Downtown Seattle Association’s Post

🙏 Thank You to Inside Out Wellbeing for our 3 day workshop experience🌟 From the very beginning, it was evident the workshop was meticulously designed to challenge us, broaden our perspectives, and encourage self-reflection. They created a safe and inclusive space for open dialogue, allowing us to engage in meaningful conversations. The collective wisdom and shared experiences of HM Inspectorate of Probation nurtured an environment where we could learn from one another and grow together. With a focus on enhancing our understanding of cultural competence and cultural humility, I believe the workshop has had profound impact.Through engaging discussions and interactive exercises, we were challenged to examine our own biases, assumptions, and privilege. They emphasized the importance of cultural competence; developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively engage with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. This understanding is vital in our work as it allows us to engage with others in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and understanding of their unique circumstances. Moreover, the workshop emphasized the importance of approaching our interactions with cultural humility, acknowledging that there is always more to learn and understand about different cultures and experiences. It encourages us to be open-minded, curious, and willing to listen and learn from others. This approach is invaluable in our work of assessing and supporting individuals in youth services and probation services, as it fosters a safe and inclusive environment where people feel understood and respected.

Having recently concluded my full-time summer tenure as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I wish to share the valuable social insights I've gained during these past few months in my Applied Behavior Analysis journey. First and foremost, I want to emphasize the significance of "pairing." Establishing a genuine connection with our clients stands as a paramount task for an RBT. Devoting time to nurture this connection throughout sessions is pivotal. It not only aids in achieving instructional control but also provides opportunities to closely observe our clients and their behaviors, allowing us to identify crucial factors such as precursors and more. Secondly, effective communication is indispensable within the clinic setting. Whether it involves interactions with clients, fellow RBTs, our BCBA regarding client BIPs or session goals, our Operations Manager for scheduling, or engaging in conversations with clients' parents about their well-being, maintaining open lines of communication is essential. This practice ensures the smooth execution of sessions and demonstrates our commitment to meeting our clients' needs comprehensively. Lastly, dedicating our utmost effort to our role is of utmost importance. This profession goes beyond the confines of a conventional 9-5 job. The work we invest during sessions is profoundly impactful, directly influencing the progress our clients make in ABA. Witnessing their growth and achievements, resulting from our diligent efforts, can truly make our entire day. In summary, my journey in ABA has been profoundly rewarding, and I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to continue evolving in this field. I am committed to absorbing every nugget of knowledge available, with the overarching goal of enhancing my role as an ABA therapist, a student, and, most importantly, as a person. #abatherapy

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝘂𝗽? A Fireman? A policeman? A Nurse? A Farmer? I wanted to become a Doctor... 🤦♂️ And everything was somewhat on track until, in my first year of studies, we were exposed to an operating theater... and I suddenly realized this was not quite my jam. On the one hand because I knew I would not be able to deal with body trauma on a daily basis. And on the other, because I realized I'm not really interested in medicine. 💡 Not the best thing to discover in your first year of study, but it allowed me to pursue other opportunities that I did feel more passionate about. ⏳ You see - life happens. And the professional goals you had when you were a child, or when you were nearing tertiary education, may not be the same aspirations you hold today. But I am willing to bet there is a goal of some sort, perhaps hiding under the covers. Something that, when someone asks you to dream a little, comes to the front of your mind immediately. 💥 Understanding - even in broad terms - what your longer term career aspirations are is a key step in helping you find purpose in the job you do right now. In our previous posts we outlined how to identify professional values and professional strengths. And in Step 3, we'll figure out where we are aiming over the long term. __________________________ 📣 This is Step 3 in a series on How to Find Purpose in your Current Work. 👉 Follow the series to learn how to find Purpose in your Current Position and how to maintain that purpose for greater benefit and reward. 💬 PS: Share your questions, comments or experience in the comments.

Yesterday, we celebrated American freedom. But what about your freedom in your career? Many of us stick with jobs and careers we don't love because they pay the bills and we think, “things could be worse.” This leads to complacency. I want to remind you that you have the freedom to choose a career you love. Take PTAs, for example. Many love their profession but face challenges such as limited income potential, restricted roles under physical therapists, and feeling undervalued. The Stretch Mobility Coach certification changes all that. It offers PTAs a new path to grow, expand, and create the life they want while making a more significant impact on their patients' lives. As we continue to celebrate freedom this weekend, consider how you can break free from the constraints of your career. If you’re a PTA ready for change, let’s talk! I can help you find the career freedom you deserve.
