On Site Coaching



In Place-Just In Time (IP-JIT)



This training is conducted primarily onsite where services and supports are delivered, such as the individual’s home or place of work. Coaching is focused to assist staff in formulating a vision of how they should perform their roles to maximize the quality of the lives of the individuals they support and enhance the effectiveness of supported routines. Tom provides strategies for coaching support staff include modeling preferred behavior, reinforcing staff for preferred interactions, prompting staff to demonstrate preferred behavior. During the onsite coaching session, it is essential that designated management and clinical staff be present to observe and carefully note the techniques used in the coaching activity. It is the dual purpose of the coaching session to demonstrate for management, supervisory and clinical staff best practice coaching strategies they may use with their staff. Following the onsite coaching activity, an offsite session is conducted to analyze the onsite training.


The post analysis off-site session includes a detailing of management and clinical follow-up recommendations, which should be considered as a means to improve the quality of life for the people supported (i.e. protective oversight, individualization of personal space, utilization of age appropriate items, and active participation in daily routines).



WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING



I would highly recommend. I’ve been in this field for 25 plus years and he opened my eyes to some different ideas. I left my seminar and coaching feeling even more passionate about what I do and inspired to do more. Friendship Ark and Lutheran Services, IA 


The coaching experience with Tom was very helpful and he was very positive and respectful when giving feedback. He was very engaging with the house mates and with staff. He helped staff see ways they could create ways to engage everyone in their living environment. Little Rock, AK


I thought I knew exactly how to work with individuals, but you taught me a better way. Tom walked the talk at the onsite training. Gave great suggestions. Made everyone feel comfortable and gave great exit with wonderful suggestions. Lanterman Regional Center, Los Angeles, CA


The in-person coaching experience with Dr. Pomeranz was phenomenal. It was quite amazing what he could pick up on in such a short time. He was detailed and offered so many wonderful suggestions on how we can better support our members to increase their quality of life. His suggestions were definitely something that could be implemented. Overall, the experience was wonderful. Friendship Ark and Lutheran Services, IA 


This is a training I have awaited and so very needed. It is the most beneficial training of my career. EduCare, Harlingen, TX


I am going to model the things I have learned to the staff so that I can be a more effective supervisor. This information is going to change my life, professional and personal. Opportunity Village, Clear Lake, IA
