Your change style and why you respond the way you do.

When change happens, we often focus on what’s shifting around us.

But the real story is in how we respond.

Not everyone moves through change in the same way.
Under pressure, patterns emerge in how we think, how we process, and how we try to stay steady when things feel uncertain.

This episode introduces five change styles - stabiliser, strategist, connector, experimenter, and integrator- and explores how strengths shape the way we respond when certainty disappears.

You’ll hear:

• how different change styles show up under pressure

• why what looks like resistance is often protection

• how strengths can both support and strain us in change

• why capacity and not character can shape how we respond

• what helps you work with your pattern, rather than against it.

Drawing on positive psychology, behavioural science, and neuroscience, including strengths research (Martin Seligman, Alex Linley), broaden-and-build theory (Barbara Fredrickson), meaning and sense-making (Paul Wong), and how stress shapes thinking under pressure (Amy Arnsten, Kelly McGonigal), this episode offers a practical way to better understand yourself and others during change.

Because change isn’t just something we go through.

It’s something we move through in patterns.

And when you understand your pattern, you can work with it and better understand others as well.
