While digital communication is its own communicative art, there is much to be said about the value in hearing someone's voice, analyzing their body language, and understanding the words that aren't said. While hostage negotiation sounds like it may only be applicable to crisis situations, the foundational principles of tactical empathy, active listening, and calibrated questions are imperative to help remove defensiveness and build a bridge with ANYONE--- even those whose views you cannot fathom. In this presentation, cutting edge research as to hostage negotiation strategies, Socratic questioning, and cult exiting techniques will be applied to collaborative, professional relationships--- and to showing unconditional positive regard for the ideas we find most difficult.

Kayla Perry is a Board- Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began her career as a researcher, fresh out of her Clinical Psychology degree. While she jokes that her Master's in Clinical Psychology could have been an entire Bachelor's because of how long it took, it proved to Kayla the necessity for civil discourse in human-service fields, and how actively engaging with other's thoughts has a humanizing element. Wanting to bridge the gap between Clinical Psychology and thoughts-focused theory and more action-based intervention, she went on to pursue her Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis. She now owns a private practice, works with supervision students using a unique, Socratic-based supervision curriculum, and teaches Clinical Psychology courses at the university level.Kayla is one of our highly-anticipated speakers. She is an outspoken crusader of common sense approaches to today’s “challenges” in our field. She champions free-thought and respectful debate.
