American History, with charisma and charm, Jon Lukacher shares Reagan’s secrets. Lukacher examines what made the speech great and how candidates can use the same tactics today. Every political candidate running in 2024 needs to attend this important seminar.
