Talk Climate: Multipy Your Impact
Training Program
Learn how to convince individuals to support climate solutions and take action
Influencing others can be difficult
Convincing other people can feel frustrating and may lead to conflict. In the climate context, there are psychological reasons why it is even more difficult to generate support and lead people to take action.
The way that we talk about climate change can accidentally push people away, or can strategically bring people on board.
Align your conversations with research
By taking an approach that is aligned with the latest research on climate psychology and human behavior, we can be sure to avoid the common conversational techniques that backfire in the climate context.
The Talk Climate: Multiply Your Impact training program is designed to teach you conversational skills that are known to work in the tumultuous climate space.
Learn new skills and gain the confidence to use them.
This program will teach you a compassion-first approach that reduces pressure and increases long-term change in their mindset.
This program will not teach you about climate change, but you don’t need that to guide someone to consider climate action. During the training you will identify exactly which scientific details you need to incorporate into your approach.
In a small group of other people like you, you’ll practice the basic and advanced tools, and gain the skills you need to succeed in the real world.

“The program is helpful for novices as much as for professionals working in the climate field.”

Generally: anyone who wishes to convince others in one-on-one conversations in a calm, but effective way.

Do I need to know the science of climate change?
No, not at all! No background knowledge is necessary. Come as you are.
This program does not teach climate science. This program teaches you to be convincing, with or without knowledge of climate science.
During this program, you may decide to add some science into your approach, but you may be surprised to learn that this is not necessary for influencing others.
Ludovico
“This program helps you start conversations on climate change without annoying anyone or risk turning them away from taking fruitful actions to combat climate change.”
Can I learn this elsewhere?
No. This program was developed to transform very scattered approaches and information into a single practical training.
Here are the unique strengths of this program:
The incorporation of the latest research from leading experts in the diverse fields of climate psychology, persuasion, human behavior in the climate context, diplomacy, and leadership development.
A unique combination of techniques and tools, adapted to the unique context of the climate crisis.
A series of practical techniques that are easy to learn and implement.
Live discussions and time to practice in a safe environment with like-minded individuals.
Tools that help you go beyond simply talking about climate change, so that you become an influencer, scaling up and motivating climate action in those around you.
How many people will participate?
The program will take place with a maximum of 15 people.
Where will this take place?
All live sessions will be held online in live Zoom meetings, with discussion, paired role play and feedback. The bonus videos and other content can be found in our online course platform.
Will there be a recording?
The live sessions will not be recorded, however, all the session presentations will be pre-recorded and available to registered participants in the online course platform.
One of the core strengths of this training program is the opportunity to practice new skills with other participants during the live sessions.
In addition to these moments to practice, during the live sessions there is time for discussion, feedback and questions. None of these moments are recorded to protect the confidentiality of the participants.
These interactions help participants build their capacity to use the new skills and they solidify the learning.
We encourage your participation in every session.
