Summary
Happy New Year!!! I couldn't imagine a better way to kick off 2018. Megan Miller returns to The Behavioral Observations Podcast to inform us of a movement-of-sorts that she is kicking off in this new year. Specifically, Megan is rolling out a multi-media campaign of professional development for 12 consecutive months. She is calling this the "Do Better Movement." And before you get the wrong idea, it's not intended to be preachy or judgmental per se. Instead, it is meant to be a call for practitioners at all stages to strive for continues improvement. This is an idea I can surely get behind. In this episode, Megan discusses the specific topics for each month of 2018, as well as the content that she will release to support these practice areas. Each month will include a webinar, YouTube video, blog post, and more for each focus topic. If you want to get involved, here are some links that you'll want to know about: The Navigation Behavioral Consulting Facebook Page (you'll want to like and follow it) The Navigation Behavioral Consulting Instagram Page The "Do-Better" Slack Group Special thanks to Chartlytics.com, Operantcoffee.com, and The Georgia Autism Providers Conference for sponsoring today's show.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Behavioral Observations Podcast with Matt Secoria, session number 43. |
| 0:12.3 | Welcome to the Behavioral Observations podcast, stimulating talk for today's behavior analysts. |
| 0:19.7 | Now here's your host, Matt Secoria. |
| 0:24.0 | Hey, everyone. |
| 0:24.9 | Happy New Year. |
| 0:25.9 | Welcome to Session 43 of the Behavioral Observations podcast. |
| 0:30.6 | I am so excited to share this episode with you today because I can't think of a better |
| 0:33.8 | way to start off 2018 than with this conversation with Dr. Megan Miller about |
| 0:39.8 | how to do better in the new year. What do we mean by doing better? Well, she gets into that |
| 0:47.1 | in pretty good detail, so I won't spoil it here. But I do want to just mention that doing better |
| 0:52.0 | doesn't necessarily mean that this is a guilt trip. In other words, |
| 0:55.4 | we're not trying to say, you're doing it wrong and you need to do it better. No, no, no, no. |
| 0:59.9 | What we do talk about is the idea of a focus on continuous professional development. And we get |
| 1:07.8 | into why that's important regardless of what stage of practice you're in. |
| 1:11.3 | In other words, whether you have just passed the examiner starting your first job, |
| 1:15.8 | or if you're an old-timer like me and been doing this for a while, |
| 1:18.8 | there are important lessons to be learned about the things that we talk about today, |
| 1:23.4 | regardless of where you are on your practice timeline. |
| 1:26.7 | So I hope you get a lot of information out of this and inspiration to do better in 2018. |
| 1:34.6 | And we'll give you all the resources to make that happen as well. |
| 1:38.6 | So I also want to let you know that we recorded this over the Christmas vacation, and there |
| 1:46.6 | were a lot of, let's say, personal interruptions throughout the podcast, and I put those in the air |
