Behaviorally Speaking: Leadership for Change-Makers
Welcome to Behaviorally Speaking: Leadership for Change-Makers, where leadership meets behavior science — and where educators, clinicians, and humans grow. This podcast is designed for people who lead with purpose — in classrooms, agencies, early childhood programs, clinical settings, school districts, and communities. Hosted by Dr. Bubb, this show bridges leadership, applied behavior analysis, and real-world practice to help you become the most grounded, effective, and inspiring version of yourself.
This podcast is built on three simple beliefs:
- Leadership is learned.
- Leadership is lived.
- Leadership is behavior.
And when we understand behavior — our own and others’ — we unlock the ability to create meaningful, lasting change.
From navigating difficult conversations, to building resilient teams, to strengthening emotional intelligence and reflective practice, every episode gives you actionable tools rooted in behavior science, leadership theory, and decades of hands-on experience in early intervention, special education, supervision, systems development, and organizational transformation.
Whether you’re:
- a school or program leader
- a behavior analyst or mental health professional
- an educator or service provider
- an emerging leader finding your voice
- or someone committed to personal growth and meaningful impact
…this podcast is your place to learn, grow, and lead courageously.
Each week, we explore:
- Leadership behaviors that build trust, inspire others, and strengthen teams.
- Small, powerful actions that move people — grounded in behavioral principles.
- Evidence-Based Leadership
- How ABA concepts like reinforcement, shaping, feedback, self-management, and data-based decision making strengthen leadership effectiveness.
- The Human Side of Leadership
- Emotional intelligence, resilience, belonging, values-driven action, and motivational tools that bring out the best in people.
- Real-world stories from early childhood, special education, and clinical practice
- Leadership lessons from over two decades of program supervision, team development, crisis support, and interagency collaboration.
- Reflective Practice & Self-Leadership
- Because the most important person you lead is yourself.
Why This Podcast Matters
In education, early childhood, ABA, and human services, leadership is more than management: it’s relationship, clarity, compassion, and behavioral integrity.
Too often, leaders rise into roles without the mentorship or tools to thrive.
Too often, new and seasoned professionals doubt their ability to influence change.
And too often, people underestimate the power of their daily behaviors.
This podcast exists to change that.
Behaviorally Speaking: Leadership for Change-Makers helps you:
- lead with confidence
- communicate with clarity
- create cultures where people feel seen and supported
- make decisions aligned with values
- develop others intentionally
- and build systems that work for children, families, and teams
When leaders grow, everyone grows — from staff, to students, to entire organizations.
Dr. Bubb’s mission for this podcast is simple: help people lead well — and live well.

ABOUT Evangelist Dr. Monay Legette, Ed.D
Evangelist Dr. Monay Legette began her educational journey at Kenderton K-8 school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a learning support teacher. Dr. Legette remained at Kenderton for 11 years where she became the Special Education Liaison and then the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students position transitioned her to lead at a different school, Hartranft K-8 school, also located in Philadelphia.
Dr. Legette decided to leave the administrative field and go back into teaching to be closer to home with her young growing family. However, this did not last long, within a year she became the director of special education at Bristol Borough school district. This position provided opportunities for her to connect with the Bucks County Intermediate Unity where she obtained a job as a Program Coordinator of St. Katharine Drexel School, a residential facility, which she provided services for 7 years.
Dr. Legette is currently the principal of Samuel Everitt School, a Bucks IU center-based school, where she provides services for high school and transition aged students. Throughout Dr. Legette’s educational journey, she continued her faith journey where she became a licensed evangelist. Dr. Legette’s faith-based background has been the foundation of her leadership beliefs, style, and delivery. Dr. Legette believes that being a leader is not leading from the front but providing guidance from the side and encouragement from behind which will illuminate others’ strengths and give them courage to meet their true potential.
The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.
