#202: Using ABA To Help Others at Scale with Dr. Paul Gavoni
I connected with my guest Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author, Dr. Paul Gavoni, on LinkedIn. His work focuses on creating positive and safe cultures by driving meaningful behavior change. He explains that learner behavior often reflects the actions of adults in their environment, a key idea in Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), an application of the science of ABA.
Dr. Gavoni describes OBM as "zooming out" to look at how adult behavior impacts learners. He shares a story of working with a community school, where implementing OBM strategies for the adults created momentum and encouragement while keeping the effort low and the outcomes valuable.
In our conversation, he also talked about the inspiration behind his 10 books, including Quick Wins and Positional Authority Ain’t Leadership, where he breaks down practical behavior management and leadership strategies that drive real change.
We wrapped up with his thoughts on becoming a keynote speaker and getting involved in conferences. His advice? Anyone can do it—it’s JUST behavior.
