## Resource

Today, I'm joined by Travis Hahler, founder of The Neurological Nomad, strategy and transformation leader at Salesforce, and author of Rethink Resistance. Travis brings together neuroscience, psychology, and business leadership to help organizations better understand how people respond to change and how leaders can communicate more effectively through transformation. In this episode, Travis and I explore why people naturally resist change, how neuroscience influences the way messages are received, and what leaders can do to communicate in ways that build trust instead of triggering fear and uncertainty. Whether you're leading organizational change, managing a team, or simply looking to become a more effective communicator, this conversation offers practical insights you can put to work immediately. Let's dive in.
