Why can we know exactly what we want to change, genuinely want to change it, and still find ourselves slipping back into familiar patterns?
In this episode of a short Leading People reflection series, Gerry Murray explores why changing ourselves can be so difficult.
Drawing on conversations with Patricia Riddell, Ian McDermott, Jon Finn and Hilary Scarlett, Gerry looks at neuroplasticity, habits, prediction, uncertainty and what happens when pressure pulls us back towards old behaviours.
Along the way, he also connects these ideas to self-awareness, learning and Adaptive Capacity.
The central question is not simply whether we can change, but whether we can become better at noticing, learning and adapting as we go.
A reflective episode for anyone trying to understand why meaningful change is often harder than it first appears.
