Rethinking Change: What Your Team Wishes You Knew
Episode description
In this first solo episode of the Archetypes of Change™ summer series, Amy Lynn Durham invites you to rethink everything you thought you knew about change in the workplace.
Forget the buzzwords. This isn’t about forcing alignment or pushing people to “get on board.” It’s about something deeper: how we each relate to change—and how that’s shaped by our relationship to time itself.
You’ll learn:
- Why change efforts often feel personal (because they are)
- What most leaders miss when they try to “logic” people through transition
- The 5 Archetypes of Change™—and how they show up in every team
- Why giving your people language for how they move through change can transform your results
- How this framework goes far beyond personality tests—and why it matters now more than ever
Whether you’re leading a reorg, rolling out a new strategy, or just trying to hold the center in a rapidly evolving culture—this episode is your grounding point.
