Webinar Recording: The Myth of Apathy

One of the biggest challenges to environmental work is, surprisingly, often not the actual work but our ability to collaborate. Tune in to our Morning Coffee webinar to hear from Renee Lertzman, climate psychologist, environmental strategist, and creator of Project Inside Out. Renee has worked for years helping people move beyond the usual strategies of urging and cajoling people. Instead, she will share tips on finding common ground and ways to catalyze action where it seemed previously impossible.

Dr. Renée Lertzman is a researcher, advisor, and strategist who helps us use relational psychology to change our approach to the planetary crisis. Applying her graduate training as a psychosocial researcher, she designs frameworks and methods, grounded in public health, clinical psychology, and neuroscience, that guide people to take action and create impact on climate and sustainability issues. For twenty years, she’s partnered with leaders, founders, teams, start-ups, innovators, companies, and organizations across public and private sectors, looking to strengthen climate and sustainability initiatives. These collaborations work to harness the creativity and innovation needed to address our most complex and intractable problems. In 2018, she received grants from the KR Foundation and 11th Hour Project to launch a new initiative, Project InsideOut, to create tools and resources drawing on psychological insights to respond to planetary changes underlying the existential crisis we face. She can be found at reneelertzman.com and projectinsideout.net.

Following the launch of Funding Futures, our new training and grants program that will spark community conversations, we want to share Renee's approach with you.
