Why are we all so stubborn to change?

In this podcast episode of Comms In A Nutshell by Oak Engage, Jenni talks about empowering and supporting change, what processes to use, and how managers can better support their teams with communications.

She explains how to stop change from becoming dehumanised and why people respond differently, accepting the stages at different speeds.  

“Change is always really interesting. As human beings we don’t like change and that’s really because our brains are designed to keep us safe and when things are changing, the brain then says,” I don’t know if I can keep you safe, I can’t predict what’s going to happen, and therefore I’m going to worry and panic and think the worst because hopefully, if I think the worst it will keep me safe.”
