Navigating Change: Why change feels hard - and how to lead through it

Change is a constant - but that doesn’t mean it feels easy.

In this episode of Arla Unplugged: Navigating Change, we explore why change often triggers strong emotional reactions, and what people leaders can do to help their teams navigate uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Joined by Christina Juel Hegaard, Global Head of Change Management at Arla, and Brandi Shaw, behavioural scientist and CEO of Emotion is Data, the conversation combines practical leadership experience with insights from neuroscience and behavioural science. Together, they unpack:

• Why resistance to change is normal - and what it often signals
• What people really need when facing uncertainty
• And how leaders can shift from corporate messaging to meaningful, human conversations

Whether you’re leading change or experiencing it yourself, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how to make change feel more manageable - for everyone involved.
