Summary

Dr. Nic Weatherly of the Florida Institute of Technology joins me in Session 61 to explore a few areas of Organizational Behavior Management, namely coaching staff members in public school settings, whether Board Certification is necessary for OBM practitioners, as well as the ethical considerations of OBM practices. In our conversation, Nic fielded numerous excellent listener questions having to do with topics such as pay-for-performance, how to get good training and supervision in OBM, and book recommendations for BCBA's who are looking to learn more in this area. Nic is the author of the forthcoming book, Deliberate Coaching, which he co-wrote with Dr. Paul Gavoni (and you can learn more about Paulie here or here). Nic talked about the book a little bit, but was gracious in naming a variety of other books and articles in the OBM space that he likes as well. I have attempted to list them all here: We talked about Aubrey Daniels' books quite a bit, so for the sake of expedience, click here to check out Aubrey's author page at Amazon. Long time listeners will also recall that Aubrey appeared way back in Session 30 of the podcast. Paradox of Organizational Change, by ABAI's own, Dr. Maria Malott. Rapid Change: Immediate Action for the Impatient Leader, by Joe Laipple. Coaching for Performance, by John Whitmore. Expanding the Customer Base for Behavior-Analytic Services, by LeBlanc, Heinicke, & Baker (2012). I'll keep you posted as to when Nic's book becomes available!

0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to session 61 of the behavioral observations podcast. I'm joined today by Dr. Nick Weatherly of the Florida Institute of Technology, and we delve into a few areas of organizational behavior management, namely the coaching of staff members in public school settings, as well as the ethical considerations of OBM intervention, I should say. In our conversation, Nick Fielded numerous
0:22.7	excellent lists or questions having to do with topics like pay for performance, how to get good
0:27.2	training and supervision in OBM, and book recommendations for BCBAs who are looking to learn
0:32.4	more in this area. We talk about the writing process in general as well.
0:38.4	And in doing so, I kind of tipped my hand a little bit and talked about the book that Dr. Lisa Britton and I are writing on supervision.
0:46.1	You may remember Lisa from Session 29.
0:50.2	And we'll talk a little bit more about that in some episodes down the road here.
0:56.0	But Nick is the author of the forthcoming book, Deliberate Coaching, which he co-wrote with Dr. Paul Gavoni.
1:03.1	And, yeah, so we get into how he wrote that book, why he wrote it, and things along those lines.
1:08.0	But he also was very gracious and, you know, kind of deflected from his book and actually mentioned a ton of other resources and books and things like
1:15.2	that for those who want to learn more about OBM. You can find all of those at behavioral
1:20.1	observations.com session 61. And so that is a good rundown there. That'll give you all the links and things like that to the resources that he mentioned.
1:32.3	So real quickly, this podcast episode is sponsored by Constellations Behavioral Services.
1:37.4	They're looking for outstanding staff members in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
1:42.2	Clinical behavior analysis, the leading ABA provider in the state of Kentucky, and H.RIC
1:48.6	of Colorado, bringing 30 years of recruiting experience to help BCBAs find their dream job.
1:55.5	And then two quick conference notes.
1:58.9	I'll be at the Hoosier ABA conference in October. I'll be doing a live
2:04.0	podcast interviewing Dr. Matt Norman. That should be a lot of fun. And I'll also be at the
2:10.2	New Hampshire Abba conference coming up on September 22nd. Now, there may be a few extra tickets that have been recently made available.
2:19.3	It has been sold out for a couple of weeks, but they've done some room rearrangements and figured out that there may be a few seats that are now become available.
2:28.3	So if you're hearing this and you're on the fence, you're going to want to snap those up because those extra tickets are going to go really fast.
