BCBA Career Strategy Session

A focused 60-minute coaching session to help you clarify your direction, make an informed decision, and identify your next step.

This Is for the BCBA Who...

• Loves being a BCBA but no longer loves the way their current role requires them to work

• Dreads Mondays more than they used to and wonders whether they can continue on the same path for another five or ten years

• Feels overextended, professionally boxed in, or disconnected from the work that originally brought them into the field

• Wants more autonomy, flexibility, and control without abandoning their experience or starting an entirely new career

• Has considered independent practice, consulting, caregiver-led services, BCBA-direct work, leadership, education, content creation, or another alternative path

• Has several ideas but struggles to determine which direction is realistic, sustainable, and aligned with their strengths

• Is tired of collecting information and ready to make an intentional decision

• Wants a career or business model that fits their life—not a life that must continually bend around their job

You do not need a finished business plan or a perfectly defined career goal. You may be at the very beginning, actively building, or standing at a professional crossroads.

This session is for the BCBA who knows something needs to change and is ready to clarify what comes next.

Why a Strategy Session

Independent work can involve competing priorities, unfamiliar decisions, and more than one possible direction. This focused coaching session gives you space to step back, clarify what you want, and determine your next best step.

Together, we can:

• Clarify your professional goals and priorities

• Explore career, business, or independent-practice possibilities

• Identify barriers keeping you from moving forward

• Pressure-test an offer, idea, price, system, or professional direction

• Turn broad ideas into practical, achievable next steps

• Consider how your decisions align with your strengths, values, and desired lifestyle

This is not about being told which path to follow. It is a collaborative conversation designed to help you make intentional decisions about the career, service, or business you want to build.

What We Can Work Through

Your session will focus on one primary goal, idea, or decision. Potential areas include:

• Career direction and alternative paths for BCBAs

• Transitioning into independent or BCBA-led work

• Defining a professional service, audience, or offer

• Independent-practice structure and service models

• Pricing, positioning, and messaging

• Business organization and operational workflows

• Ethical marketing and professional communication

• Website copy, social content, and outreach strategies

• Technology platforms and documentation systems

• Prioritizing ideas and creating an actionable next-step plan

You remain the decision-maker and determine which ideas or recommendations are appropriate for your professional circumstances.
