This book by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey explores the concept of 'immunity to change,' which refers to the subconscious resistance people have to making significant changes, even when those changes are clearly beneficial. The authors introduce a practical framework, the 'Immunity to Change Map,' to help individuals and organizations identify and overcome hidden commitments and big assumptions that prevent change. The book emphasizes the importance of mindset transformation and adaptive improvement over mere technical skill development, providing tools and case studies to facilitate lasting personal and organizational change.
Lauren Sisler's "Shatterproof" is a memoir recounting her journey of overcoming the shame associated with her parents' deaths from opioid addiction. The book details her struggle with grief, societal stigma, and the internal conflict of hiding the truth. Sisler's narrative explores themes of family, loss, and the power of vulnerability. Through her story, she aims to destigmatize addiction and encourage others to share their own experiences. The book ultimately celebrates resilience and the transformative power of storytelling.
What if the pain you're pushing through is actually the data you need; resilience programs are burning billions on the wrong problem; and there's a psychological theory that could transform your change work, but almost no one in business knows about it?
Here's the uncomfortable truth: we're living in a "chaos era" of chronic, compounding stress that our bodies weren't designed for. Traditional resilience — that "bounce back" mentality — was built for isolated crises, not the relentless multi-domain pressure your people face daily.
As a change leader, it’s time to go beyond resilience … for you, your team, and for the people who you’re inviting through change.
Dr. Tasha Eurich’s new book "Shatterproof" challenges the foundation of how we approach resilience.
She reveals why 95% of large organizations are investing in resilience programs that aren't working. The real issue? We're ignoring three fundamental human needs rooted in Self-Determination Theory: confidence, choice, and connection.
When these needs get frustrated, people develop "shadow" behaviours that sabotage your change efforts. But there's a four-step process to help your people become "shatterproof" — not just surviving change, but growing forward through it.
This isn't about adding more wellness programs. It's about fundamentally reimagining how transformation actually works in the human psyche.Change Signal. Cut through the blather, the BS, and the noise to find the good stuff that works in change and transformation.
