Change is coming. Everyone knows it. So why is no one acting like it?

Most leaders spend months on the strategy, the timeline, the business case. Far less time on the thing that will actually determine whether any of it works: how it feels to be on the receiving end.

In this first episode of our series on leading change, Imogen and Amanda start with the human side - denial, anger, bargaining, doubt, and the slow road to acceptance. They explain why resistance usually isn't resistance at all. And why all change, even positive change, is experienced as a form of loss.

If you've ever been frustrated that your team isn't moving at your pace, this episode is for you. They're not being difficult. They're being human. And that's not a communications problem - it's just where we have to start.

Imogen Hitchcock and Amanda Pierce have a clear purpose: creating communications (and communicators) that spark action, drive growth, and build lasting influence. Between them, there’s not a question or crisis they haven’t faced. From the everyday “could you just…” to high-stakes challenges, they’re here to share their insights and help you thrive.

They'd love your stars, favourites, and follows. Please, give them the social validation they crave ;)
