Episode 304 - (ETHICS) The Ethics of Meaningful Goals w/ Dr. Shanna Bahry
19 Mar 2025
While most of us engage with goal writing, have you ever stopped to think whether the goals you've proposed to your client are…pointless? If so, put down your bopy of "101 Great Trigonometry Objectives" and join us and special guest, Dr. Shanna Bahry, to explore resources for crafting goals with your clients that might actually lead them to a productive, happier adulthood. We review some useful tools from Dr. Bahry, some pointers for how to use (and NOT use) many popular assessments, and discuss where and when those trigonometry goals could meaningfully come into play. Yes, there's a time and place for every goal. This episode is available for 1.0 ETHICS CEU.
