    Poke a stick at a grizzly bear, dress up like a moose in hunting season... This is priceless.

    Last week I promised I'd share my favorite public messaging campaign to positively influence behavior. This one is guaranteed to put a smile on your dial. A while back, I was engaged by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC to research public messaging campaigns to determine key factors for success and to create helpful guidance. As part of the research, I came across this gem. The Dumb Ways to Die campaign breaks the mold using humor to influence behavior - promoting rail safety for Metro Rail in Melbourne. The quirky song and game went viral globally and reduced accidental rail deaths by more than 20%. If you haven't heard the song - check it out. It'll make your day: https://lnkd.in/gQfPQnYq In interviewing the Metro Trains Melbourne team and folk from the creative agency, I was most impressed with the courage it took for their team and their leadership to take a risk and try something different. Here's a quote from the case study in the guidance report from Chloe Alsop (formerly Metro Trains); "Have the courage to not think something ‘way out there’ is a bad idea. Too often you get the ‘Oh no, we couldn’t do that, we can’t have a song about safety, we can’t put the word die in it, no you’re making fun of it, safety is too serious for a cartoon.’ The negatives start and people shut ideas down. Ideas can come from anyone. You just don’t know where you’ll get the lead from and these ‘way out’ ideas can lead to crazy success.” Sometimes the greatest risk is sticking with the status quo and not giving something new a try, especially if the current approach is not connecting or giving the results you need. Find the guidance report (including this case study and a range of case studies on other great campaigns) here: https://lnkd.in/gy-V8ZzB #PublicMessagingCampaigns #CourageForSuccess #Inspiration

    At Hummingly we love supporting and developing leaders at all levels. The best leaders for these times will be defined by their ability to prepare themselves and their people to be able to adapt and do well in the face of whatever may come.

    Yesterday, I had the honor of delivering a guest lecture to the Master of Science in Disaster Resilience Leadership students at Tulane University. I was struck by their insightful questions and passion for transformation for communities impacted by disaster. Knowing that we have real challenge ahead, I left the lecture feeling incredibly optimistic given the quality of these future leaders. Thanks Mark Rogers for having me along. And due to the work of folks like Regardt “Reggie” Ferreira and Corey Eide, these students will start out their careers right from the outset with tools like the Doing Well and Cards for Calamity to sustain themselves and their work, to help keep burnout at bay and to empower communities after disaster. This is a quick video from one of the students Makala Felarise, LMSW. #disasterleadership #futureleaders #setforsuccess

If you want to address this for your team or organization, please reach out. We can absolutely help. https://hummingly.com Check the article out here: https://lnkd.in/g4MXKPXX #preventingburnout #addressingfatigue #wellbeingthatworks #emergencymanagement
