11:06:41 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Highly recommended you sign up for Working Circle topics in which you know as little as possible or nothing about the subject matter.  That way, you'll be forced to rely on the tools we're teaching you.

11:14:31 From  Joe W.  to  Everyone:
	Something went wrong with covid message: starts with T and ends with p.
11:17:00 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Nicholas Kristof’s Advice for Saving the World:  https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/nicholas-kristofs-advice-saving-world/
11:18:52 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Compassion Fade: Affect and Charity Are Greatest for a Single Child in Need – The research article that “Advice for Saving the World” references:  https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0100115
11:23:10 From  Julie Claussen  to  Everyone:
	The Dobzhansky Template is really useful - the more you use it, the deeper meaning it has for keeping your message on track.
11:25:58 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Here's the Dave Gold article where he uses the Christmas Tree metaphor when defining a narrative:  https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/data-driven-campaigns-democrats-need-message-214759/
11:29:08 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I'll have these links posted up on the resource page after class.

	The ABT Blue Card:  http://storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ABT_3_steps.pdf
11:31:43 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Ultimate goal:  manage this species properly
	Proximate goal:  develop new stock assessment model
11:31:54 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	compensate for data limitation
11:32:07 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Remember, when Randy asks you "What is this a story of?"  he's asking you what your Proximate Goal is.
11:32:50 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The Ultimate Goal is the big picture thing you're trying to accomplish.  The Proximate Goal is the specific, concrete action that you're attempting to do in order to achieve the Ultimate Goal.
11:33:35 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I recommend everyone figure out your Proximate Goals ahead of time so you won't be surprised when Randy asks you "What is this a story of?" because he WILL as you that question!
11:34:25 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Head to optional exercise 1 on the Resource Page to help you find your Proximate Goal:  http://abtframework.com/abt-framework-student-resource-page-round-30-climate-ambassadors-program/#lesson_1
11:35:12 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Highly recommend you read this excerpt from "Houston, We Have a Narrative" on the 3 Forms of the ABT and get familiar with the cABT:  http://www.storycirclestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/THE-3-FORMS-OF-THE-ABT.pdf
11:35:30 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	cABT = Conversational ABT
11:37:06 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	We have a way of doing something but it's not accurate therefore we need to fix it.
11:37:08 From  Julie Claussen  to  Everyone:
	There is this thing we manage, but we don’t have the right info, therefore we need to get the right info.
11:38:01 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The cABT is important because it gives you the barebones skeletal structure of your story.  Once you have the skeleton, you can start adding in details to build it up to a full story.
11:38:37 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	If you ever get confused during a Working Circle about what the core narrative is, have everyone attempt a cABT and see if you strike gold.
11:39:02 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	It also can tell you what your but statement should lead with...
11:41:05 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Absolutely Mike, good point!  Never thought of it quite like that, but you're right.
11:43:32 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	But says what is not happening, what you're not doing. The because says why that's the case.
11:45:15 From  Albertha  to  Everyone:
	A story of understudied species?
11:45:43 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I think you basically got it Albertha!
11:47:19 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	How effective is fear-based messaging? Or is it effective by degrees?
11:47:46 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Good question Autumn - if we have time for a Q&A today, I'll have you ask Randy.
11:49:21 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Autumn - as you can see here, the "fear" just comes from being honest about what we'll miss out on IF we don't act.
11:50:09 From  Danielle Haulsee (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	As we go through this process observing others, should we be updating our own draft ABTs? I thought I saw somewhere that we should write it the first time and not touch it.
11:51:01 From  Julie Claussen  to  Everyone:
	Balancing water needs…
11:51:05 From  Christina Morrisett  to  Everyone:
	changing human priorities
11:51:44 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	I wondered how far you can push fear-based messaging before it's no longer effective because people go into ostrich mode. And how long do you have to bring them back from the "Too big for me, can't do it, so won't try" with actionable solutions
11:51:46 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	For the in class ABT Builds, we will ONLY use your original draft that you submitted because the in class Builds are more for the benefit of everyone to learn than for you to get a perfect ABT.
11:52:05 From  Danielle Haulsee (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	👍
11:52:06 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	BUT for your Working Circles, you're allowed to use a rewritten ABT that you've revised over and over and over again.
11:53:01 From  Julie Claussen  to  Everyone:
	@Autumn good thoughts to dig into!
11:53:13 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The Working Circles are where the real work is done, but I warn you that no matter how much you revise your ABT, your group will still rip it apart!
11:53:19 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	the challenge of overcoming "existential apathy"
11:55:50 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	We might have time for a Q&A today.  Any more questions for Randy?  Post them here in chat or hit the Raise Hand button and I'll call on you.  (Autumn, you'll be up first.)
11:56:31 From  Christina Morrisett  to  Everyone:
	I'm not following the differences in concise and compelling for informational and conversational ABTs. Can we review that again?
11:56:40 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Note that the cABT focuses on the clear, singular problem.
11:57:48 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Yeah, all your ornament problems need to tie in to your main Christmas Tree problem.
11:58:33 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Don't start with a collection of ornaments. Start with the core structure...then people will understand how the ornaments fit.
12:00:29 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Christina - I think you'll have to save your question for next time!
12:00:41 From  Christina Morrisett  to  Everyone:
	*thumbs up*
12:00:52 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	If you instill the fear in the but then it falls to you to clearly state the path out of that in the Therefore... So you create fear and then tell me there is a solution. If you just create the fear without a way out, then it produces hopelessness. Create fear, introduce hope.

12:01:46 From  Autumn (she/her)  to  Everyone:
