Welcome to this episode of The Flex!
Today we're with Alexandra Lawyer.
In this episode of The Flex, host Scott Herbst sits down with Alexandra Lawyer, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Imprint Pediatric Therapy, to discuss her remarkable journey from an entry-level ABA Therapist (RBT) to managing the operations of a growing agency.
Alexandra shares her honest and vulnerable experience with imposter syndrome and the significant internal work it took to shift her approach from a direct, task-focused mindset to one of relationship-centered leadership .
Key Takeaways You'll Learn:
-Empathy Beyond Clients: Apply ABA's compassionate, relationship-building principles directly to staff supervision and leadership.
-Conquer Imposter Syndrome: Learn to accept and manage the feeling of "not belonging" while growing into leadership.
-Empowering Feedback: Master the shift from "too direct" to an approach that makes people receptive and empowered.
-Intentional Presence: Strategies for active listening and maximizing limited one-on-one time despite a demanding COO schedule.
-Shift to Team First: Make the critical transition from individual focus ("Me effort") to a collective, goal-driven team effort.
Whether you're an RBT considering a management role, a BCBA supervising staff, or any professional seeking to lead with greater empathy, Alexandra’s story provides invaluable lessons on internal growth and connecting with your team as whole people.
