Who am I becoming as a professional? Which contingencies still support meaningful work? And which don't anymore? What's possible next?
These questions don't have technical answers. But behavior analysis still has something to say about them.
Tyra Sellers, JD, PhD, BCBA-D | Linda LeBlanc, PhD, BCBA-D, Lic Psy | Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi, EdD, BCBA, LBA | Sarah Lichtenberger, PhD, BCBA-D bring a candid, reflective conversation to :
🌱 Identity and Becoming: A Behavior-Analytic Conversation About Identity, Values, and How We Are Shaped Across Our Careers
This panel applies the same behavioral concepts we use to understand client behavior - selection by consequences, reinforcement history, rule governance, motivating operations, values-consistent-choice - to our own professional becoming.
They'll explore the many pathways careers actually take:
🔹 Growth through practice and skill acquisition
🔹 Change through choice and commitment
🔹 Transformation through constraint and loss
🔹 Development through reflection and refinement
This panel normalizes what so many of us experience but rarely discuss: transition, uncertainty, and reinvention as expected parts of a long career, not signs that something has gone wrong.
This will be fully interactive, with live polls and audience questions via the BehaviorLive platform throughout the session.
You'll leave with:
✅ A framework for understanding values as motivating operations in career decisions
✅ A behavioral lens for your own professional becoming: past, present, and future
✅ A structured self-reflection process to identify one values-consistent change in your practice
