Welcome to Behaviorally Speaking: Leadership for Changemakers, the podcast where leadership meets behavior science, and where educators, clinicians, and everyday humans come to grow.

Hosted by Dr. Esther C. Bubb, special educator, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, administrator, mentor, and lifelong believer in bringing out the best in people, this show is rooted in over two decades of experience across early childhood programs, schools, behavioral health, higher education, and systems-level leadership.

Across her journey, Dr. Bubb discovered one powerful truth: Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a behavior: teachable, learnable, and measurable. And when we apply the science of behavior to how we lead? Transformative things happen. Teams become more resilient, children thrive, confidence grows, and work becomes more meaningful and aligned.

This podcast is your weekly invitation to reflect, reset, and rise. You’ll get practical strategies, leadership frameworks, behavior-analytic tools, inspiring stories, personal-growth practices, and real conversations about leading with clarity, purpose, and heart.

Whether you’re a teacher, BCBA, parent, supervisor, administrator, therapist, counselor, or simply a human striving to show up better in the world, you’re right where you belong.

So take a deep breath. Grab your notebook. And join Dr. Bubb on a leadership journey grounded in science, strengthened by compassion, and designed for changemakers.
