Fantastic presentation and discussion. Thank you!

Stephanie B.

This wa such an insightful training. I had so many "yes ma'am" moments. I particularly liked how she brought to light that the terminology within ABA is not the only way to state things and or explain things. We want to teach our learners to not be rigid, and we really need to model that behavior. As a field it makes us look like snobs.

What an incredibly inspiring topic and class facilitated by Ms. Ulezi! Just when I thought I had a vast understanding of leadership, both through experience and theory, "Leadership as a Value" proves to be revolutionary. It emphasizes the importance of leading with vision, where our vision is a true reflection of our own values. This presentation has been truly impactful.

Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi is an incredible speaker. Her words are so powerful and really help you to realize how important it is to be reflective and the power of being ok with not knowing. Every behavior analyst should listen to this!

This was the most valuable CEU content I've taken in years. I really appreciated the speaker's viewpoint and the way she shared information.

This course will provide a healthy, strong, and practical framework from which to build all of your supervision practices. I wish this was a course required for all behavior analysts. My favorite quote from the presentation, "f behaviorists were more humble, their effectiveness as scientists would increase." (Neuringer, 1991). Thank you sincerely Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi
