    The Overwhelm Problem: Practical Tools for Leading Through Change ft Alison Earl

    In This Episode of Change It- Eloise Seidelin speaks to Guest Alison Earl. Overwhelm is real. But waiting for conditions to improve? That's a losing strategy. I'm joined by change and transformation specialist Alison Earl is a leading corporate advisor and behaviour change expert, who has spent her career helping organisations navigate the people side of change building leadership alignment, cultures of ownership, and genuine empowerment when complexity and pace show no signs of slowing. Alison introduces her four states of mind framework a practical lens based on where your attention sits and how much agency you're exercising and why most people are operating further from the "responsible" state than they realise. We get into the CIA model, the danger of toxic positivity masquerading as resilience, and a compelling case study that used Alison's Betterment training to shift culture — and saw a 6% rise in engagement as a result. For leaders, Alison's advice is clear: start with yourself, coach rather than rescue, and keep the focus on contribution. A practical, grounded conversation for anyone leading people through uncertainty. https://www.alisonearl.com/

    Change Ethics: The Conversation on Conscience with Myah Rom & Gilber Kruidenier

    Change with a Conscience: Ethics, Red Flags & Real Talk with Myah Rom & Gilbert Kruidenier In this very human episode of the Change It podcast, I sit down with change practitioners Myah Rom and Gilbert Kruidenier to talk about something we don’t explore nearly enough ethics in change. We unpack the tricky dual loyalties between business outcomes and employee wellbeing, share personal stories from the field, and reflect on those uncomfortable moments where doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest thing. From the misuse of behavioural science to the subtle red flags we brush past, this conversation shines a light on the real work of navigating change with integrity. We cover:🔹 The ethics of influence, power, and behavioural nudges🔹 What psychosocial safety legislation means for change🔹 When to raise a red flag (and how to do it with grace)🔹 How AI and tech challenge ethical boundaries🔹 Why listening, not persuading, is the ultimate leadership skill This isn’t about perfection; it’s about being present, curious, and honest in the face of complexity.

    Edwina Pike on Leadership: What You Do Matters More Than You Know.

    In this episode of the Change It Podcast, I welcome back the brilliant Edwina Pike whose last episode remains one of our most listened to and loved. And she’s back with a bang. We tackle the uncomfortable, often unspoken truth: leaders get the outcomes they deserve. At a time when change practitioners are being told that sponsorship and leadership alignment are the deciding factors of success, this episode is for anyone leading change, working alongside leaders, or feeling frustrated by the gap between intent and impact. Ed breaks down six powerful keys to leadership from what gets measured, to how leaders respond in a crisis, to the subtle cues of approval and disapproval and shows how each of these shapes team performance more than any slide deck or town hall ever could. With her signature mix of neuroscience, behavioural science, and straight-talking wisdom, Ed offers a practical playbook to elevate leadership capability and impact. No fluff. Just tools, truth, and transformation. In this episode:🔹 The six key behaviours that define effective leadership🔹 Why most leadership development is outdated—and what to do instead🔹 How to create a vivid, emotionally engaging vision for your team🔹 Why resource allocation is the ultimate indicator of priorities🔹 Practical tips for improving leadership presence and impact🔹 How change managers can better support (or challenge) leadership Whether you’re in the C-suite or coaching someone who is, this conversation is a must-listen.
