When crisis hits, most BCBA business owners pivot into survival mode: you're stepping into sessions, triaging problems, and holding the business together with sheer willpower. But here's the trap: when crisis becomes your default operating system, sustainability dies a slow death. This session is for the owner, director, or clinical leader who's burnt out but still in the game. We'll take an unapologetically behavior-analytic approach to crisis leadership and how to navigate organizational breakdowns without sacrificing your core values, your vision, or your sanity. You'll learn how to respond effectively in the moment, while still shaping toward long-term outcomes that actually align with the business you wanted to build. Running a business in high-stress conditions isn't about having the perfect plan—it's about behavioral fluency in uncertainty. If your company is operating on fumes but your vision still matters, this session is your roadmap for redefining success: surviving today while building toward the future you actually intended to lead.
