A Story of Change and Courage
Earlier this year, I worked with a leadership team navigating a major transformation. On paper, their challenges were strategic: a new operating model, ambitious targets, and tight timelines. But in reality, the heart of their challenge was human.

The team struggled with doubt. Could they bring people along on this journey? Would their decisions hold up under scrutiny? Could they sustain their energy when the road got rough?

What happened next was incredible. By focusing on clarity, connection, and consistent support, this team began to shift. They leaned into honest conversations, celebrated small wins, and rallied around a shared vision. And slowly but surely, they created momentum—not just for the business, but for themselves as leaders.

Watching their transformation reminded me of something I deeply believe: change is where we grow, not in spite of the challenges, but because of them.

Change is the one constant in life, but our brains aren’t always ready to embrace it. If you’ve ever felt an internal struggle against new routines, goals, or shifts at work, you’re not alone. Much of this change resistance is due to cognitive biases wired deep in our brains. By understanding how these biases work, we can start to break free from their grip, turning resistance into opportunity.
