In this special episode of the Just Great People podcast, Hilary Scarlett joins Barry Eustance to explore the science and practice behind her acclaimed book, The Neuroscience of Organizational Change – now in its third edition.

Drawing from the latest research and real-world application, Hilary discusses the SPACES model – a practical framework for understanding what people need in order to thrive during change:

 Self-esteem, Purpose, Autonomy, Certainty, Equity and Social connection.

From improving communication to shaping leadership behaviour, this conversation offers powerful insight into how neuroscience can transform how organisations lead, adapt and grow.

 What you'll learn:

  • What neuroscience teaches us about leading people through uncertainty
  • How the SPACES model supports engagement, performance and wellbeing
  • Why social connection is critical during times of change
  • How to involve employees in ways that reduce resistance and increase buy-in
  • What gut instinct, face-to-face connection and interbrain synchronisation mean for leadership today
  • How brain-aware strategies improve decision making, especially under pressure

 Who this is for:

  • Anyone interested in evidence-based leadership
  • Business leaders and people managers
  • Organisational change and transformation specialists
  • Consultants and HR professionals supporting change initiatives
  • Teams using The Sixsess Consultancy’s PEOPLE framework
