Signing contracts that reach far, far outside the scope of our insurance, setting ourselves for a "six figure" legal defense that few of us could survive.

Alex Bybee sees educational equity as a moral imperative that is required to fulfill America's promise to our children. He brings this truth to his role as the Director of Strategic Partnerships for Communities in Schools of Nevada—the fifth-largest state office of the nation's leading dropout prevention organization that serves over 70,000 students in 75 schools across the Clark, Elko, Humboldt, and Washoe County school districts. Alex leads key strategic projects for the organization, builds relationships with elected and community stakeholders to amplify the impact of the mission, and advises the CEO on the education policy landscape. Previously, he worked for Teach Plus, where he served as the inaugural State Leader for Nevada and led his teachers in legislative efforts which preserved student outcomes as part of Nevada's teacher evaluation system and overhauled Nevada's decades-old school finance plan to achieve greater equity in the state's funding formula. A lifelong Nevadan, graduate of the Clark County School District (CCSD), and proud alumnus of the Honors Program at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), he is deeply and personally invested in the health, education, and wellbeing of Nevada's children and families. His passion for our education system dates back to his involvement as a student advocate in CCSD and at UNR, having served as the President of the Nevada Association of Student Councils, Chairman of the Nevada Youth Legislature and Vice President of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada. He stays actively engaged as a mentor, counselor and workshop presenter to each of the organizations for which he is an alum. For three years, Alex served on the steering committee and National Board of Governors for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) which envisions a world where LGBTQ people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community. He remains engaged as a volunteer and fundraiser for pro-equality candidates in Nevada. His most meaningful accomplishment is managing and leading the strategy for Save Our Schools Washoe in the 2016 election cycle, which brought together a diverse and broad-based coalition of partners that successfully campaigned for passage of a ballot initiative that provides a new and permanent funding stream for the construction and repair of Washoe County schools — an estimated $800 million over the next decade. Alex is an alumnus of the Jameson Fellowship and a member of the Leadership Las Vegas Class of 2020. He stays connected to his passion for civic discourse and independent journalism by serving as a moderator for the Sun Youth Forum and as a founding co-chair of the Advisory Board of The Nevada Independent. Outside of nonprofits and politics, he loves design, the arts, and being in nature. Connect with him on LinkedIn or tweet him at @AlexBybeeNV.

This week’s guest is a woman who’s been instrumental not only in Kelly’s own life but to the Las Vegas community and beyond. She’s been with Kelly through two divorces, trauma, relapse, and the ups and downs of being a single parent. At this point, you may not be surprised to hear that someone who’s had this much of a positive effect on Kelly’s life is actually her therapist. Despite what some might think, therapy isn’t a sign of weakness. In fact, it takes great courage and trust to open up and be vulnerable in that way. Roberta Vande Voort is a licensed marriage and family therapist who is the owner of Kayenta Therapy in Las Vegas. Roberta has worked in her own practice for 25 years and supports other men and women as they become therapists themselves. She has served as president of the Nevada Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and has received multiple honors for her work in the community. For this episode, Roberta explores female leadership and how women can encourage themselves and others to speak up and stand out. She talks about what she sees in her work - from the influence of technology all the way to the common conversations around self-worth - and what we can do to work through that. Throughout the conversation Roberta clues us in on her own mindset practices, and challenges us to join her to be more intentional about creating more ahhhh in her days through the wonder we left behind as children so we can find more  joy and vigor in our adult years.   The Finer Details of This Episode: - What drew Roberta to becoming a therapist and why she finds it to be a wonderful way to make a living. - How she ended up creating a community of therapists across the Las Vegas area. - Why she thinks social media has a disproportionate negative impact on people’s feelings. - The dual pressures women have to work with on the job and at home. - What you can do to broach difficult discussions at work while de-escalating potential conflict. - Taking a serious look at what’s actually motivating you to do your current work and getting over the fear of pivoting to something you find more fulfilling. - The shift Roberta is seeing with more women and girls taking a stand and questioning certain limits and rules. - Looking at the underlying factors that influence our behavior and some of the techniques being developed to better treat them. - What Roberta herself does to stay in a healthy, constructive mindset from day to day. - Roberta discusses her formative experience on the island of Crete and what unique traits she believes make women strong leaders. - Why women and men alike need more wonder and awe in there lives as they grow older. - What about Roberta’s children and grandchildren brings her the greatest joy nowadays. - WEEKLY CHALLENGE: ask yourself what you can do to bring more of those wondrous “ahhhhh” moments in your day. Quotes: “Therapists are like everybody else: they’re all nuts.” “We’re trying to shift generations of mindset in order to have this sense of ‘we’re just people working together’.” “Don’t let somebody else choose for you who you are.” “We all have so much to offer. We just have to figure out what that is and what it looks like.” “We’ve got so much to learn about how our brain works and how it works really very much like our body.” “My ideas are just as good, they’re just as valuable, they may be a little bit different because I am female, but they’re amazing.” Guest Links: Kayenta Therapy - https://kayentatherapy.com/ Roberta’s therapist profile - https://kayentatherapy.com/therapists/vande-voort-roberta/ Show Links: Kelly’s homepage - http://www.kellytravis.net Podcast homepage - http://www.kellytravis.net/podcast

Well I meant to have this episode out before my interview with Steve Hayes, but the timing was such that it made more sense to have Steve's episode published ASAP in case people were interested in participating in the ACT Bootcamp for Behavior Analysts (and if you do decide to go, use the promo code BOP to save $50 on registration). As such, there may be some references in my chat with Dr. Nick Berens about my interview-to-be with Steve. So I apologize for any confusing anachronisms. That said, I don't think the poor timing on my part detracts from the content that Nick brought to this conversation. If you're not familiar with Nick, here is his bio: Dr. Berens received his Ph.D. in behavior analysis from the University of Nevada under the supervision of Dr. Steven Hayes. He has served on several professional boards including the Standard Celeration Society, Nevada Association for Behavior Analysis, and the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science’s education special interest group.  Berens is an experienced applied researcher and has published and presented in the areas of core behavioral process related to language and development, the merits of the scientist practitioner model, Relational Frame Theory, Precision Teaching, and program evaluation. He has spent the last 10 years researching and developing the Fit Learning system of instruction.  This system targets areas such as basic classroom readiness, core processing speed, phonemic awareness, reading fluency, reading comprehension, language-based comprehension, basic and advanced mathematics, grammar, expressive writing, logic, problem solving, and Executive Functioning.  He and the Fit Learning team have implemented the system with over 1,000 children ages 3-18 years old.  These children have presented with a variety of skill levels and diagnoses including children diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, learning disabilities including AD/HD, Dyslexia, Dygraphia, Dyscalcula, Auditory Processing Disorder, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, and struggling learners, as well as, gifted students.  The Fit Learning system has consistently been shown to produce one year’s growth in 8-weeks. Nick in deep thought... ... and if the name Berens sounds familiar, in Session 44, I spoke with his better half as it were, Dr. Kim Berens, who described how Fit Learning was founded and what it's evolved into today. In this episode, Nick discussed the role of Relational Frame Theory as it relates to the work that they do at Fit Learning. As Steve did, Nick makes the case that derived relational responses are operants that are critical to language development. Likewise, we take a minute to discuss objections to RFT, and what he thinks about those who remain skeptical of this approach to understanding language development (and for those who are a little tired of all this ACT/RFT stuff, we'll have some other topics featured over the next few episodes). We didn't get too heavy into references, but Nick did suggest a few resources for folks to look into if they want to learn more: Dr. Eric Fox's online RFT tutorial. Learning RFT: An introduction to Relational Frame Theory and its Clinical Application, by Niklas Torneke, MD. And here are some of the publications by the Fit team Nick mentioned: School, Meds, and Moms- Using the Standard Celeration Chart for a Contextual Analysis of Behavior Putting the Precision in Precision Teaching- Using the Standard Celeration Chart for Ongoing Assessment Discovery Through the Lens of the Standard Celeraton Chart- Informing and Facilitating Inductive Intervention Strategies Assessing Functional Relations- The Utility of the Standard Celeration Chart I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Why don’t our kids do what we want them to do? In our modern highly-connected age it sometimes seems as though children have less self-control than ever. To offer us some behavioral insight, journalist and parenting expert Katherine Reynolds Lewis joined us with revelations from her book The Good News About Bad Behavior. She met for a conversation with KIRO 7 News reporter Patranya Bhoolsuwan to explore the ways we can instill the values of independence, responsibility, and self-regulation in our kids without falling into old (and, she says, fallible) patterns of punishment and reward. Lewis and Bhoolsuwan discussed the Apprenticeship Model—Lewis’ new theory of discipline that centers on the art of self-control. Blending new scientific research and powerful individual stories of change, Lewis asserted that if we trust our children to face consequences they will learn to adapt and moderate their own behavior. Lewis and Bhoolsuwan explored the successful accounts of this model—chaotic homes becoming peaceful, bewildered teachers seeing progress, and Lewis’ own family growing and evolving in light of these new ideas. Join Lewis and Bhoolsuwan for a journey down the path to developing more capable and kind behaviors for everyone in your home, including yourself. Katherine Reynolds Lewis is an award-winning independent journalist based in the Washington D.C. area whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, Fortune, The New York Times, Parade, Slate, The Washington Post and Working Mother. Her 2015 story for Mother Jonesmagazine about school discipline was the site’s most-viewed piece. Before going solo in 2008, she worked as a national correspondent for Newhouse News Service writing about money, work and family, and as a national reporter for Bloomberg News covering everything from orange crop reports and media policy to presidential campaigns. Patranya Bhoolsuwan is an Emmy award-winning reporter for Seattle’s KIRO 7 news, and former reporter and weekend anchor at KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas. It was there where she won the title of “Best Reporter” by the Nevada Association of Broadcasters. She has also worked as an anchor and reporter in Redding, Reno, and Washington DC, as well as working as a writer/producer for KRON-TV in San Francisco.

www.jkbelz.com J.K. Belz & Associates: Grassroots lobbying is important because government must know your wishes before it can respond to them -- it is simply the art of communicating with your elected officials. This is the basis of government "of the people, by the people, and for the people". In the news, we hear about professional lobbyists who attempt to influence legislation and policy through various means. Grassroots lobbying is when everyday citizens contact their own legislators to try to influence legislation and policy. Advocacy groups of all kinds engage in grassroots lobbying, asking their members to call and write their legislators about a piece of legislation. Jeanette Belz founder and President of J.K. Belz & Associates has been working in the public/private sector since the 80’s until relocating to Nevada in 1995 to serve as President/CEO for the Nevada Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. Her company provides customized facilitation, mediation, governmental relations and special business services to trade/professional organizations, corporate and not-for-profit clients.
