EP329: Dr. Elizabeth Moran - How To Embrace Change To Elevate Your Leadership

“Leadership is something you do with people, not to
people.”
-Dr. Elizabeth Moran   
 
We have all found ourselves at one time or another having to
react to an unexpected change. Often those of us that go into
business for ourselves do so to have more freedom and control
over the decisions that will affect the long-term viability of
our businesses.
 
Problems start to occur when we become so avoidant of change that
we fail to address the concerns our employees or clients have in
the choices and changes we make. But we do not have to fear
change or be reactive and defensive to its presence in our
lives.
 
Dr. Elizabeth Moran, an experienced leader, consultant, and coach
is this episode’s featured guest. Dr. Moran has spent her career
helping teams and organizations navigate and evolve through
complex changes. She speaks powerfully to the need for curiosity
when addressing change, the value of allowing yourself and your
teams to explore and play with what the changes may mean, and how
to take the time to reconnect with why you wanted to do what you
do in the first place.
 
If you are struggling to adapt to change or find it challenging
to evolve at the same pace as your teams, leaders, or other
organizations, this is the episode to help you take a pause, dig
into where you are placing your energy and intention, and get
curious about what changes could really mean.
 
During this interview, you'll learn...



The value in taking time to reflect on the impacts of
change


How to overcome resistance to change
