The Neuroscience of Change Leadership with Clare Edwards

Change is constant in the NFP sector and it's accelerating. So how can CEOs and leaders help their people navigate uncertainty, change fatigue and organisational transformation?

In this episode of The NFP CEO Podcast, we speak with Clare Edwards from Brain Smart People Development about the neuroscience of change leadership and what it means for NFP leaders.

We explore:

• Why change fatigue is becoming a major leadership challenge
• How neuroscience explains our response to uncertainty and change
• Why traditional change management approaches aren't always enough
• How leaders can build psychological safety, agency and autonomy
• Practical tools for managing uncertainty, including the Circle of Certainty
• Why leaders need to create dialogue rather than simply communicate
• How empathy, self-awareness and storytelling can improve change leadership
• Why CEOs need to help people become more comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity
• The importance of listening to sceptics and creating genuine employee engagement

For NFP CEOs and leaders navigating reform, restructuring, funding uncertainty or organisational transformation, this conversation offers practical insights into leading people through change while keeping the human element at the centre.
