    In this episode of The Flex, host Scott Herbst sits down with Dr. Becca Tagg, founder of the Del Mar Center for Behavioral Health, an organization providing diagnostic services, therapy, and school consultation for children with autism and their families in Southeast North Carolina. Dr. Tagg shares her personal and professional journey into psychology, leadership, and founding Del Mar after recognizing a deep misalignment between her values and the systems she was expected to work within. Drawing from her lived experience, clinical work, and leadership practice, she reflects on values based decision making, integrity, and what it truly means to live an integrated life. The conversation explores Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, identifying personal values, and the concept of “glimmers” as signals of alignment and wellbeing. Becca discusses honesty in leadership, the discomfort of growth, navigating power and privilege, and why being kind does not always mean being nice. Together, Scott and Becca unpack how clarity, self awareness, and ongoing reflection shape ethical leadership and long term fulfillment. A thoughtful and deeply honest episode for leaders, clinicians, founders, and anyone interested in values driven leadership, personal growth, and doing meaningful work with integrity. #theflex #leadershipdevelopment #valuesbasedleadership #authenticleadership #personalgrowth #mentalhealth I hope you enjoy this episode!Give it a like, share, and subscribe to not miss the content coming your way weekly.- Scott and The Flex podcast team Connect with Scott Herbst on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottherbst/Visit The Flex website here: https://theflexpodcast.com/ Listen to The Flex on these podcast platforms:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4hiMhQXqiopx65WclM5xarApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flex/id1815706197Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/82479a2b-41d3-48fe-bc40-94882d1a07f2/the-flex #TheFlexPodcast #ScottHerbst #LeadershipDevelopment #SalesTraining #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #BusinessStrategy #MindsetMatters #SuccessTips #SalesLeadership #Entrepreneurship #ProfessionalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #BusinessMindset #SalesSuccess #CoachingTips #LeadershipSkills #MotivationalPodcast The Flex podcast with Scott Herbst is your weekly source of inspiration and practical advice for leaders, sales professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone striving for personal and professional growth.

    Welcome to this episode of The Flex!Today we’re joined by Adam Malaty-Uhr. In this episode of The Flex, host Scott Herbst sits down with Adam Malaty-Uhr, Founder of Transformative Facilitation to explore why so many organizational change efforts fail and how leaders can finally break the cycle of repeated, unproductive behaviors. Adam unpacks the critical difference between structural problems and cultural problems, and explains why treating culture issues with structural fixes often leads to over-promising, under-delivering, and ongoing frustration. Through a developmental lens, he challenges leaders to examine the unseen beliefs “the water we swim in” that quietly shape decision-making, behavior, and results. This conversation dives into how leaders can build a real business case for investing in complex thinking, self-awareness, and personal growth, and why this type of development isn’t a “nice to have,” but essential for sustainable performance and change. Adam also shares a simple, actionable strategy for identifying your own limiting beliefs by asking successful leaders one powerful question plus the surprising developmental support available simply by listening. Key Takeaways You’ll Learn: Structure vs. Culture: How to tell the difference and why confusing the two stalls progress.Investing in Leaders: How to justify developing leaders’ thinking, not just their skills.Hidden Beliefs: Why unexamined assumptions drive repetitive organizational patterns.Actionable Insight: A simple question that helps uncover your own limiting beliefs.Developmental Support: How growth can begin just by engaging with the right conversations.
