85% of executives cite change as critical to business success in these disruptive times. Yet all too often it is seen as a threat.

If change is so important, why are people afraid of it? What is stopping them adopting an innovative and growth mindset?

Quite simply, it’s our subconscious biases that protect the status quo and our tendency to emphasise the negative at the expense of the positive – negativity bias. Change creates winners and losers and the fear of loss looms larger than gain. Yet we all have the ultimate tool, built for change, at our disposal… our brain!

Neuroplasticity – our natural ability to change. The fundamental architecture of the brain is to change and adapt.

Humans can adapt to any habitat on the planet from the Poles to the Equator. Think also of the languages we may have to learn depending on where we are born.

The neurobiology behind this is our brain’s remarkable ability to re-wire itself to cope with changing circumstances. When we learn or experience something new, thousands of neurons wire together to map this new knowledge.

It’s time to switch mindset Whether it is restructuring, digital transformation, or new processes, this workshop demonstrates how we are designed to adapt.

By adopting a growth mindset, change can be seen as an opportunity for success. We’ll show how focusing on the positive and really listening to employees’ concerns helps the brain adjust its response to change and perceived threat.
