Show Notes:

  • Do Better podcast will switch to monthly live recordings instead of weekly in 2024.

  • Goal is to have all live content on the same day/time each month so people can plan for it.

  • Next recording will be a special session on motivational interviewing with Callie on 12/19.

    • Soft skills like listening and cultural humility weren't taught much in grad school but are critical.

    • Important for behavior analysts to listen to families without judgement and understand their perspectives.

    • Compassion, empathy, collaboration, and perspective taking are key soft skills.

    • There can be issues when expectations around "professional" interaction aren't neurodiversity affirming.

    • Resources mentioned:

      • Compassionate listening courses

      • Book "25 Essential Skills for Behavior Analysts"

      • Stoic philosophy (Ryan Holiday)

      • ACT training
