Leadership in behavior analysis is not an accident of seniority. It is a behavioral repertoire — one that can be defined, shaped, and measured — and one that the field urgently needs to cultivate deliberately as ABA continues to expand in scope and workforce size.

As our field continues to evolve, and grow at increasing rates, it is critical to ensure we are developing leaders who will guide the future of our service and our science with integrity and resolve. True leadership requires courage, vulnerability, empathy, and authenticity. Leadership develops through reflection, discovery, and the determination to continuously learn and grow from our experiences. An exemplary leader not only focuses on their own continuous learning and improvement but inspires those they serve to find the courage to face challenges, the grace to reflect and learn as they grow, and the compassion to provide empathy over judgement to support those around them. This panel includes powerful leaders in our field who continuously pay it forward to practitioners in our field, Linda LeBlanc, Tyra Sellers, Ivy Chong and Kathleen Stengel. Each of these giants, on whose shoulders we stand so all see further, spend their time and resources sharing their message, their wisdom from practice and reflections. In addition to serving in clinical and/or academic leadership roles, each work to identify and develop tools and resources, conduct research, write articles and books, and design interventions, providing resources and words of wisdom to serve as guidance in developing supervision and mentorship models for practitioners, as well as models for developing leaders in our field. And they do so with a focus on compassion and empathy, focusing on the necessity of leadership development while helping practitioners find their voice. Each panelist will share their journey of growth through learning and reflections on practice in the field, share their 'why' and their 'how', as well as their 'what' is next in their journey. The facilitator will select quotes, action items and words of inspiration written down over the years listening to the panelists present or through their works. Each panelist will have an opportunity to respond to, supplement, or amplify their message based on reflections and growth. The panelists will also share their vision for the future of behavior analytic service provision in a value-based model of care. This panel provides opportunity for participants to engage in conversation following the panel discussion.
