Bringing together insights from sociology, business coaching, education, social psychology (and yes, behavior analysis!), this presentation will inject new energy into your supervision of behavior technicians. You’ll hear practical and immediately applicable strategies to create psychological safety, feelings of connection, and a sense of belonging for your technicians. Learn why our technicians likely sense our presence as a threat and how to overcome that natural reaction. Delete the phrase “do you have any questions” and learn to engage technicians in a back and forth conversation that unlocks their curiosity and gets to the heart of what they need from you as a supervisor. Learn the value of shared vulnerability and why you should get comfortable with discomfort in front of your technicians. Create a supervisory relationship where technicians are truly safe to bring their full, honest, best selves to their sessions, ultimately benefitting the clients.
