In this session, I’m not going to give you an introduction to change management, nor a list of models or techniques. Instead, we will work on something much more fundamental: the psychological and emotional foundations that make change possible.

My goal is that after these four hours, you understand yourself better, you recognise what happens inside you when change appears, and you walk away with a simple framework you can continue developing through future learning, reading or more advanced training.

Think of this session as the foundations on top of which you will build everything else you learn about change.

Any questions?

Any questions?

Before the session, I’d like you to take a few minutes to complete a short questionnaire. It’s not a test and there are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to give me a better sense of your experience with change, so I can adapt the session to what you’re actually dealing with. It also helps you start thinking about the topic before we meet, which makes the session more concrete and easier to apply.

Start the short reflection!

Thinking fast and Slow.

A book written by Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist and Nobel Prize winner in Economics. In this work, Kahneman explores the two systems that govern our thinking: System 1, which is fast, automatic, and intuitive, and System 2, which is slower, deliberate, and analytical. Through research and practical examples, the author demonstrates how these systems interact, influencing our decisions, judgments, and behaviors, often in unexpected ways. Kahneman also analyzes the cognitive biases and mental traps that affect our perception and reasoning ability. Thinking, Fast and Slow is considered a seminal work that not only explains how the human mind works but also offers tools to improve our decision-making in daily life.

How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain.

In this book, Lisa Feldman Barrett. In this work, the author explores the inner workings of the brain and how it shapes our emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. Feldman Barrett challenges traditional ideas about emotions, proposing that they are not automatic, innate responses, but rather active constructs that the brain creates from previous experiences, context, and learning. Through a combination of scientific research and accessible examples, The Secret Life of the Brain offers a new perspective on the nature of emotions and the brain's role in our everyday lives, inviting readers to question their beliefs about what they feel and why. This book is a fascinating guide to better understanding the complexity of the human mind.

How to Win Friends and Influence People .

First published in the 1930s, this book examines the social and psychological principles behind effective human interaction. Dale Carnegie focuses on practical ways to build trust, communicate more clearly, and influence others without manipulation or coercion. The core idea is that genuine interest in people, respectful listening, and sincere appreciation are far more powerful than criticism or force. Through simple rules and real-life examples, the book shows how small changes in attitude and behavior can improve relationships, reduce conflict, and increase personal and professional influence. The message is straightforward: lasting influence comes from understanding people and treating them with respect.

Through real-life cases, practical insights, and compelling storytelling, Switch reveals how small adjustments in mindset, motivation, and context can unlock significant and lasting change. It is a thoughtful and accessible guide on how to influence behavior and navigate transitions in a world where adaptation is essential.

Centered around Siegel’s “Wheel of Awareness” meditation practice, the book combines scientific insights with accessible guidance to help readers cultivate greater clarity, balance, and well-being. Blending research with practical exercises, Aware reveals how developing presence can reshape the mind, improve emotional regulation, and deepen our connection with ourselves and others.

Drive.

Rather than focusing on rewards and punishments, Drive explores what truly motivates people in work and life. Daniel Pink argues that once basic needs are met, performance and satisfaction depend mainly on three elements: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Through research from psychology and behavioral science, the book shows how traditional incentive systems often undermine motivation, especially in creative or complex tasks. Pink proposes a new way of thinking about motivation, one that emphasizes giving people control over their work, opportunities to improve, and a sense that what they do matters. This approach, he suggests, leads to deeper engagement, better results, and more sustainable performance.

Primal Leadership .

Drawing on research in emotional intelligence and neuroscience, Primal Leadership argues that a leader’s primary role is to shape the emotional climate of a group. Daniel Goleman and his co-authors explain how leaders influence performance through their mood, behavior, and way of relating to others. The book introduces different leadership styles and shows how each one affects motivation, trust, and results. Rather than focusing only on strategy or authority, it emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills as core leadership capabilities. When leaders manage emotions effectively, the book suggests, they create conditions in which people can perform, collaborate, and adapt more effectively.

A Geography of Time.

Robert Levine explores how the perception of time varies across cultures and is influenced by biological, emotional, and social factors. Through studies and observations, Levine shows how some societies live at a fast pace, while others adopt a more relaxed relationship with time. He also analyzes how the brain processes time subjectively, affected by age, environment, and emotions. The book invites reflection on how our ideas about time shape our daily lives and our interactions with others.

Insaei (documentary).

This is an Icelandic documentary directed by Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir and Kristín Ólafsdóttir that explores the Icelandic concept of "innsæi," which translates as "intuition" or "seeing within." The documentary investigates how intuition and empathy can influence our personal and professional lives, and how disconnection from these aspects can negatively impact our society. Through interviews with scientists, artists, and thought leaders, "InnSæi" shows how to recover and value intuition in a world dominated by logic and technology. It is a profound reflection on the importance of inner connection and awareness in our daily lives.
