Episode Eighteen (part two) - CrossPolliNation Podcast

Part two:
What do Atilla the Hun, Notorious B.I.G., and behaviour analysis have in common? Tune in to find out! We meet again with our across-the-pond pals to talk about interacting with humans on a less robotic level. For some of us, these skills don't come easily and we often fail to realise the power behind our interactions. Come with us on a reflective journey where we discuss the value of complex internal behaviours and how our intentions may not always hit their mark. We can't see the galaxy for the stars; we've become so focused on goals at hand that we've overlooked all the staff, caregivers, and clients behaviour that are standing in the way. So buckle in, adjust your ear buds, and prepare for you inflight discussion on the value of evaluating our own public and private behaviour and the impact on the work we set out to accomplish.

Episode Sixteen - PERMA

Guest - Steve Wilson:
Hi ya, I'm Steve, 52 years young and my family (which includes my dog), road trips in our VW van, being outdoors, exercising to music and football make me happy. People with a learning disability have been in my life since 1992 when I started my Learning disability nursing course; all I have been striving to do since is support others to experience happiness and joy and to feel connected to others. I am a massive fan of David Pitonyak and Martin Seligman, with their work proving to be a source of inspiration and motivation for me. I strive to address Seligman's principle of 'it's not enough just to nullify disabling conditions,' by promoting PERMA within services so they can help those who they support to flourish. My long term ambition is that PERMA can become a way of life within all services who support people with learning disabilities.
