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!
