Assertiveness is the antidote to fear, shyness, passivity, and even anger, so there is an astonishingly wide range of situations in which this training is appropriate. How to Think Assertively Many people develop beliefs that lead to avoiding conflict in the short term, but create long term resentments and loss of self-respect. Beliefs that interfere with self respect include. Applying cognitive thinking to gathering and analyzing information, designing and testing solutions to problems. Learning a thinking style that enables a person to break up large, complex issues into smaller, more individually managable ones. Knowing what choices are available and how much each option 'costs.'
- Behavioral Therapy Train the Parent, Help the Child. Sometimes, medication alone does not turn around a child’s negative behaviors. If you’re a parent at the end of her rope, don’t lose hope — behavioral parent training may be your best shot at a calmer household and a better relationship with your child.

Dear All,Our Company in into Construction. We conduct several technical/functional and behavioral trainings. For technical training, we have customised forms to measure effectiveness of training. As benefits of behavioural trainings are intangible, we are looking forward for a user friendly questionnaire/form or any other method to measure and record the effectiveness of trainings like:
Business Communication and Presentation skills
Leadership skills
And also
Computer skills
Advance Excel
If you can think of any solution, please share with me. looking forward for your responses.

Behavioural trainings come with a lot of Intangibles.
We generally first make a note of Behaviours pre training all these behaviouras are noted in terms of a standardised questionnaire. These questionnaires are designed depending on the industry the work stress level, culture of the company and so on.
Then we test the individuals on a specific behavioural pattern that is expected according to the company's rules and regulations. All these are measured on a REBT scale.
Then gap is identified.

I would like to say the following on the above subject:
a) Change after Behavioural training can best be understood and measured by the superiors. When you train your employees or managers, do their superiors are competent to comprehend the change?
b) Training programmes are for setting standards. Before going ahead with any training programme, are you clear about what standards an employee should achieve after the training. Secondly, you should tell them of the consequences if they fail to attain those standards.
c) At end of the training session, generally feedback is taken. If the feedback is good but there are no results. What plan or strategy you have to handle this situation?
d) My comments on the modules that you have mentioned are as below:
i) Business Communication and Presentation skills: - set the standards. After ____ days of training, the participants must acquire these standards.
ii) Leadership skills: - This is really tricky. Real success of leadership lies in employee empowerment, secondly leadership qualities shown by the top management and thirdly the organisation culture. For lower level, post-training feedback from the subordinates and superiors can be taken to measure the change. Again you should be absolutely clear what change you wish to bring in.
iii) Computer skills: - Conduct test after ____ days of training.
iv) Advance Excel: - Conduct test after ____ days of training.
For info.

Thanks for your reply. It has triggerred some thought process in line with the subject matter.
The first question you have raised is really a BIG QUESTION??. The Seniors are not competent enough to observe changes or lets say measure changes after behavioral training. There is a lot of approximation in the feedback.
We have predecided curriculum and standards (generally mentioned in 4-5 points) typically as 'after the programme the participant will be able to do ____ _________ __________ etc.'
I wanted to design a evaluation form or process. Will you be able to help me with some more inputs on this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Smitha,Effectiveness of any training is very important. I'm sure you conduct TNA. the TNA should tell you why an individual requires a particular training. TNA should also tell you the managers perspective as to why this individual requires this training.
So pre assessment or an understanding of the requirement is got. THen set training expectations and conduct the training.
1 month or 3 months after the training, please go back to the trainees and find out how this training has influenced them in their work, intrapersonal relations and interpersonal relations and do the see any prominent positive changes?
do the same thing with the managers too- regarding the trainee.

On June 22, 2015, I received a phone call from a staff at a local residential home serving adults with developmental disabilities. With a lot of excitement, she asked if I watched NBC Dateline the night before. Before I could answer, in even more excitement, she said, “that guy did that strategy you were talking about in class!”
Let me give you a little insight into what she was talking about. She was referring to the segment on NBC Dateline called “My kid would never do that: gun safety”, and the guy was Dr. Raymond Miltenberger.You can check out the segment here.
If you teach anyone, anything, behavior analysis has a secret to share with you. It’s the strategy the staff was talking about – Behavior Skills Training (BST). It is a method to teach students, staff, parents, and anyone else you are teaching a new skill. Dr. Miltenberger defines BST as “a procedure consisting of instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and feedback that is used to teach new behaviors or skills” (2004, p. 558). And that’s exactly what it is, a 4-step teaching strategy that works!
BST teaches a person what to do — that is, what behaviors to engage in under a particular circumstance.It allows for practice within the program so that the person can become fluent with the skills.It is an effective train-the-trainer procedure. And perhaps most importantly, can be individualized to each person. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
Let’s break down each of the steps:
Instruction – Provide a description of the skill, its importance or rationale, and when and when not to use the skill. Repeat this step as necessary.
Modeling – Show your participant how to perform the skill. In-vivo modeling is recommended.
Rehearsal – Practice, practice, and practice! Allow the participant opportunities to practice the skill. Recent research suggests that participants should be able to practice in-situ. The trainer should record data on correct and incorrect responding during this step.
Feedback – The trainer should provide positive praise for correct responding and some form of corrective feedback for incorrect responses.

Some requirements before you can implement a BST program include: the person receiving the training must have the pre-requisite skills required for the behaviors you are teaching, the skill must include a chain of behaviors (a number of skills), and you must be able to role-play or video model the skills.
In a Registered Behavior Technician training course I was providing, I used BST to teach various skills to participants. Any skill I was teaching that met the afore-mentioned requirements I taught using BST. Based on the feedback forms from eight cohorts, participants reported that they enjoyed and learned the most when they got to practice the skills being taught, and got immediate feedback.
Here’s an example of how it was used in the training. The skill was implementing preference assessments with clients.
Instructions were provided on why preference assessments are done, when and with whom to do them, how to use the data sheet, the materials required, and how to complete the assessment.
I modeled completing a preference assessment, using one of the course participants as my “client.”
Participants paired up and practiced administering the preference assessment with their colleagues.Participants were able to practice the skill as each preference assessment included 30 trials!
I went to each group and provided feedback on what each person was doing correctly and incorrectly.
