About this listen

 Change doesn’t start with clarity — it starts with chaos. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen dives into the second phase of the Change Curve: Disruption — the moment when what once felt safe suddenly stops working. Disruption isn’t gentle. It barges in. It shakes your systems, your certainty, and your sense of control. It doesn’t feel like growth — it feels like loss. But here’s the truth: disruption isn’t a breakdown. It’s a turning point. Through real stories from both life and business — from Netflix and Blockbuster to Peloton’s pandemic pivot — Allison explores what happens when comfort cracks and why that discomfort is the only way transformation begins. 💡 In this episode, you’ll discover: The real reason change feels chaotic (and what your brain is trying to protect you from) → Why disruption is necessary for growth — even when it feels destabilizing → How to name and normalize disruption for yourself and your team → The three leadership moves that help people reorient after the shock → Why ignoring disruption only amplifies fear and how acknowledgment restores confidence If you’re leading through change — at home, at work, or within yourself — this conversation will help you make peace with the messiness of growth and guide others through it with clarity and courage. 📘 Part of the Change Curve Series 1️⃣ Status Quo — Why “Safe” Is the Riskiest Choice 2️⃣ Disruption — The REAL Reason Change Feels Like Chaos (and How to Lead Through It) 3️⃣ Adoption — Coming Next: What Happens After the Shock 🎧 Listen now and learn how to turn uncertainty into momentum and fear into focus. #Leadership #ChangeManagement #Resilience #AuthenticLeadership #TruthTalk
