Session 2

Storytelling and motivation.

How do we motivate audiences to take real and meaningful action on climate change? And how do values, motivation types and storytelling all relate to each other? And how can their combined use lead to long-term behavioural change? In this training we will be exploring the mechanics of storytelling for a cause, a technique to motivate and inspire audiences towards living out of their higher values.

New motivational theory

Standard motivational models tend to conflate the different stages of intrinsic motivation (self-regulation) into a single category or to view intrinsic motivation only in terms of utility (i.e. improved outputs). 

The result is that our current motivational models are no longer fit for purpose in terms of working with higher values, or how to create long-term behavioural change. 

Creating a new and expanded model, utilising insights from neuro-psychology, offers some profound insights on how to create meaningful change on the issues we care about.
