This seven-week online course provides practitioners with the critical skills and tools needed to design a communication & outreach plan that motivates people to take action.

Through weekly lessons and worksheets, we’ll clarify behavior change goals and audiences, dive into the psychology behind why people will or won’t take action, and identify practical & creative strategies for motivating change.

This course is for you, if…

» You’ve ever felt frustrated that your current outreach efforts weren’t producing the desired results: “they’re still doing the things we’re telling them not to do!!!”

» You’re trying to inspire new behaviors in your community or get people to take action for a cause, but aren’t sure where to start.

» You’ve felt like your messages were only reaching the “already converted” and you need more people to get on board.

» You’ve made great progress but need to keep the momentum going and aren’t sure how to reach the next level.

» You’re interested in building your own capacity as a behavior change communicator.

If any part of your work is asking people to get more engaged in conservation, sustainability or environment related activities and behaviors, then this course will equip you with the skills, insights and process you need to create powerful conservation movements.

Team and group rates are available!

If multiple members of your organization are interested in joining the course, then a team or group rate may be a good option for you. Reach out to me directly to arrange.

Team rates: structured so a team works collectively on a single set of worksheets throughout the course with one member serving as the team “lead”.

  • Each member receives the course emails, individual log-ins for the lessons (so they don’t have to watch them in the same place at the same time) and invitations to the private cohort Facebook page.
  • Only the team lead is eligible to receive the certificate of completion for the coursework.
  • Price for the team rate is $635 for the team lead plus $150 for each additional team member.

Group rates: a packaged discount for multiple participants coming from the same organization.

  • Each participant in the group rate can submit individual worksheets.
  • Everyone who completes the coursework is eligible for the certificate of completion.
  • Groups rates are as follows: groups of 4-9 members receive 15% off the standard rate; 10-14 members receive 20% off; 15-20 members receive 25% off.

 

*Team and group rates can only be applied to the standard rate of the course.

Meet the trainer

I’ve been training non-profit organizations and local governments to use behavior change marketing in their conservation programs for over 10 years. Trainees have come from all over the world and have successfully applied these approaches to complex environmental challenges.

I’m passionate about the need to apply behavioral insights and effective communication strategies towards our shared goal of protecting this planet. And I’m excited to bring this live online workshop to you!

Awesome people I’ve worked for and with

Word on the street

Brooke has the theoretical and practical expertise to advise and train conservationists from diverse backgrounds and cultures. She is dynamic, and passionate about the work she does as well as the people she works with, and is an enormous pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Paul Butler

Brooke is an excellent trainer and highly capable facilitator who creates a positive, stimulating training atmosphere. Her experience in commercial marketing and behaviour change for conservation NGOs is clearly evident.

Brooke’s understanding of current science and business trends opened up new ways of thinking about what we have to market, who we should be marketing to, and how to reach them.

Brooke’s 3-day course had great balance between lecture, exercises, and group work. She is at home in front of the room and creates a space where participants are actively engaged.

Christina Imrich

This was one of the clearest, most direct webinars that I have attended. Brooke Tully did a fantastic job. Her slides were as easy to understand and follow as her talking points.

Kim Young

Brooke has a unique ability to think conceptually and strategically, but not in a way that is divorced from real-world reality.
