Situation Saturday

Situation Saturday is a weekly space offering humor-based leadership moments, behavior-inspired insights, and relatable workplace situations that highlight the everyday realities of professional life. Each Saturday, Dr. Esther Bubb shares short, intentional “situations with a hint of humor” rooted in behavior science, leadership experience, and real-world context to bring lightness, clarity, and awareness to how human behavior shows up at work.

These situations are designed to make you laugh first, then think, capturing the small but familiar moments in leadership, communication, and decision-making that many professionals experience but rarely say out loud. Situation Saturday uses humor as an entry point to explore patterns of persistence, communication, pressure, and everyday leadership behavior.

As part of the Behaviorally Speaking Leadership Lab—a weekly leadership lab where change-makers learn, test, and apply behavior-based strategies for real-world impact—Situation Saturday invites you to find meaning in the moment, laughter in the process, and insight in the everyday.

Laugh at the situation. Learn from the behavior. Lead with perspective.
