Intro: Getting Started
I explain why traditional communication approaches aren't working hard enough for us and why we need to flip the script.
Lesson #1: Define the Ask
Learn to create clear and specific calls to action that guide your audience toward a desired behavior. If people don't know what they can do, they won't do anything.
Lesson #2: Identify your Audience
Trying to reach every single person with the same message doesn't work. Here, we segment your audience into smaller, more realistic groups to reach.
Lesson #3: Barriers to Action
We can make a lot of assumptions about why people aren't taking action, but let's take a closer look at the main reasons people don't do things after we've asked them to.
Lesson #4: Diffusion of Innovation
The Diffusion of Innovation theory helps explain how new ideas and behaviors spread among a given community, which helps us determine if we're starting or growing a movement.
Lesson #5: Drivers of Change
This is the flip side of barriers to action. We'll explore different categories of motivators and how they can be embedded in our messages and outreach plans.
Lesson #6: Bring it all Together
In this final lesson, we bring everything together to develop a communication piece with a motivating message, a clear call-to-action, and compelling images.
