Design an outreach plan that motivates people to take action for the planet.
LET’S DO THIS!
Do any of these describe how you’re feeling right now?
» Your current outreach efforts aren’t producing the desired results, but you’re not sure how to pivot.
» Your messages are only reaching the same core audience, yet you need more people to get on board.
» Your campaign feels like it has stalled out and you’re not sure how to continue the momentum.
» You know more behavior change strategies are needed in the project, but aren’t sure where to start.
I get it.
We work hard to encourage better decisions for the environment. It’s frustrating when our messages don’t get through and don’t produce the desired results.
“Why are they still doing the things we’re telling them not to do?!?!”
I also know how overwhelming it is to sift through mounds of research, theories, case studies, and frameworks on behavior change to figure out what’s going to work best for your project.
Let’s turn your frustration into celebration.
This course is built for busy practitioners who are ready to make strategic shifts in how they engage with audiences so we can spark action, grow conservation movements, and see results.
It’s time to flip the script!
Introducing…the Making Moves online course
This 8-week, live course guides you through the exact steps to design an outreach plan that motivates action.
Through weekly lessons and worksheets, we clarify behavior goals and audiences, dive into the psychology behind why people will or won’t take action, and identify practical strategies for motivating change.
This course gives you:
» The most relevant theories and tactics from the fields of marketing & advertising, behavioral & social sciences, and conservation & environmental programs.
» Guidebook, worksheets & templates to apply concepts directly to your own behavior change projects.
» Feedback, ideas, and guidance on your project throughout the course.
» Access to the Making Moves community with ongoing events and networking opportunities with over 300 behavior change enthusiasts from across the globe.
By the end of this program, you’ll know how to:
1. Map and design the behavior change journey: paint a clear picture of what it takes to create change.
2. Prioritize target audiences: find your minimum viable audience for maximum impact.
3. Identify deterrents & motivators: using the force field analysis to determine what’s preventing action and which mix of motivators to leverage.
4. Convert motivators into compelling messages: using an advertising framework makes messages stronger and more focused on the ultimate goal.
5. Choose outreach methods that work best: getting your messages to the right audience at the right time and the right place.
This course will equip you with the skills, insights, and strategic agility you need to create powerful conservation movements!

As someone with a background in marine conservation and policy, this course helped me to take my science communication skills to the next level! The course was a massive value to our organization. Plus I now find myself connected to a network of individuals working to solve the same issues!

This course is invaluable! Brooke has an uncanny ability to distill years of wisdom and practice into bite sized pieces everyone can understand, along with the resources and support needed to apply the work effectively for years to come. It was one epiphany after another. Bravo, and thank you!!
Shawn Shafner

It was nice to spend time with people who are interested in this topic. As a communication freelancer, I often feel isolated while simultaneously expected to be an expert. Brooke’s enthusiasm and knowledge made this a welcoming place to learn and think through my most challenging problems.

‘Making Moves’ has helped me create more concise, clear calls to action. And I’m thinking more critically about how to flip passive messaging. After all, we want people to take action! The course has helped me create messages that are easily understood and easy to follow.
Ilana Federman
Friends of the Forest Preserves
The course has helped me see that we do not have to be mean or judgmental to those whose behaviors we wish to change. It’s the complete opposite.

Making moves is an incredible learning experience, from the materials, to the classes and all the social media information. You are part of a community, a movement, that supports your work.

Brooke’s course was incredibly engaging, useful, and fun! We didn’t just learn theories, she gave us actual tools and techniques that we applied to real-world challenges, building strategies as we went for spurring social movements in our own work.
