- Introducing The Rider And The Elephant
Why is change so hard, even when we know what we want to do?
In the first episode of The Rider and the Elephant: Activating Change, Aaron and Cristina introduce the framework of the Rider (our rational mind), the Elephant (our emotions), and the Path* (the conditions around us). Drawing on their backgrounds in consulting, learning and development, and coaching, they explore why plans and good intentions don’t always translate into action.
Whether you’re navigating personal change, leading a team, or facing an organizational shift, this conversation invites you to identify where you’re getting stuck—and choose one conscious move forward.
*inspired by the book Switch by Chip Heath and Dan Heath

About The Rider and the Elephant
From the publisher's feed
Why is knowing you need to change rarely enough to help you actually do it? Aaron and Cristina unpack the human experience of change through the Rider (our rational mind), the Elephant (our emotions…
and habits), and the Path (our environment). They examine what happens when these forces fall out of alignment. Discover practical reflection questions and tools to move beneath default reactions, reconnect with your agency, and shift from awareness into conscious action in life, teams, or organizations to activate change.
