I remember the first time I used one of Julie Dirksen’s techniques with a client – it was like I waved a magic wand over the room, and suddenly – everybody “got it!.” Julie Dirksen has a unique way of making the complex simple and easy to implement.

My new behavior change workshop
Based on my new book, Talk to the Elephant: Design Learning for Behavior Change
What do you do when your learners know what to do but still aren’t doing it? Add to your design toolbox for difficult behavior change challenges. Learn to use research-based diagnostic tools to analyze and select interventions for difficult behavior change challenges.
“Last week I used your wonderful material to analyze the situation in one of the sites and the final product was AMAZING! We can now articulate the change we want to see, and we have the strategy to get there.”
– Isabel Montes, People Vice-president for Newmont
