Expert Panel: Amy Hobek, PhD, CCC-SLP, Fé González Murray, EdD, CCC-SLP, Vishnu KK Nair, Archie Soelaeman, Betty Yu and Reem KhamisTake ACTION HERE: Changes to 2020 certification standards feedback. Survey. (n.d.). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020_Cert_ChangesThis episode will be available for 0.1 ASHA CEU on July 2Correction Note from Dr. Betty: “During the recording I referred to the executive order targeting associations with assets of $500 million or more. I thought ASHA met that criteria but actually ASHA's net assets are around $174 million.”In this episode, Michelle and Erin host an all start line up of colleagues from across the globe to discuss ASHA's Proposed Changes to the “2020 Certification Standards” and the long-term ramifications that these changes could have for our profession. This conversation is timely in that there are only a matter of days, roughly 3 weeks or less, for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (including students) to write in and advocate to ASHA on whether the proposed changes to the 2020 Certification Standards should be accepted… changes that remove key words and language that were hard fought to obtain. Be informed that this conversation does address political rationale behind the changes and offer a plethora of resources for individuals to grow their knowledge regarding the long-term ramifications of these proposed changes… but it ends with resources on how to make your voice heard!

As doulas, when it comes to communication, what we say and how it's heard are not always the same. Words shape how clients feel, respond, and make decisions. Asking questions that begin with "why" can unintentionally sound like judgment, even when your intent is neutral or supportive. Doulas often believe that it's our job to make sure clients are making informed choices. In truth, our responsibility is to our clients, not for them. It is not our role or responsibility to decide what a client wants or needs to know. But doulas often offer information without asking what the client wants to know or inquiring in a non-judgmental way how they came to a decision, especially surrounding topics like induction or elective cesareans. This episode unpacks the critical difference between what we mean and how our words are interpreted. If you want to strengthen your communication, reduce misunderstandings, and support clients with more clarity and compassion.

Send us a textIn this episode, hosts Scott Kuhlman and Chasity Owens deliver another compelling installment from the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI) training conference. Recording remotely while Scott teaches at the Fire Investigator Academy in Fresno, the duo presents an illuminating conversation with Rick and Cassandra Jones, two passionate advocates for fire investigation certification and training excellence.Rick Jones shares his journey from law enforcement canine handler to IAAI board member and eventual president during the challenging COVID-19 period, where he helped pivot the organization to remote training delivery. His wife Cassandra, with her educational background in English, brings her expertise in report writing and program development to their shared mission of elevating industry standards. Together, they've built a successful fire investigation company while dedicating countless volunteer hours to improving certification programs and training quality across the field.The conversation centers on the critical importance of obtaining professional certifications, particularly the Evidence Collection Technician (ECT) program. The Joneses announce significant updates to certification requirements, including the elimination of mandatory evidence collection numbers in favor of training-based qualifications and the addition of five new evidence categories specifically designed for private-side investigators. These changes address long-standing concerns from investigators who participate in evidence collection but may not physically handle items themselves, making certifications more accessible while maintaining rigorous standards.Rick and Cassandra emphasize that certifications serve as third-party validation of an investigator's competency, going beyond the minimum requirements of NFPA 1033 to include practical demonstrations and courtroom testimony experience. They detail the upcoming alignment of all IAAI certifications to five-year renewal cycles, streamlining the process for investigators while ensuring continued professional development. The couple's commitment extends to personally answering questions from members, with Rick providing his direct phone number and encouraging investigators at all levels to reach out for guidance.The episode also highlights the Joneses' innovative internship program, where university students pursuing fire investigation degrees spend 5-7 weeks living and working with their company, gaining invaluable real-world experience. These stories, including humorous accounts of interns learning the realities of hands-and-knees scene processing, demonstrate their dedication to nurturing the next generation of fire investigators.Scott and Chasity wrap up with their popular segments, including "We Train Frequently" spotlighting upcoming conferences in Arizona and Georgia, and "Can You Use It In A Sentence" continuing their educational series on fire investigation terminology. The hosts also address listener questions about accessing Science Advisory Work Group meetings, explaining the confidential nature of these peer review sessions while encouraging participation in local chapters.This episode reinforces the podcast's mission of connecting the fire investigation community through shared knowledge and professional development opportunities, showcasing how industry leaders like Rick and Cassandra Jones are working tirelessly to advance the field through improved training and certificaThank you for listening!

Are you stuck in the endless loop of "just one more certification" before you launch your coaching business? If you're waiting to feel "ready" or "qualified enough," this episode is your wake-up call. After helping a coaching client save $10,000 on an unnecessary certification and watching her replace her teaching salary in just one year, I knew it was time to expose the certification spiral that's keeping talented coaches stuck. In this episode, I reveal the harsh truth: I've seen coaches with walls full of certifications making zero money, while coaches with minimal credentials build multi-six-figure businesses. The difference isn't in the letters behind their names—it's in their willingness to actually coach real people. I share the 3 things clients pay coaches for (none involve credentials), the 6 clear signs you're stuck in the certification spiral, and my 3-step framework to build real coaching confidence without spending another penny on certifications. Key insights include: Why collecting credentials is actually a fear-based strategy The inverse relationship between certifications and confidence How "I'm still learning" is keeping you from making money Why coaches with fewer certifications often make MORE money How to leverage your lived experience into profitable expertise Your clients need you RIGHT NOW—not perfect-you or PhD-you. The courage to start is infinitely more valuable than perfect preparation.

ConnectWise has launched a unified MSP platform and an ASIO-powered professional services automation (PSA) solution at their IT Nation Secure event. The new offerings aim to streamline operations for managed service providers (MSPs) by providing features such as unified log management, automated alert triage, and customizable dashboards. The ConnectWise Pro package bundles essential tools into a single contract, allowing partners to choose flexible pricing models. This strategic move is designed to enhance operational efficiency and position ConnectWise as a central player in the MSP ecosystem.In a significant industry shift, Kaseya has appointed Rania Sukar as its new CEO, coinciding with ConnectWise's event. Sukar, a former executive at Google and Intuit, brings a wealth of experience in technology solutions for small businesses. Her focus on enhancing customer experience and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for profitability reflects a broader trend in the industry. The timing of her appointment is seen as a strategic maneuver to capture attention during a competitor's major announcement, indicating Kaseya's intent to assert its presence in the market.Breach SecureNow has introduced the first generative AI certification program tailored for MSPs, aiming to equip them with the knowledge to guide clients through AI adoption. This certification is crucial as AI becomes increasingly integrated into small and medium-sized businesses, often without proper management. By providing a structured framework for AI usage and cybersecurity best practices, Breach SecureNow positions itself as a leader in AI training for MSPs, potentially setting a standard in the industry.The venture capital landscape is undergoing a transformation, with a notable slowdown in traditional funding rounds, particularly at the seed stage.

Investors are shifting their focus towards acquiring established service-oriented companies and enhancing them with AI, a strategy that could reshape competition and valuation in the IT services sector.

Send us a textIt started with jokes about zippers and tight flight suits—and somehow ended with tears, respect, and emotional damage. In this episode, Jared and Aaron go full live-reaction mode to Netflix's Thunderbirds documentary, expecting to roast some high-speed sky dancers… but end up with a full-blown redemption arc, complete with G-locks, dumb call signs, and some real leadership lessons.They question if the show is harder than combat, mock staged B-roll, and coin the term “Swag Maintainer,” all while secretly (and not-so-secretly) falling in love with the team. This isn't just about airplanes doing tricks—it's about pride, sacrifice, pain, and the power of not sucking when it counts. Bonus points if your call sign isn't “Primo.”
