📢New publication alert! with my colleagues Sandra Ruby Derek Reed Byron Wine ❓ We surveyed BCBAs to determine what variables contribute to their turnover. ❗ Burnout, pay and benefits, supervision and mentorship, collegiality and professional relationships, ethical violations, and training and development were all endorsed variables. We recommend ways to mitigate turnover by addressing variables of concern for BCBAS: 😫 To address burnout, organizations can provide psychological flexibility training, model proactive strategies, and build self-care strategies and job crafting into organizational processes. 💲 To address pay and benefits, organizations can evaluate whether their salaries are competitive or commensurate with where their BCBAs live. 🤝 To address supervision and mentorship, performance management procedures (Novak et al., 2019) must be championed across all levels of the organization. 🤝 To address collegiality and professional relationships, organizations can conduct process-level analysis and an analysis of their culture. ❌ To address ethics, organizations can provide ongoing ethics training that includes information on how to approach various situations professionally. 📝 To address training and professional development, organizations can provide training on best-practice supervision or ongoing coaching. We need to support BCBAs, too. Read more here: https://rdcu.be/dWvw9

Love this quote from Minnesota Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch: "It's always been--you have to learn how to compete. Then, you have to learn how to always compete. Then, you have to learn to compete at the high levels. When you do that, you are always going to give yourself a chance to win." I'll post the video link in the comments. Go attack this afternoon, #compete, and give yourself a chance to win the day! #linkedinsports

With the 2024 MLB Draft in the books, let's take a look at how I would approach the process of evaluating and acquiring amateur talent for an organization. It isn't always enough to draft the best talent; you have to draft them with the understanding of how they fit in the organization, the cadence in which they arrive on the 40-man roster, and the logistics of your operations.

😮 Check out these awesome Esports Championship rings for the students competing in the United States Academic Esports League. Interested in getting one of your own??? It's easy! Here is what you need to do... 1. Gather a squad of enthusiastic gamers (bonus points if they can actually agree on one game to play as a team). 2. Bring the USAEL to your school and become the champion of academic esports (capeless heroes welcome). 3. Develop soft skills like leadership, teamwork, perseverance, and more – because gaming isn’t just about button mashing! 4. Dive into USAEL's curriculum to explore careers in broadcasting, business, and coding, all through the epic lens of esports (because who said learning shouldn't be fun?). 5. Improve critical thinking and strategic planning skills by analyzing game mechanics and developing winning strategies (who knew all those hours of playing could pay off?). 6. Enhance communication skills as students coordinate with teammates and present their ideas clearly (yes, those lunch-table strategy sessions do count). 7. Foster a sense of community and belonging among students as they work together towards a common goal (because nothing says friendship like a well-coordinated team combo). 8. Encourage healthy competition and sportsmanship, teaching students how to win gracefully and lose with dignity (rage quitters need not apply). 9. Prepare and compete in United States Academic Esports League's Fall or Spring season competition. Reach the finals for a chance to win one of these coveted Academic Esports Championship rings. It's that easy! 😁 #academicesports Dr. Katrina Adkins Alan Sitomer Richard Conti Benjamin O'Gradney Anji Ison Jill Ranucci

Esports has found it’s place in K-12 and Higher Ed and is growing rapidly in schools. I am excited to see it’s growth, because it is a space that allows students to find their place when maybe they haven’t in the past. It’s not just about the gaming, it’s about being part of a team, finding friendships, and having the competive edge. Smith System® can help create a gaming environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, and teamwork that fosters success. It’s not about rearranging a current computer lab to make a gaming room, it’s about providing a space that celebrates and encourages achievement.

In the competitive world of #collegesports, gaining visibility and attention from coaches can be tough, especially for students from smaller towns. This can leave talented but under-marketed athletes overlooked, particularly at the DI & DII level. Strategies to connect with coaches when you lack visibility: https://bit.ly/3XZXDBt #collegerecruiting #2adays

Campus visits are a key moment in recruiting, but too often they’re filled with unnecessary meetings. If you want to make an impression, focus on quality over quantity. Let recruits spend time with your younger athletes, getting to know the culture of your program. At the end of the visit, don’t be afraid to ask for a commitment face-to-face. That personal connection can make all the difference and turn a good visit into a great one.
