Supervision is a critical component to our field as Behavior Analysts. Whether serving future BCBAs or clients and families, building rapport is a skillset that is often neglected, overlooked, or simply ignored due to our adherence to datas based decision making. Yet, this "soft skill," is just as important before any services can be provided. To maximize the potential of supervisees and to receive high level involvement and engagement from your clients, building rapport is an essential component to effective and humane treatment. Dr. Harrison's talk will focus on the importance of building rapport as a supervisor with clients and supervisees, while teaching supervisees such a skill; understanding yourself as a leader; and strategies to build and enhance rapport.

Learning Objectives

  1. Recognize the importance of rapport building with clients and supervisees
  2. Implement effective rapport building strategies 
  3. Question and evaluate your leadership and supervision abilities

This was one of the best presentations I have ever watched. Dr. Harrison truly practices what he preaches and leads by example. I appreciated the way that the information was presented and the use of personal examples and stories. Dr. Harrison joins my shortlist of people I will go see speak whenever I have the chance, regardless of what they are presenting on.

Appreciated this presentation/training. Most important take away: view supervisees as colleagues and collaborators rather than subordinates. Very clear and organized content. Thank you.

THOROUGHLY enjoyed this course! I was engaged the entire time and loved the personal stories that were included - they really brought meaning to the topic and were relatable from a BCBA perspective!

I like the information that was provided. I also like how it was provided. However there are some concerns I have in what this may be implying. What should be done when a supervisor's personality interferes with the rapport building? Are they now unfit to be a BCBA? And is it now considered unethical to have a personality in which a supervisee is put off by, even though others are not? There are many factors that could be affecting that relationship that could incidentally be considered discriminatory depending on the demographic information of the people involved. For example gender differences could affect that rapport along with the other factors related to gender. This also includes the differences that come with age and generational differences. Technicians often go into their job with expectations unrelated to BACB standards, such as personal upbringing or prior job experiences. This leads to incongruent expectations that may affect rapport.

This training was phenomenal. Dr. Harrison eloquently articulated this concept in such a relatable fashion. I am so grateful for this perspective as it is one I share as a BCBA and I plan to improve on myself as a conditioned reinforcer.
