Toolkit for coach (ideally
manager) increases social
support and accountability.

and perceived relevance.
Diagnostic that increases
perceived value to
the individual. Creates
optimal arousal.
Distributed practice (i.e. distributing
experiences) increases performance
by 17%.
Mission: Application task
built into the participants
workflow. Solves issues of
opportunity recognition and
time to apply.
Pledge: Very specific focus on
transfer, using relapse prevention
techniques, like implementation
intentions, and social pressure.
Booster: After-action review,
where participants share
stories of success, failure
and learning from transfer
attempts. Increases feeling
of accountability and
resilience.
Participant toolkit acts as
‘scaffolding’ for the learning.
It primes the right mindset
and prompts transfer.
