Train and Develop Staff in Habits Not Heroics Model
We combine immersive training, real-time coaching, ongoing community, and structured reflection to create learning that lasts.
This multi-channel model ensures new skills become daily habits that stick — building consistency, confidence, and collective impact across your organization.
As Easy as 1,2,3…
In-person, interactive training that builds shared language, trauma-informed practice, and research-based instructional strategies.
Participants apply strategies through routine streaking challenges—small, 15-minute practice cycles that turn learning into habits.–offered through Mockingbird’s ECHO Community Membership.
Ongoing coaching, onboarding, webinars, and resources that sustain growth and strengthen consistency long after the training ends are offered through Mockingbird’s ECHO Community Membership.
Step 1
The Workshop
The journey begins with a 2–3 day immersive workshop that unites staff around a shared mindset and equips them with the practical, research-based habits that drive lasting change.
In this highly interactive experience, staff learn and practice strategies that improve engagement, attention, and motivation—especially for learners facing barriers. The workshop blends neurobiology, developmental psychology, and trauma-informed practice into real, teachable skills that anyone can use immediately.

Step 2
The Implementation Year
The real transformation happens in the Implementation Year—a full year of guided growth and coaching delivered through Mockingbird’s ECHO Membership.
This is where programs put learning into action, sustain progress, and develop a culture of practice. The ECHO community provides the ongoing support, accountability, and leadership development needed to make new habits stick and grow.
