FACILITATOR
Mellanie Page
I remember spending several years being told that I couldn't "work in OBM"—cue the lectures on ethics, mentorship, and degrees. Fast forward to 2017, when I decided to rise above that noise and dive into research, books, and, most importantly, practice. I learned that I could become an OBM Practitioner by… practicing. I gained enough knowledge to understand which projects would not cause harm, were low risk, and had a high likelihood of making a positive impact. Fast forward to today, where I've influenced over $4+ million in positive outcomes for companies using the science of behavior analysis (just this year). I want to teach you the skills that helped me be effective in applying this science to businesses. If you love solving problems, have generated effective strategies for your company, and feel drawn to OBM, let's help you access the career of your dreams.
