In this relaunch episode, Anne-Marie Parent introduces the evolution from Butterfly Theories to AmpedUp Field Notes and explains why the shift matters.

Drawing on her journey from management consulting into healthcare leadership, she reflects on a recurring pattern: why well-designed ideas stall once implementation begins, and why organizations often overlook the intelligence already inside them.

Using the butterfly metaphor, from chaos theory’s “butterfly effect” to the deeper transformation that happens inside the chrysalis, this episode explores what it really takes to lead inside complex systems. Sustainable change requires more than strategy. It requires curiosity, humility, and a willingness to reshape the environments we create for others.

This episode sets the foundation for the podcast’s focus: observing patterns, experimenting with new ways of leading, and staying curious about how real transformation happens in healthcare and beyond.
