Since time immemorial BCBAs have looked at their seven-item array of candies and asked, “Why can't I do a preference assessment with huge items or unavailable activities?” Well, now you can with pictorial and/or video-based preference assessments! But don't take my word for it. Or, do take my word for it, but my word paired with the word of all the research on the subject. And if you're already using this technology in your preference assessments, shouldn't you better double-check that you're actually following the evidence-based guidelines. Or did you just assume that the picture of hanging out with friends playing on the iPad must be equivalent to the real thing? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Community Resilience Series Episode 2: The Importance of Scaling Up Home Risk Assessments with Fire Aside CEO Jason Brooks

Welcome to the second episode in our series about community-level wildfire resilience, supported by Fire Aside! We spoke with Fire Aside CEO and co-founder Jason Brooks about how Fire Aside—a home assessment platform that allows agencies to have direct 1:1 engagement with residents on resilience actions they can take—fits into bigger picture policy, data and decision making around community wildfire resilience in California and beyond.Fire Aside was developed in Marin County, CA alongside the county fire department there, a partnership that was spurred by Jason's own interest in improving the wildfire resilience of his own property and not knowing exactly where to start. That was in 2020—now, Fire Aside is being used by over 100 departments in nine states to increase the efficiency of their home assessment processes and improve engagement with residents who want to improve their defensible space and home hardening. It's become clear that increasing resilience actions at the neighborhood level, rather than just the homeowner level, is the best way to meaningfully reduce risk in the WUI, where fires often spread home to home rather than via vegetation; this scale piece is a huge part of what Fire Aside does, and is what makes it such a compelling technology in an era of urban conflagrations like those in LA this winter (or Boulder, Lahaina, Paradise etc before). Jason and I spoke about the impetus for developing the platform, as well as how it can potentially be utilized to help inform decision making and even funding needs at the city or county level. Down the road, the data procured from Fire Aside may even be useful in informing state policy or other big picture decision making. (Disclaimer: Fire Aside does not own any of the data that is compiled through the app/platform. Residents and departments using the platform own this data.)We appreciate Fire Aside's work and their support of this series on community resilience—if you or your organization are responsible for wildfire risk assessments, we really can't recommend this technology enough. A few action items!Consider following Fire Aside on Linkedin. Check out some Fire Aside testimonials on Youtube. Slightly unrelated but please consider supporting justice and exoneration for firefighter Brian "Hakiym" Simpson.

It's actually helping us get closer because you're gaining more research on what works and what doesn't.”“Confidence crushers are imposter syndrome, perfectionist mindset, the inability to create healthy boundaries because of people-pleasing, and a lack of feeling enough (“enough-ism”)”.“When men struggle with self-confidence they become more assertive…women lose their ability to take action.”Here are the 3 Takeaways:The four pillars Nada talked about were: self-confidence, emotional intelligence, transformational leadership (vs. transactional leadership), and influential communication. These are the things we need to have a thriving life. These are skills we need to have a life that is thriving. The four branches of Emotional Intelligence are: self-awareness, self- management, social awareness, and relationship management. There are aspects to each of these that solve every single challenge we deal with as it relates to people. All of these make up emotional and social intelligence. Self-confidence can undermine our success and research says it doesn't matter what level or country – this is a challenge we all have. We've been taught to have confidence in the thing and change is inevitable.

Most psychometric tools used today were built before the internet. Yet we still expect them to find our future leaders? In this episode, I sat down with David Jones, CEO and Partner at Mercer Talent Enterprise, to challenge everything we think we know about assessments. We dig into the systems that drive hiring, development, and succession—and ask the big question: Are our tools keeping up with our talent? Here's what we unpack: ✅ Why most assessments are stuck in the 20th century ✅ How the Thriving Index surfaces potential others miss ✅ The untapped power of combining strengths + personality ✅ What AI is (and isn't) doing in psychometrics ✅ Why democratising access could uncover hidden gems ✅ How region-specific data can massively shift effectiveness Quick stats that'll make you rethink everything: → Most tools still benchmark Western, older norms → Over 60% of the Middle East population is under 30 → Engagement spikes immediately after an assessment—yet we act days later This isn't a nice-to-know. It's a leadership necessity. Because the way we assess shapes the way we lead. If you're DONE using outdated tools to make critical people decisions—this episode is your wake-up call.

Send us a textFeeling overwhelmed by the array of assessment tools you need to master for your licensing exam? Today's episode offers a deep dive into one of the most practical and versatile instruments available to therapists: the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS).Dr. Linton Hutchinson breaks down this deceptively simple yet powerful clinical tool that allows therapists to quantify what seems unquantifiable – a client's subjective experience of distress. With characteristic energy (accidentally fueled by a caffeinated Starbucks mishap), Dr. Hutchinson thoroughly explains how SUDS works on a 0-10 scale, where clients rate their distress from none to maximum intensity. The beauty of SUDS lies in its accessibility and immediate feedback, making it invaluable for tracking therapeutic progress.The episode systematically explores the four phases of SUDS implementation: establishing baselines, monitoring distress throughout sessions, regulating intervention intensity, and evaluating long-term progress. You'll discover how this framework integrates seamlessly with evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure therapy, with research supporting its effectiveness in treating anxiety disorders. Dr. Hutchinson offers practical applications for your clinical toolkit – from using SUDS during relaxation exercises to pairing it with cognitive restructuring to demonstrate the impact of thought reframing on emotional states.Whether you're preparing for your licensing exam or looking to enhance your clinical practice, this episode delivers essential knowledge in an engaging, straightforward manner. The key takeaway? SUDS provides a structured yet flexible framework for measuring distress that works across diverse populations and therapeutic approaches. And as Dr. Hutchinson reminds us – understanding tools like this could be exactly what helps you pass your exam, even if just by one point.

In this episode of Crushing Club Marketing, Ed Heil sits down with Jodie Cunningham, owner of Optimus Talent Partners and a certified Predictive Index partner, to explore how behavioral assessments can revolutionize hiring in the private club industry. Drawing on her years of experience, Jodie shares practical insights on building stronger teams, aligning talent with culture, and avoiding costly hiring mistakes. From understanding your club's identity to using data to navigate generational differences, this conversation is packed with strategic takeaways for club leaders who want to elevate their recruitment approach and enhance the member experience. Key Moments: Meet Jodie Cunningham (00:00:00): Ed Heil introduces Jodie Cunningham, owner of Optimus Talent Partners and certified Predictive Index partner, with a background in HR at the Four Seasons and St. Louis Rams, highlighting her expertise in behavioral science and talent strategy. Culture Drives Member Experience (00:04:03): Jodie emphasizes that culture is shaped by the people you hire, making talent selection critical; the Four Seasons' process, where every candidate met the GM, shows how seriously they took cultural fit (00:05:06). What Clubs Often Miss in Team Building (00:06:12): Many clubs lack a strategic HR lead and jump into hiring without first defining their needs, leading to reactive, short-term decisions (00:07:13). Proactive Recruiting Strategies (00:07:13): Jodie encourages clubs to go beyond job postings by branding themselves as employers of choice and building pipelines through schools and networks; recruiting should be a shared responsibility, not just HR's job (00:08:06, 00:08:58). Knowing Your Club's Identity (00:09:52): Clubs must understand their environment—formal or informal—so they can hire people who thrive in that setting, especially if they're going through change (00:10:55). Common Hiring Pitfalls (00:12:50): Reactive hiring, relying on resumes instead of fit, and unconscious bias are all common issues; resumes show where someone has worked, not how well they'll perform (00:14:37). Why Use Assessments (00:15:37): Assessments give insight into how candidates will collaborate, lead, and fit into your team, revealing traits that interviews often miss (00:16:38, 00:17:22). Don't Over-Rely on Assessments (00:18:15): Assessments are helpful tools, but people can flex in roles temporarily; Jodie warns against using them as excuses for underperformance (00:19:17, 00:20:55). Use Assessments Beyond Hiring (00:21:40): Jodie recommends using assessments for onboarding, feedback, conflict resolution, and succession planning to strengthen team communication and performance. When to Use Assessments (00:23:18): Ideally, assessments are used during the application stage, but timing depends on cost and length; even refusal to take one can offer insight (00:24:20, 00:25:07, 00:27:00). Fair, Valid, and Legal (00:27:45): Use scientifically validated assessments and create objective job targets to ensure fairness, reduce bias, and stay compliant. Picking the Right Tool (00:29:32): Clubs should identify their goals, weigh the cost of a bad hire, and evaluate tools based on pricing model, ease of use, length, and available support (00:31:21, 00:32:18, 00:33:08). The Predictive Index (PI) (00:47:48): PI helps clubs align hiring, onboarding, and performance with a common language; it's quick to complete and offers individualized behavioral profiles (00:48:37, 00:49:41). Getting Started with Assessments (00:50:40): Jodie suggests piloting assessments on 3–5 candidates for a key role to test how it fits into your process before a full rollout. The High Cost of a Bad Hire (00:52:14): Poor hires cost more than money—they impact morale and culture; understanding your team and embracing change are key to long-term success (00:53:22). Generational Insight Through Data (00:54:09): Assessments help leaders adapt their style to different generations and better understand their own strengths and gaps (00:55:56). Sharing Assessment Results (00:43:36): While candidate data isn't typically shared, employees can request access; cognitive data should remain confidential, but internal transparency supports stronger teams (00:45:13, 00:46:04).

Improving Subduction Zone Hazards Assessments Using the Coastal Stratigraphic Record

Tina Dura, Virgina Tech Climate-driven sea-level rise is increasing flood risks worldwide, but sudden land subsidence from great (>M8) earthquakes remains an overlooked factor. Along the Washington, Oregon, and northern California coasts, the next Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake could cause 0.5-2 m of rapid subsidence, dramatically expanding floodplains and exposing communities to heightened flooding hazards. This talk explores the coastal geologic methods used to estimate coseismic subsidence along the CSZ, and then quantifies potential floodplain expansion across 24 Cascadia estuaries under low (~0.5 m), medium (~1 m), and high (~2 m) earthquake-driven subsidence scenarios—both today and by 2100, when compounded by climate-driven sea-level rise. We will also explore the implications for residents, infrastructure, and decision-makers preparing for the intersection of seismic and climate hazards.
