| Great Leaders Talk Before There's Anything to Fix | 01 sept. 2026 | 01:07:35 | |
Not every workplace problem starts with bad employees. Sometimes it starts with leaders avoiding the conversations that matter most. In this episode, the hosts unpack a real workplace scenario that reveals how poor communication, delayed feedback, and leadership avoidance can quietly damage trust, morale, and employee performance. Through the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), they explore why conversations are often postponed, how silence becomes reinforced within organizations, and what leaders can do to create a culture built on feedback, accountability, and psychological safety. The discussion goes beyond communication strategies to examine why talented employees become disengaged, how workplace environments shape behavior, and why effective leadership requires coaching before problems escalate. They also tackle the concept of "acting your wage," setting healthy professional boundaries, and knowing when to influence change versus when to step back. Blending behavior science with relatable workplace stories and candid conversations, this episode delivers practical leadership strategies that managers, supervisors, HR professionals, behavior analysts, and aspiring leaders can apply immediately. Whether leading a team, navigating workplace conflict, or building a stronger organizational culture, listeners will gain actionable insights to improve communication, strengthen leadership skills, and create environments where people and organizations thrive. š² Follow on Instagram @EveryDayABA.3Ā šļø Like discounts?

| How to Deal With Difficult People | 10 fƩvr. 2026 | 00:59:16 | |
This week, the hosts examine why labeling people as difficult often obscures what is actually happening behaviorally and how applied behavior analysis (ABA) provides a clearer, more functional framework.

The discussion spans workplace conflict, consulting relationships, family dynamics, and emotional labor, highlighting how reinforcement, emotional regulation, urgency, and miscommunication can unintentionally maintain ineffective interaction patterns. The hosts also address how cultural context, identity-related stressors, and lived experiences can influence behavior without resorting to diagnoses, excuses, or personality-based labels. This episode offers a behavior-based approach for professionals who feel emotionally drained, stuck in cycles of over-explaining, or uncertain about whether continued engagement in a relationship is productive. Listeners are provided with practical tools grounded in ABA to support clearer decision-making, healthier boundaries, and reduced burnout.

Brittanny shares her journey of self-awareness, reflecting on how her direct communication style can sometimes come across as aggressive, while Paola highlights gender biases in communication, explaining how women are often labeled ātoo directā or ādifficultā in the workplace for behaviors that are reinforced in others. Grounding the conversation in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the episode reframes communication as a behavior with a function, emphasizing a key ABA principle: communication isnāt effective unless it produces the intended response from the listener.

| A Personal SWOT Analysis Using Behavioral Science to Reflect, Reset, and Plan Your Next Stage | 27 janv. 2026 | 00:52:55 | |
This week, Paola, Leslie, and Brittanny break down how a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) can be used far beyond business strategy and applied to personal growth, career planning, and professional sustainability. Using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and psychology lens, the conversation explores how strengths reflect reinforced behaviors, weaknesses often signal skill or system gaps, and how environmental opportunities and threats influence decision-making, burnout, and follow-through. The hosts model the process by sharing their own podcast SWOT analysis, offering a real-world example of reflective practice and values-aligned planning. This episode emphasizes that reflection without action isnāt enough.

| Listening Styles: Are You Listening to Agree, Fix, or Argue? | 20 janv. 2026 | 00:58:31 | |
We all think weāre good listenersā¦ until weāre in conflict. In this episode of Everyday ABA, hosts Paola, Brittany, and Leslie break down listening styles. Not how we talk, but how we hear; and, why listening is often the real reason communication falls apart. Using applied behavior analysis (ABA), psychology, and real-life examples from their own dynamic, they explore five common communication styles: listening to respond, listening to agree, listening to disagree, listening to understand, and listening to win. Paola unpacks what it means to listen for solutions. Leslie explores validation and people-oriented listening. Brittany dives into critical listening and why disagreement isnāt always rejection. Together, they explain how different listening styles are reinforced, how mismatched listening leads to conflict at work and in relationships, and how to adjust your communication based on what the conversation actually needs. Whether youāre navigating workplace communication, leadership conversations, relationships, or parenting, this episode will help you identify your own listening style, understand others better, and communicate more effectively. If youāve ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or frustrated during conversations, this episode will change how you listen. ā Support your favorite ABA podcast hosts by showing them love at buymeacoffee.com/everydayaba ā Help EveryDay ABA reach more people by following the show + , turning on automatic downloads, and leaving a 5-star review!Ā š² Follow us on Instagram: @EverydayABA.3 š Get your CEU certificate HERE!Ā Ā šĀ Get a 10% Discount at Tiny Explorings Shoes using code PAOLAĀ š Earn Rewards every time you shop by using ShopkickĀ š¤ Earn $50 cash back by using RakutenĀ Ā Ā š Ā Ā Earn 125,000 bonus points by opening a new Sapphire ReserveĀ® account or 75,000 bonus points for opening a new Sapphire PreferredĀ® account using EveryDayABA's code at Chase š¢ To advertise on this podcast please e-mail: everydayaba.3@gmail.comĀ Ā | |||
| The Science Behind Sales: How People Really Make Decisions | 13 janv. 2026 | 01:03:34 | |

In this episode of EveryDay ABA, Paola, Brittanny, and Leslie are joined by Graham Lukas, one of the top sales performers for Hyatt Vacation Club, to explore sales through a behavioral science lens.

The conversation highlights how Applied Behavior Analysis principles used by BCBAs every day can drive effective business, leadership, and personal decision-making. Whether you are a BCBA, clinician, consultant, or business owner who struggles with selling without feeling salesy, this episode reframes sales as relationship-building, problem-solving, and value alignment rather than manipulation.

In this episode of Everyday ABA, Paola, Brittanny, and Leslie are joined by Northwestern Mutual financial advisor, Tommy Smith, to break down retirement planning through a behavioral lens. Using principles from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the conversation demystifies 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth vs. traditional accounts, employer matches, and target date funds in a way that feels practical rather than overwhelming. The group explores the psychology of money, including why saving feels restrictive for some people and empowering for others, and how automation, habit formation, and reducing response effort can make long-term financial behavior more sustainable. The episode also covers common barriers that prevent people from investing, such as fear of market fluctuations, lack of early financial education, and decision paralysis. Listeners learn how concepts like delayed reinforcement, shaping, and antecedent strategies apply directly to saving for retirement. Additional topics include pensions versus defined contribution plans, spousal IRAs, risk tolerance, working with a financial advisor, and why womenāespecially working mothers and stay-at-home parentsāneed to think differently about retirement and life insurance. This episode is ideal for clinicians, professionals, and families who want to understand retirement planning without jargon and learn how small, consistent behavioral changes can lead to long-term financial security.
