Social norms matter! @betsylevyp at #BX2019 (Thread)
Social norm perception:
Perceptions of what is typical or (increasingly) desirable in your community. #BX2019
Classic Cialdini study:

Who has a say in setting social norms?

Often it’s the public behaviour of group members.

Importantly, we pay attention to some people’s public behaviour more than others.

Social referents: The people we refer to when trying to understand how to behave.

Norm intervention example (Roots):
Identify the most influential students within schools.
Get the students to choose what problems they wanted solve.
+ Attach student makes to messages
+ Socially visible material (wrist bands)

Results:

Key take out:
When it comes to social norms, community members really have a say, especially those who attract the most attention.

Important question: What are the priorities of these highly influential social referents? #BX2019

The lessons I have learnt marketing an independent cohort-based online course.

Thread 👇
LESSON 1: START CLOSE TO HOME

Leverage your personal network to get the ball rolling. Then gradually move to your professional network.

Don't aim for the ideal target market if they aren't close by. Feedback and support in getting the course off the ground is key NB initially.
LESSON 2: ARTICULATE THE PROBLEM

Clearly communicate the problem you are trying to help solve.

I spent too much time talking about solutions initially, implicitly assuming the problem was clear.

Spell it out. Understand what language resonates. How people connect with it.

The lessons learnt building, marketing and running an independent cohort-based online course.

Thread 👇
Some context:

I began 2020 with the ambition to build a new kind of development programme.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAMME:

To provide people with a framework, toolkit and group platform for building behaviourally-informed systems to solve the recurring self-control challenges.
My initial strategy was to start offline with a small local cohort, gather feedback, iterate and then slowly move online.

COVID added a plot twist to that story.

The game changed and I had to learn and adapt quickly.

The lessons I have learnt building an independent cohort-based online course.

LESSON 1: GET YOUR COURSE STACK RIGHT

There isn't a platform that meets all my needs as a cohort-based online course creator.

I've looked.. hard. Believe me.

So I use a combination of:

@NotionHQ
@SubstackInc
@PayPal
@YouTube
@zoom_us
@CircleApp
@NotionHQ sits at the core of my course structure.

It's probably the most helpful tool into my stack, yet I see hardly any other course creators using it.

Here's what I find useful:

• Content duplication
• Media agnosticism
• Content customisation
• High-precision feedback

So happy @ShaneAParrish got @LFeldmanBarrett on his podcast. What a treat!

They explore Lisa’s incredible work on emotions, the predictive brain hypothesis, body budgeting, and the importance of focusing on our physical, mental and social health activities.

Big day for the field of Applied BeSci yesterday, with the launch of @gaabsorg 🚀

Curious what other researchers and practitioners think about it.

Some questions worth exploring 👇
What roles do you expect an Applied BeSci industry body to play? And roles should it not play?
How feasible is it to set standards and regulate a field like Applied BeSci? What would regulation look like?
