Flexible work has a highlight reel and a regular Tuesday.

A kid wanders into frame. Someone takes a call on a walk. Laundry gets folded during an internal sync. Through it all, clients still expect excellent work.

Regina doesn’t treat those moments as exceptions. They’re part of building a company where great work and real life coexist.

Being serious isn’t about having a spotless background—it’s about whether the work gets done.

“Tell people about your side gig.”

That’s what Regina Bethencourt, founder of Tenuto, used to hear at social gatherings. Building a fully remote company before the pandemic while raising five kids meant her afternoon routine didn't match traditional norms. If she was at the park at 2 PM, people assumed it couldn't be a "real" business.

The reality? She was managing a full team, serving major clients, and building a sustainable company culture.

Join Whitney Munro and Regina on the new episode of FLEX Live as they break down why modern credibility shouldn't depend on an office lease or a 40-hour desk sentence. Flexible leadership gets results. 💪

We’re excited to welcome Jacqueline Policastro to FLEX Partners!

Jacqueline joins us in Strategic Communications and Media Relations, bringing deep experience in journalism, media strategy, communications, and storytelling.

She’s spent much of her career helping people make sense of complicated issues, communicate clearly, and understand what actually makes a story worth telling. That experience is going to be incredibly valuable across a number of our client engagements, especially where strong messaging and media strategy matter.

We’re very glad to have Jacqueline on the FLEX team. Welcome! 💜

2027 does not start on January 1. It starts now.

Q4 is the weird little stretch where you’re still very much finishing this year while your brain is already wandering into the next one.

And honestly, I think that’s exactly right. Finish 2026 strong. Pay attention to what the year taught you. And start putting the pieces in place for what you want 2027 to become.

Our latest FLEX Insight is about doing both: executing AND being visionary at the same time.

Discover why Q4 has two critical jobs: finishing 2026 strong while strategically planning and building for 2027. Balance ex*****on and vision this season.

“Remote work is not work.” Lattes. Back porch. Pretend login.

That fear still shows up everywhere. Leaders worry flexible people aren’t serious. High achievers assume anyone with a life outside work cares less.

Whitney Munro and Regina Bethencourt, founder of Tenuto, talk on the new FLEX Live episode about how flexible doesn’t mean lower standards. It means dropping rules that no longer serve the work. 💪 https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0yMh7r0

What does your ChatGPT know about you? 😂

We had the FLEX team try the AI mascot trend this week, and the results were way too accurate. The fun part wasn’t just the mascot — it was the explanation. ChatGPT was pulling from patterns in how each person uses it: what they ask, what they push back on, what they care about, and how they think.

A funny little trend, but also a good reminder that the more context we give AI, the more personalized the relationship becomes.

So now we’re curious: what has your AI learned about you?

There is no one-size-fits-all coffee order. Good thing we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all much of anything. ☕

In honor of National Coffee Day, we asked the FLEX team one very important question: What’s in your cup?

Some of the most capable leaders we know are also the ones standing in their own path.

Not because they lack skill. Because fear, control, old stories, and other people’s reactions start taking up too much space.

That’s the conversation Whitney Munro has with Sara Greco — leadership coach, founder of Lead Into It, and FLEX Partner — on this episode of FLEX Live: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0yCBmc0

Hard work doesn’t always get you out of a spiral.

Whitney Munro asked how to support well-meaning leaders who want to do their best and still find themselves stuck in anxiety. Sara Greco named it for what it is: a whirlpool. Once you’re in it, pushing harder often pulls you deeper.

Her first recommendation is simple and human: take time off. A half day or a full day. Don’t check email. Reset. Like a pendulum that’s swung too far, you sometimes have to pause so you can find the middle again.

Once you’re out of your own head, you can see more clearly.

Even the smartest, most capable leaders can become their own biggest bottleneck.

When fear, control, or old habits take over, they crowd out the very team you're trying to empower. Micromanagement rarely reflects team performance—it usually points back to the leader's own anxiety.

In this edition of FLEX Live, Whitney Munro sits down with leadership coach and FLEX Partner Sara Greco to discuss:
• Creating space for your team instead of enforcing control
• Uncovering the self-limiting stories high achievers rely on
• Recognizing unproductive patterns and consciously choosing a better path
