  • The Neuroscience of Change: How to Lead People Through Uncertainty - with Hilary Scarlett

    What if you could lead change with confidence, grounded in how the brain actually works?

     

    In this powerful conversation, Hilary Scarlett, author of Neuroscience for Organizational Change, shares how applying neuroscience can dramatically improve the way organisations approach change.


    HIlary introduces the SPACES model - a practical, evidence-based framework built around what people need to adapt and thrive during times of uncertainty.

     

    You’ll learn how core human needs like social connection, fairness, and purpose shape how people respond to change.


    Hilary explains why employees would rather receive bad news than be left in the dark, and why involving them in the process is critical for success.

    This isn’t theory - it’s real insight into how leaders can design more resilient, engaged, and high-performing workplaces.

     

    Whether you're a leader managing transformation or part of a team navigating uncertainty, this conversation offers strategic and science-based guidance to help you lead change more effectively.

     

    Key themes are reflected in The Sixsess Consultancy’s PEOPLE change leadership and management framework, built to support modern organisations through complex transformation and for which the book Neuroscience for Organizational Change is a recommended reference.

    • Creating an Invincible Company - How the Best Companies Keep Reinventing Themselves with Nick Himowicz

      Creating an Invincible Company - How the Best Companies Keep Reinventing Themselves with Nick Himowicz on The Just Great People Podcast


      In this compelling episode of The Just Great People Podcast, Barry Eustance interviews Nick Himowicz, innovation coach and expert in the Strategyzer methodology.

      Together, they explore why some organisations repeatedly succeed—while others stall or fade—through practical, tested frameworks like the Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, and the Design Test Loop.

      Nick pulls no punches: strategy only works when it's clear, executed simply, and directly connected to customer value.

      Culture isn’t “soft stuff”—it’s the core system that enables or blocks innovation.

      And companies that reinvent fast, test ideas quickly, and learn from real data are the ones that survive and grow.

      Every insight also maps to skills taught in The Sixsess Consultancy’s high-impact training courses, giving listeners a practical route to put theory into action.
