Quotes to ponder:

"Change triggers the fight, flight, or freeze response in the human brain."

"When change is introduced, leaders often push from a place of fear, urgency, threats, mandates, instead of enrolling their people with clarity, safety, and inspiration."

"Change doesn’t fail due to poor planning; it fails because people don’t feel safe enough to embrace it."
