Why do so many change initiatives fail—even when the strategy makes sense? In this episode, Travis D. Hahler, author of Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change, explores how understanding the brain can help leaders create more effective, sustainable transformation.

As Senior Director of Global Strategy & Transformation at Salesforce and founder of The Neurological Nomad, Travis combines psychology, business strategy, and neuroscience to help organizations navigate uncertainty, improve employee engagement, and build workplaces designed for lasting change.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why resistance to change is often a natural neurological response rather than simple opposition.
• The human factors that determine whether large-scale transformations succeed or fail.
• How neuroscience and behavioral science can reshape leadership strategies.
• The impact of AI and emerging technologies on the future of work.
• How leaders can create environments where employees adapt, innovate, and thrive.

Whether you’re leading a team, managing transformation, or navigating workplace disruption, this episode provides valuable insights into using neuroscience to turn resistance into meaningful results.
