Season 1: Episode 11 - Q&A: Leading Organisational Change 1

Your team is frustrated because not only is the company changing exponentially, but they don’t feel well equipped for those many changes.

The changes feel hurried, overwhelming and sometimes as if they are the kinds of changes that will NOT help them, but only serve the company’s interests.

As a result, team morale drops, resistance is high and the level of buy-in from the most key team members is low to non-existent.

What do leaders do in this case??

We’ve taken a few questions that leaders have asked us and created this Q&A episode to support leaders who want a practical place to start when leading change and transformation.

In this episode, you can expect responses to these questions;

Why is my team resisting change?
Are senior leaders really ‘out of touch’? Why don’t they ‘get it’??
How do I, as a leader/manager, help our people to care about the change??

Leaders who are passionate about transformative change will truly appreciate this practical and easy-to-follow episode.

Have other questions you’d like us to answer in a Q&A episode?? Share them with us in the comments of this episode!

Stay tuned for weekly tips, tools, inspiration & stories to keep you learning, changing & growing 🦋

Ep 10: It’s OK: Learning To Accept

Season 1: Episode 10 - LULU’S UNLEARNING JOURNEY

Why is letting go so hard for us?

In any change journey, letting go is often the most challenging work that we do.

Is this because letting go is associated with failure, losing, or admitting we were wrong/made a mistake?

Maybe the trouble with letting go is that it requires us to accept a reality or a version of events that hurts or is against our beliefs and hopes?

In this episode of The UnLearners Show, CEO at Bidvest Life shares the heart-wrenching journey of her divorce and the rollercoaster of emotions associated with letting go of a person, a relationship and a version of reality that she had convinced herself was ‘perfect’.

This episode will have you on the edge of your seat and bring you to question your relationship with acceptance and truly ‘letting go’.

In this episode you can expect;

Details on Lulu’s unlearning journey
How to recognise when it’s time to let go of a person, mindset, or perspective
How to begin accepting reality and step into your power
The value of releasing other people from your expectations, so they can be themselves
