𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 | 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟰: 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵

Let’s talk about the follow-up fatigue…
You delegate a task.
It gets dropped.
You follow up.
Still nothing.
So you just do it yourself. Again.

Sound familiar?

This week in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, we’re tackling the pattern that keeps supervisors stuck in over-functioning mode — and what to do instead.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside:
✔️ The silent mistake that turns you into the system
✔️ One question to shift how you handle dropped tasks
✔️ A mini-action to reclaim your energy and authority (without micromanaging)

The Elevate Connection is a free weekly email for BCBA® supervisors who want to make supervision clearer, lighter, and more collaborative.

Hey y'all—can we talk about something that’s been on my mind?

You know that moment when you're deep in a report, and a message pops up:
"Should I prompt this?"
"Is this okay?"
"Do I run the program like this or that?"

It’s not annoying because the questions are bad.
It’s draining because we haven’t built the systems that let RBTs® answer confidently on their own.

The truth? Most training stops at the Competency Assessment.
That’s the floor, not the ceiling. And when RBTs® aren’t empowered to make real-time clinical decisions, the weight falls back on us.

That’s what led me to create this CEU:
Decision-Ready RBTs: Supervision Strategies That Build Autonomy and Protect Your Time

It’s about making our supervision more sustainable—and giving RBTs® the tools they deserve to show up with clarity and confidence.

Inside, you'll get:
✔️ 1.5 CEUs (Supervision + Ethics)
✔️ A full Decision-Making Toolkit
✔️ 10 real-world case studies
✔️ Autonomy Competency Checklist + Booster Plan
✔️ BONUS: ASCEND RBT® Autonomy & Decision-Making Assessment

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 | 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟯: 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸

Let’s be honest — giving feedback shouldn’t feel like a risk.
But for a lot of supervisors, it still does.
✔️ You’ve avoided it because it felt awkward.
✔️ Or blurted it out at the wrong time.
✔️ Or softened it so much, it didn’t even land.

This week in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, we’re talking about how to 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 the way we approach 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 — so it becomes a tool for growth, not conflict.

Inside this issue:
✔️ One sentence that can change the energy in the room
✔️ A leadership moment that didn’t go as planned — and what it taught me
✔️ A micro-shift to help feedback feel lighter and more relational

The Elevate Connection is a weekly email for BCBA® supervisors who want supervision to feel clearer, lighter, and more effective.

𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆

As supervisors, we pour so much into others. But we can’t prevent burnout in our teams if we’re running on empty ourselves.

This week’s reminder: 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 — 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

That’s why ASCEND is more than an assessment tool. It’s a system that:
✔️ Keeps supervision consistent
✔️ Builds RBT® growth step by step
✔️ Reduces supervisor stress through structure

Imagine starting next week knowing your RBT® growth is guided, measured, and supported — without extra work on your plate.

That’s ASCEND. See how it works → https://shop.masteraba.academy/ascend?am_id=christi2380

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 > 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

You don’t need a full meeting to check in.
You just need better questions.

Ask: “What’s been the hardest part of your week?”
Then ask: “What helped you feel most confident?”

These two prompts can:
✔️ Surface early signs of burnout
✔️ Strengthen trust
✔️ Lead to fewer surprise resignations

Save this for your next session — and tell me: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺?

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗕𝗧®𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 “𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯.”

They’re quitting because supervision isn’t designed to keep them.

Burnout doesn’t start with laziness — it starts with disconnection, unclear expectations, and emotional fatigue.

If you're exhausted from re-teaching the same things over and over...

If turnover is draining your time and your heart...

It’s time for a change.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 gives you:
✔ The real reasons RBTs® burn out (they’re not what you think)
✔ Simple systems that reduce turnover — without micromanagement
✔ A framework for compassionate, sustainable supervision

Feeling like your supervision schedule is running you instead of the other way around?

You're not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong.
You might just need a structural reset.

In this week’s issue of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, we’re diving into 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁: 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 — and how the right systems can create more space, not more rigidity.

Here’s a peek at what’s inside:
✔️ A quick mindset shift about “open-door” chaos
✔️ A story that might sound a lot like your day
✔️ A 2-minute micro-action to start regaining control of your time

Supervision shouldn’t feel like juggling sticky notes, Google Sheets, and mental checklists.

That’s why I built ASCEND — the RBT® Assessment System that helps supervisors:
Track RBT growth with real data
Reduce overwhelm
Build consistency without adding more work

Supervision Tip: Feedback sticks best when you pause before you respond.

Instead of jumping in with corrections, ask your RBT first:
“What did you notice?”
“What went well?”

This one shift turns feedback into a conversation — and RBTs learn faster when they reflect first.
