Leading Through Change: Change and the Nervous System

Why do people resist change, even when it seems to make perfect sense? Welcome to the first episode of our Leading Through Change Series where we will explore the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and change. Throughout this series, psychotherapist and interpersonal neurobiology specialist Lacy Alana unpacks how the nervous system responds to stress and uncertainty—and how that understanding can transform the way we lead during times of change.

In this episode, we lay the foundation by exploring how the nervous system works, why it matters in the workplace, and what leaders often overlook when navigating transitions. Learn why logic alone isn't enough to guide people through uncertainty and how creating “felt safety” can make all the difference.
