Behavior Based Strategies (BBSC) 3 Part Workshop

Do you regularly whisper under your breath, “Why are we like this?”, after watching someone toss a water bottle into the landfill bin, completely ignore the clear signage, or walk past the compost to dump all their food into the trash? If so, this workshop is for you.

Together, we’ll explore how social science can strengthen your work by unpacking baffling human behaviors and what drives everyday decisions (hint: it’s probably not that dry informational poster telling people what to do.)

We’ll be led by Gretchen Engbring (Behavioral Scientist, Stanford) to translate science-backed insights into practical, low-lift strategies you can apply right away and help preserve the hair on your head that you haven’t pulled out yet…oh, and maybe help save the planet too.

Expect a lively, interactive session with real-world examples, hot takes, a little bit of venting, a lot of hands-on exercises, and the opportunity to win a prize! As a bonus, you can expect to walk away with some concrete, context-specific next steps that you can actually try to help motivate people to reduce waste and sort properly. (Prize: a 30-min consultation with Gretchen!)

Sign up for the interactive three-part workshop series. Come with a behavior change in mind and ready to roll up your sleeves to put theory into practice.

Time: 9:30-10:30am workshop; 10:30-11am optional discussion

Dates: June 17, July 15, and August 19

**Each workshop will build off the previous, so attendees are encouraged to attend all three (though not required). Sessions will be recorded.
