Workshops & Webinars

Are you new to the Lab, or maybe looking for a refresher? Looking to utilize the Lab more effectively to achieve greater impacts in your climate advocacy work? Join us for a hands-on webinar where you'll learn how to work smarter – not (just) harder – through the Climate Advocacy Lab!

Have you had concerns about a team project and didn’t share it with others? Or been part of a team where you couldn’t speak up with questions? These self-protective behaviors help us manage others’ perceptions of us. No one wants to look ignorant, incompetent, intrusive or negative. Staying quiet and hoping someone else says something is an effective strategy to avoid shame and blame. But withholding your voice can have significant negative consequences for the team. It deprives the team of the full range of the team members’ knowledge, skill, and experience and makes it less likely that the team will learn and achieve its purpose.
Fortunately, empirical research has identified a set of behaviors that increase psychological safety—a shared belief that a team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking—and make it more likely that people will contribute. Join this 90-minute interactive workshop, guest hosted by PowerLabs, to learn the actions you can take to increase psychological safety in your teams. This isn't a passive webinar. Please join the call ready to participate in small group discussions.

Relational organizing is a crucial aspect of building strong coalitions and sustained community power. On Thursday, September 29th, the Climate Advocacy Lab is hosting the third session in our Northeast regional training arc, Power of Relational Organizing. This hour-long training will focus on how to relationally organize to build transformative relationships, transactional organizing mistakes to avoid, relational organizing do’s and don’ts, and best practices for 1:1’s and building long-standing community.
