Why does change feel hard? Explore how the brain responds to change.

Why do some people lean into change while others pull away? How can we support more adaptive, productive responses to transformation? Neuroscience is giving us new answers that change how we think about leading change.

In this virtual meetup, the Allegra team will explore how our brains process change, why resistance can be a natural response and how to work with rather than against our hardwired instincts.

What we’ll cover:

  • Insights from neuroscience and behavioural science
  • Why change can feel like a threat and what to do about it
  • An introduction to the SCARF Model and how it applies in real-world change scenarios
  • Tips for designing change strategies that support psychological safety
