The Neuroscience of Change

Discover what really happens in the brain during change. In this module, you'll explore how uncertainty triggers stress, why resistance is a survival response, and how to calm the nervous system to keep the "thinking brain" online. Learn to lead through pressure with clarity, presence, and biological compassion—so change feels less threatening and more possible.

Behavioral Science in Action

Why do people resist even positive change? This module dives into the cognitive biases and decision-making shortcuts that shape human behavior—like status quo bias, loss aversion, and confirmation bias. You’ll learn how to spot these patterns at work and use behavioral science strategies to shift mindsets, guide adoption, and make change more intuitive.

Habit Science & Scalable Strategies

Change doesn’t stick without new habits. This final module helps you identify the rhythms, rituals, and routines that shape your team’s culture—whether intentionally or not. You’ll explore how habits form in the brain, build practical structures to support each adopter group, and walk away with a personalized change action plan that turns insight into impact.
