Building Change Capacity featuring Oksana Prokhorova
Why does change feel so threatening—even when we know it's good for us?
In this episode, transformation leader Oksana Prokhorova reveals the neuroscience behind our stress responses and shares practical tools to build change capacity without burning out. She explains how our amygdala treats workplace deadlines like predatory tigers, why that 10-minute walk between meetings is a non-negotiable, and the surprising truth about when to drink your morning coffee.
If you're navigating a return to work after burnout or simply trying to stay resilient through constant change, Oksana offers evidence-based strategies that actually work—from micro-dosing change to protecting your brain's "Ferrari-level" performance with proper maintenance.
Oksana Prokhorova is a transformation leader specializing in human-centered, neuroscience-informed change management in highly regulated industries. Connect with her on LinkedIn for more practical neuroscience insights.
