Introduction to Shaping
(or Turning Frogs into Princes)

Much like the law of gravity, the laws of learning are always in effect. Thus, the question is not whether to use the laws of learning, but rather how to use them effectively."
-Scott Spreat and Susan Rogers Spreat, "Learning Principles"

Shaping is a set of precise skills which nurture new behaviors in others. Drawing on principles of Social Psychology, Behavior Modification and NLP, this 2 dayShaping Seminar will allow you to elicit excellence in those around you - without dominating, arguing or giving in. What's interesting is that shaping is always occurring - but are you shaping what you want?

Shaping has diverse applications - some people use these skills to create happier relationships with spouses, parents and friends; it's especially good for everyone accountable for someone else's performance (teachers, managers, parents.) You'll also learn (perhaps most importantly) how to shape yourself, which is surprisingly different from shaping others.

This course will excite, frustrate, and enlighten as you discover how easy it is to eliminate problem behaviors in yourself and others without anger, fear or guilt. Bring all your legitimate pet peeves - along with your integrity.
