Reflective Practice: A Catalyst for Humility in Leadership, Supervision, and Professional Development

In the field of behavior analysis, humility has emerged as a critical component of effective leadership, with self-monitoring serving as an evidence-based practice to cultivate this essential trait. Reflective practice, widely recognized in healthcare and education as a cornerstone of professional development, offers behavior analysts an evolved approach to self-monitoring that can catalyze the development of humble repertoires. This workshop presents a systematic framework for reflective practice that integrates self-awareness, possibility training, and decision-making processes to foster receptivity to feedback and promote adaptive behaviors. Participants will learn practical strategies for implementing reflective practice in their own work and training their supervisees in these valuable skills.

Objectives of the Workshop:

Participants will be able to attend to the utility and variations of reflection across clinical practice

Participants will be able to identify the components of a model for reflective practice

Participants will be able to describe the process for training supervisees to engage in reflective practice 

Participants will be able to apply a reflective practice model in personal and professional capacities
