Podcasts about CEU

In this episode of the Barbell Rehab Podcast we sit down with Dr. Miles Nicholas to discuss training like an athlete. We chat about what this means, misnomers and confusion, pros and cons and how to practically integrate this. We discuss training considerations around rate of force development, peak force, plyometrics, change of direction and kinetic linking. We also dive into in season programming considerations and any potential concerns around the “interference effect”. We finish with a brief discussion around ACL return to sport and preparation for those beginning to ski/snowboard. Miles can be found on IG @miles_barbellrehab. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Diagnosis and prescribing are no longer on the margins for pharmacy practice, but explicitly called out in the ACPE Standards that guide pharmacy education. Once considered out of bounds for pharmacists, diagnostic reasoning is now central to preparing practice-ready graduates. This episode explores how preceptors can support learners in applying clinical decision-making frameworks, integrating shared decision-making, and navigating prescriptive authority across diverse practice settings—equipping the next generation of pharmacists for expanded patient care.HOSTKathy Schott, PhDVice President, Education & OperationsCEimpactGUESTSJennifer Adams, PharmD, EdDAssociate Professor, Associate Dean for Academic AffairsIdaho State University L.S.

Hosts: Renee Chuichiarelli & Julie Parks Published: [Insert publish date here] Length: ~8 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this final episode of the Career mini-series, Hammer & Heels (Renee & Julie) talk about one of the most critical — and often overlooked — aspects of career growth: continuing education. They share how lifelong learning not only builds credibility and compliance strength but also demonstrates leadership, engagement, and care for your team and company. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Targeted Training Matters – Traditional education can only go so far. Trade professionals grow fastest through focused, real-world learning like Global Training Center's import/export certifications and broker CEU programs. Set an Education Standard – Create a skills and behavior matrix for your team. Identify not just technical skills, but also soft skills like curiosity, decision-making, and the ability to say “pause” or “no” when compliance demands it. Build the Business Case for Training – The cost of training is far less than the cost of turnover. Invest in your existing talent and highlight how learning reduces risk and strengthens company culture. Think Globally – Don't limit yourself to U.S. training programs. Look into courses offered in other countries (Ireland, Australia, etc.) for new perspectives on familiar trade topics. Julie's FIO (Figure It Out)

In Session 313, Dr. Cody Morris from Salve Regina University, and the newly re-launched All Things Behavior podcast (please also see The BAPcast Podcast), joins me to dive into a topic that has merited quite a bit of discussion in Applied Behavior Analysis. These days, you pretty much have to be living under a rock in ABA circles to not have noticed the increased focus on assent practices in treatment programming. Cody is one of the preeminent authorities on this topic, and in this episode, we talk about the definitions of assent, how assent has been conceptualized in other fields, and how it applies to the work we do as Behavior Analysts. In doing so, we review Cody's article, Toward a Further Understanding of Assent, which was published in the winter 2024 issue. Long story short, if you're looking for a nuanced discussion on this topic that avoids binary, black and white conceptualizations, you've come to the right place. Here's a deeper dive into what we discussed: Assent in Behavior Analysis: Cody's research on assent—a concept similar to consent but applicable to individuals without legal authorization to consent for themselves. Assent involves four critical features: legal status, giving permission, adequate information, and the ability to withdraw permission. This concept is essential for involving clients in therapeutic decisions, particularly those with communication differences or developmental disabilities. Client Assent in Therapeutic Settings: The discussion covers the historical roots and practical applications of assent in behavior analysis. Cody clarifies that assent is a specific strategy for involving clients in treatment decisions, not an all-or-nothing requirement. He addresses the challenges of obtaining accurate verbal assent from clients with complex communication needs and recommends using multiple sources of information when assessing client preferences. Assent Procedures in Research: An examination of assent procedures in behavior analytic research, including the distinction between free choice and fair choice. The episode explores how researchers and clinicians can minimize undue influence and coercive contingencies while arranging fair choices and creating socially acceptable outcomes. Balancing Clinical Progress and Client Autonomy: Cody discusses the critical balance between making clinical progress and giving clients independence and autonomy. He explains that while some procedures are necessary and non-negotiable, there are often opportunities to involve clients in decisions about their treatment, such as choosing the time of day or setting for therapeutic activities or medication management. Implementing Assent in Practice: The episode addresses nuances and limitations of implementing client assent in behavioral therapy, emphasizing that assent should be balanced with clinical progress. Cody highlights the dangers of overgeneralizing procedures without individualizing treatment and encourages a broader approach to maximizing client involvement in therapeutic decisions. Challenges in Assent Assessment: A discussion on the challenges and limitations of developing simplified decision-making tools (like checklists) for assessing client assent. Cody emphasizes the need for nuanced clinical judgment due to insufficient research and recommends that researchers take small, focused steps in studying specific aspects of assent.

Takeaways for Practitioners Assent is one tool within a larger framework of client-centered services, not the sole focus of treatment Incorporate clients in as many meaningful decisions as possible throughout treatment, distinguishing between necessary procedures and flexible choices Use multiple sources of information when assessing client preferences, especially for individuals with complex communication needs Balance clinical progress with client autonomy and independence Avoid overgeneralizing or rigidly following assent procedures without individualizing treatment Take a nuanced, clinically-informed approach to client involvement in therapeutic decisions This episode is brought to you by the following sponsors: •    Frontera.

Introducing Flying Solo with Katie Kangas, a podcast where professionals share how they have pursued their dreams of architectural practice and design. Listen to the full season 1In this episode of Flying Solo, host Katie Kangas explores what it really means to fly. She begins with perspective—examining why choosing to step into the unknown and aiming for “blue oceans” can open up new horizons for both personal life and professional practice. Drawing inspiration from Blue Ocean Strategy by Renée Mauborgne and W. Chan Kim, Katie reflects on how architects and solopreneurs can create fresh opportunities rather than competing in overcrowded markets. Flying becomes a metaphor for dreaming big and daring to venture into new territories.Katie then shifts to how Solopreneurs must pivot in professional practice. Just as birds adjust midflight, entrepreneurs must cultivate adaptability and nimbleness. She highlights the precision of a hawk shifting direction in the air—its sharp instincts serving as a powerful model for business strategy when plans inevitably change. Like the hawk or even the falcon in flight, success often comes from being able to adjust quickly without losing momentum.The conversation continues with possibility—the endless opportunities that flight symbolizes. Different models of business growth can be paralleled to birds such as the hummingbird, albatross, and swift, each with unique flight patterns. From rapid bursts of creative energy to long-distance endurance, these birds illustrate the many ways Solopreneurs can flourish. With the right mindset, the potential for growth, impact, and earning is limitless.The episode concludes by recapping the three themes: Perspective, Pivot, and Possibility. Together, they form a guide to embracing the entrepreneurial journey. Referencing Atomic Habits by James Clear, Katie underscores how small, consistent steps can lead to extraordinary results. Join the Flying Solo community on Instagram and connect through Gabl Media to continue exploring what it means to build a practice—and a life—on your own terms.To join this flying solo movement, you can follow Flying Solo Arch on Instagram where Katie posts content to encourage your business life.

In Session 311, I sit down with Christina Nylander and Leah Hussain from Apollo Behavior to talk about culturally sensitive approaches to Autism intervention. We dive into three case studies that show how flexible, individualized care can make a huge difference in building the rapport that's so important in our clinical work. Along the way, we share strategies for gaining parent buy-in, supporting bilingual language development, and using AAC devices to help children communicate more effectively with their families. Here's what we cover: The parent training shift when cultural sensitivity and rapport-building are prioritized. Christina and Leah's bilingual language development success stories, including Spanish- and Russian-speaking families. The role of AAC devices in improving communication, and one of these case studies progressed to no longer needing this technology. My random thoughts on video documentation and other creative methods to communicate client progress to stakeholders. Throughout the discussion, we reflect on the importance of balancing clinical recommendations with cultural and educational values. It's not just about treatment plans—it's about building trust, respecting families' perspectives, and helping kids thrive in ways that feel authentic to them. Sidenote: If you want to learn about what it's like to work at Apollo, or check out their open positions, click here. Key Takeaways Cultural sensitivity builds stronger collaboration with families. Bilingual and AAC strategies can unlock communication progress. Showing progress through videos and creative methods strengthens parent engagement. Individualized parent training, including in multiple languages, increases accessibility. If you're a BCBA, ABA therapist, or behavioral health professional, I think you'll find this conversation full of practical ideas for making your work more effective—and more meaningful.

In today's episode of Female emPOWERED, I'm breaking down the most common compensation models for Pilates instructors, yoga teachers, and physical therapists—and why getting this wrong can destroy your margins, retention, and culture.Too many studio and practice owners overpay staff, set up complicated systems nobody understands, or tie pay directly to percentages that cut profits in half. It doesn't have to be this way.Inside this episode, I cover:The pros and cons of hourly pay, per-head + base models, percentage splits, and salariesWhy “simple and fair” wins over complicated structures every timeHow to calculate the numbers so your payroll doesn't eat more than 50% of revenuePerks and benefits (like CEU stipends, health stipends, and free classes) that attract and retain staff without tanking your marginsA real-life math breakdown of what happens when you pay too much out of $100 in revenue

Čtení s Respektem s filozofem Matejem Cíbikem o aktuální kondici liberalismu ve střední Evropě, vnitřních rozporech systému, hloupých i nebezpečných politikách ohrožujících liberální stát a jeho nové knize. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.Liberalismus - pro jedny představuje vytoužený systém spojený s hodnotami jako je svoboda, rovnost emancipovaných občanů a vzájemný respekt a to i ve vztahu ke státu. Liberálně demokratické uspořádání funguje jako hrací pole se spravedlivými pravidly umožňující soutěž různých myšlenek a přístupů ve veřejné debatě, trhu i politice, kde má mít každý člověk šanci bez ohledu na svůj původ. Jiným zní označení liberál a liberální stát v uších jako výsměch z úst kosmopolitních elit a obyvatel metropolí, nálepka ospravedlňující neoliberální postupy a sílící ekonomickou či majetkovou nerovnost nebo jako ideologie, která pro někoho nebezpečně relativizuje určité tradice a identity. A nezanedbatelná část lidí také pokukuje po jiných teoriích a systémech v nichž jednotlivec není stavěn takto vysoko. A právě o různých podobách liberalismu ve střední Evropě, jeho kondici, nepochopení i ohrožení mluví v rozhovoru slovenský filosof Matej Cíbik, který působí na CEU ve Vídní, učí na Univerzitě Pardubice, a je autorem nové knihy Liberálové a ti druzí (Academia, 2025). V čem vidí hlavní ohrožení liberální demokracie ve střední Evropě. Jaké pesimistické a optimistické scénáře může čekat Maďarsko, Slovensko i Česko po parlamentních volbách? Nejen na to se ptá Štěpán Sedláček. Přijměte pozvání na další debatu Čtení s Respektem o knize izraelského historika Juvala N.

What does independence really mean for neurodiverse learners, and how can families set them up for long-term success? Host Michelle Zeman welcomes Christine Drew and Kristin Lombardi to discuss their book Spectrum of Independence, which offers families a structured yet flexible framework for building independence. They explore how small, consistent steps - like breaking down daily routines into teachable parts - can lead to big changes over time, while also addressing the challenges of burnout, resistance, and fading parental support. Listeners will gain insight into why services often fall off after age 21, why early preparation matters, and how parents can move from doing for their child to empowering them with the tools to do for themselves. The authors also highlight how teaching independence protects boundaries, supports consent, and reduces vulnerability to abuse. They also examine the risks of overprotection, the importance of teaching boundaries and consent, and the need to prepare families for the “services cliff” when supports drop off after age 21. This detailed discussion blends professional expertise with relatable family stories, making it a valuable resource for caregivers, educators, and practitioners alike.

What if you could get paid repeatedly for teaching what you already know? In this episode, I'm chatting with Michelle Risser about becoming a CEU provider—an overlooked income stream most therapists don't even realize is possible.Michelle shares why starting with a course is actually a mistake, how to work backwards from approval requirements, and the truth that your therapy license alone is enough. We even break down real numbers: a 3-hour training for 20 people at $60 each = $1,200, you can repeat anytime.After 15 years of doing this herself, Michelle now helps therapists launch this revenue stream with her complete course and templates. If you're ready to earn beyond back-to-back client sessions, this convo is a total eye-opener.More about Michelle Risser: Michelle is a therapist in private practice and a multi-passionate entrepreneur. She believes that diversified income streams are the key to more impact and less burnout for mental health professionals. Michelle is passionate about helping therapists step into their expertise as approved CEU providers so they can have more income and more impact! She's the creator of several courses and group programs and also offers 1:1 consultation. Michelle lives with her family in Central Ohio, rows on a rowing team, is a cat lady with no cats, and is obsessed with knitting.Topics covered on Become a CEU Provider:Michelle's path from archaeology to CEUsWhy CEUs are easier than coaching/consultingThe biggest mistake to avoidWhere to apply for CE approvalCredentials required to startResources from this episode:Therapist to Coach Startup SchoolThis episode is sponsored by Berries — an AI-powered scribe tool designed for mental health pros.

Send us a textFrom launching Kaiser Permanente's first website to building a global food & wine CEU tourism company, today's guest has reinvented herself across medicine, tech, education, and entrepreneurship. We are diving into the story of June Forkner Dunn, a trailblazing nurse who has redefined what's possible in leadership, innovation, and global vision.June began her career in healthcare, founding Medical Consulting Resources—a company that provided expert witnesses in malpractice litigation, managing a team of nearly 20 doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists. Her journey then took her to the corporate offices of Kaiser Permanente, where she held two groundbreaking roles: writing and presenting the Corporate Board Report for 13 Northern California hospitals, and later, helping to launch KP's very first website in the early 2000s—implementing tools we now take for granted like emailing your doctor, renewing prescriptions online, and even using early AI to track patient discussion trends. She was using AI before we even knew what it was! And did I mention she has authored over 600 publications?If that wasn't enough, she spent 20 years as a faculty member at San Francisco State University—and then reinvented herself again by founding the first company in the U.S. to offer continuing education units to nurses through international food and wine tourism. Her company, Wine Knows Travel, now operates in 13 countries around the world.Get ready for an inspiring conversation about vision, reinvention, and what it takes to be decades ahead of the curve. June's journey is a masterclass in innovation, leadership, and knowing when to break the mold.In the five-minute snippet: it's an old, I mean vintage word, and I love it.

Jessica opens up about why VBACs hold a special place in her heart, how resourcefulness and quick thinking translate across emergencies, and why every family—not just midwives—can benefit from basic birth and survival knowledge.We also dive into her Combat Midwife workshops and OB kit, created to prepare families and communities for emergencies, and discuss how midwifery and EMS share surprising historical roots. Whether you're a birth worker, parent, or simply curious about resilience in the face of the unexpected, this episode is full of insight, grit, and inspiration.

Season 6: Off the Record: The Hidden Curriculum of Design Business   They didn't teach you this in design school. You won't hear it in a CEU course. And most business coaches wouldn't dare say it out loud. This season of Designed for the Creative Mind is your backstage pass to the unspoken skills, strategic instincts, and hard-won wisdom that separate hobbyists from high-earning design business owners. From reading between a client's words, to knowing exactly when to say no (and how to do it without burning bridges), to spotting profit leaks before they sink you — these are the lessons I wish I'd learned sooner. I'm sharing the real stories, the actual scripts, and the business-building shortcuts I teach inside The Interior Design Business Bakery and The Lead Lab — so you can skip the fluff and build a business that's profitable, sustainable, and still lights you up creatively. Because running a design business isn't just about talent. It's about knowing the rules no one talks about… and when to break them.   We've all been told to go “above and beyond” for clients—but in your design business, overdelivering isn't a flex. It's a recipe for burnout, lower profits, and clients who constantly expect more for free. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why overdelivering backfires, how to set healthy boundaries, and the phrases I use to stop scope creep in its tracks (without feeling like the bad guy).  IN THIS EPISODE: The hidden financial cost of “just one more thing” for clients Why overdelivering trains your clients to expect freebies How to shift from giving extras out of ego to creating consistency that builds trust Scripts you can use when clients ask for something out of scope A real-life success story from one of my students who stopped overdelivering and started making more money If you've ever found yourself exhausted, resentful, or quietly frustrated because you're doing more than what was agreed to, this episode will hit home. Overdelivering feels good in the moment, but it creates long-term problems for your business. By learning how to deliver exactly what you promised—exceptionally well—you'll protect your profits, your client relationships, and your peace of mind.

Students with executive functioning challenges often intend to complete tasks or meet expectations—but struggle to execute consistently. The reason? They aren't mentally envisioning future scenarios, predicting the steps needed to reach a goal, and thinking about what they need to be doing NOW in order to meet that goal. This cognitive skill, called future pacing, allows students to visualize the process and outcome of their actions, building a critical link between planning and follow-through.In the third episode in my “Five Skills to Create Your Executive Functioning Intervention Framework”, I break it down in detail. What I'll uncover in this episode:✅ What future pacing is—and why it's essential for supporting goal-directed behavior and flexible thinking.✅ How future pacing interacts with skills like time perception, self-talk, and episodic memory.✅ Why students with executive functioning deficits often struggle to anticipate obstacles, sequence steps, or understand how present actions impact future outcomes.✅ Practical ways to teach students how to mentally rehearse tasks—bridging the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.✅ How building future pacing into interventions improves self-regulation, motivation, and task persistence.In this episode, I mentioned my upcoming free live virtual training hosted by Parallel Learning that's coming up on August 14, 2025 from 6:30-8:00 PM EST. It's called “Executive Functioning: Beyond Checklists and Planners”. You'll earn a free CEU, get to learn about a company that offers remote work opportunities, and get to learn some of the concepts I teach in my paid programs.

Episode Overview In this episode, sleep expert Emily Varon returns to the Behavioral Observations Podcast to share her deep expertise in sleep improvement—especially within the autism community. Drawing from 15 years of experience, Emily emphasizes personalized approaches, the role of wearable technology, and the importance of sensitivity when discussing sleep challenges with families. She also discusses new research on screen time and its true impact on sleep latency, offering insights that can reshape how behavior analysts approach sleep-related interventions. Key Topics Covered Personalized Sleep Strategies Why one-size-fits-all sleep advice doesn't work. How Emily uses wearables like the Oura Ring to identify sleep patterns and triggers. Note: check this out if you want to see if the Whoop Strap is a wearable technology is for you. The role of self-reflection and data tracking in improving sleep. Sleep Hygiene in the Autism Community Sleep as a primary reinforcer and the role of environmental variables. Key elements of good sleep hygiene: consistent schedules, avoiding late-night exercise, and structured bedtime routines. How these strategies apply equally to neurotypical and autistic individuals, with additional sensitivity for pre-existing diagnoses. Screens, Blue Light, and Sleep Latency The evolution of research on blue light and melatonin suppression. Insights from Michael Gradizar's 2024 study showing only a minor, non-significant delay in sleep onset from screens. Why user behavior matters more than blue light itself—and how behavior analysts can address it. Sleep Research Gaps in Autism The distinction between medical and non-medical sleep researchers. Why more targeted studies in autism are needed, despite data collection challenges. Behavioral tendencies—rather than autism itself—as key factors in sleep disruption. Screen Time, Social Media, and Self-Regulation How apps are designed to maximize engagement and reinforce continued use. The impact of device removal on children's emotions and behavior. Differences in personality and susceptibility to “dopamine hits” from scrolling. Children's Sleep and Screen Time Variability Why short shows like Bluey may help some kids wind down, while disrupting others. Understanding sleep architecture and how disruptions affect mood and regulation. Real-world examples of activities (like bedtime reading) that can unintentionally delay sleep. Approaching Sleep Conversations with Families The importance of avoiding yes/no questions about sleep problems. Asking open-ended questions about sleep satisfaction. Building trust with families so they feel comfortable prioritizing sleep interventions.

I'm often asked if I can create an “executive functioning lesson plan” that a clinician could do within a 20-minute therapy session with a student or group of students. I understand why people ask me for things like this. This traditional “pull-out” model of therapy is what many clinicians have been taught in our preservice training, and it's often what's focused on in professional development for clinicians. This model works well for many skills. It also plays a part in executive functioning intervention. But it's not enough. Doing “executive functioning” lesson plans without some type of support plan in place for other settings would be like a soccer player doing drills and conditioning without ever playing soccer. Does the right isolated work provide support and a foundation? Yes. Is it necessary? Also yes.But is it enough on its own, without direct application in the situation when those skills will be needed? Absolutely not. I know school teams are overwhelmed, and embedding support across a students' day requires systems and collaboration that aren't often in place in many schools (yet). It's a lot to ask, but it's what needs to happen. And with the right plan, it's possible-which is what I show school leaders how to do in the School of Clinical Leadership. That's why in this second episode in my series on “Five Skills to Create Your Executive Functioning Implementation Framework”, I cover the second skill: Self TalkWhat I cover in this episode:✅ The two distinct types of self-talk: Strategy self-talk and Self-belief self-talk✅ How self-talk integrates with other executive functions like time perception, future pacing, and episodic memory✅ The connection between self-talk and principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—and how to embed those principles into daily routines, not just therapy rooms✅ Why explicit instruction and modeling of self-talk helps students shift from reactive to proactive problem-solving✅ How deficits in self-talk can derail time management, task initiation, and flexible thinking—despite external supports✅ How to start working on self-talk with your students right away-even if you haven't built strong team collaboration systems yet.In this episode, I mentioned my upcoming free live virtual training hosted by Parallel Learning that's coming up on August 14, 2025 from 6:30-8:00 PM EST.
