I don\u2019t think Karen Pryor had life coaching training<\/a><\/strong> in mind when she wrote, \u201cDon\u2019t Shoot the Dog!\u00a0 The New Art of Teaching and Training.\u201d\u00a0 But it\u2019s a good coach training<\/a><\/strong> resource to help answer the problem: how do you get your clients to perform.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of the key coach training<\/strong> distinctions of this book is that all our actions reinforce behavior.\u00a0\u00a0 This life<\/strong> coaching training<\/strong> is about knowing how to reinforce the behaviors you want to get the results you want.<\/p>\n Life Coaching Training<\/strong> Principle #1:\u00a0 Positive reinforcers are anything paired with a behavior that increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Used properly positive reinforcers are very effective.\u00a0 These reinforcers should be delivered as the behaviors occur.\u00a0 Imagine using delayed reinforcement on your pet.\u00a0 Telling your dog, \u201cgood boy\u201d a few days after he sits on command doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0 Telling a loved one how great she looked when you went to out for dinner last week has a similar effect.\u00a0 I use this coach training<\/strong> principle with my clients.\u00a0 I have them call me to let me know they have followed through with a commitment.\u00a0 Immediately after they complete the task, if possible.\u00a0 Even though they usually leave a voice message, the occasional time they reach me is like hitting the jackpot in Vegas.<\/p>\n Life Coaching Training<\/span> Principle #2:\u00a0 Negative reinforcement might be as subtle as a change in tonality or giving someone a sideways glare.\u00a0 Having an accountability discussion with your client who shows up late or fails to complete his commitments is one situation where this coach training<\/span> may apply.\u00a0 Another is yelling \u201cStop\u201d when your two year old has a fistful of his sister\u2019s hair in his hand while they are sitting in the backseat of the car.\u00a0 If the negative reinforcer continues after the result is achieved, it\u2019s tuned out.<\/p>\n Life Coaching Training<\/span> Principle #3:\u00a0 Another way to positively reinforce your clients is to give them encouragement along the way toward their goals.\u00a0 Think of rewarding yours clients for continuing their efforts knowing they will eventually get the \u201creward.\u201d\u00a0 A word of warning about this coach training<\/span>.\u00a0 Be careful not to reward your clients for \u201ctrying\u201d because this sometimes just gets people to seek attention.<\/p>\n As coaches we want to make sure we don\u2019t \u201cShoot the Dog!\u201d as Karen Pryor says, or our clients, but by using her coach training we can have an even greater influence on our clients.\u00a0 We can help them make even greater achievements.\u00a0 We can also teach our clients to use this life coaching training<\/span> to influence the people in their own lives.<\/p>\n
