ABSTRACT

Training, coaching, and mentoring are three essential strategies for changing human behavior in the workplace. “The success of applied behavior analysis is completely dependent on modifying the behavior of mediators, such as staff, peers, and parents”. Nothing could be truer, and our success depends on a thorough, fluent knowledge of available training techniques. D. L. Kirkpatrick, who advocated evaluating the training once it has been delivered, also used our approach in instructional technology. The goal of coaching will be to improve an individual’s attitude, technical expertise, general effectiveness, or social interaction skills. The behavior is narrowly defined, has an impact on the clients, and is worrisome and bothersome to the supervisor. Behavior analysts will find that coaching is a natural way to solve problems with individual employees. Professional behavior analyst should be prepared to modify the environment if they need to add reinforcers that will maintain behaviors.
