  Wired to Resist - The Neuroscience Behind Leading Change

  Change is a journey, not an event. The reason 50-70% of change initiatives fail is that typical approaches to change management don't take into account human biology and that we are wired to resist change.

  Today’s change occurs in a myriad of ways from shifting technology to reorganizing functions to seeking new customers and operating globally. But the pace of today’s change is pushing the limits of even the most agile organizations and people. Recent discoveries in neuroscience illuminate how we learn, respond to change and ways we can maximize both flexibility and resilience.

  In this webinar, we will share the latest discoveries about the brain, and how to harness human biology to reduce resistance to change and change fatigue.

  Changing How We Change: The Coaching Shift Every Change Leader Needs

  Today's most effective change leaders aren’t just managing projects—they’re creating conditions for people to grow through change. This session explores how coaching and change management intersect to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate the transition.

  Facilitated by Angelina Beas, a certified ICF coach, and experienced change leader, this session reframes coaching not just as a tool but as an intelligent way of connecting and communicating during times of uncertainty. Coaching enhances a practitioner’s ability to lead change with curiosity, emotional intelligence, and humility—qualities that build trust and help people move forward without resistance.

  Participants will explore how core coaching competencies such as deep listening, presence, somatic awareness, and powerful questioning support the human side of change. The session will also dive into the mindset shift from "expert" to "partner" and how this approach strengthens relationships, increases adoption, and surfaces deeper insights.

  This session, grounded in emotional intelligence and practical examples, invites change practitioners to reimagine their role. Attendees will walk away with tangible strategies for integrating coaching behaviors into everyday interactions to build resilient, empowered teams.

  About the Speaker:

  

  Angelina Beas, MS, ACC

  Founder and Principal Consultant, 3 Elements

  Angelina Beas, MS, ICF-ACC, and PROSCI certified, is an experienced Executive and Well-Being Coach, Change Strategist, and founder of 3 Elements in Pittsburgh. With over 15 years of expertise in change management, leadership, and mindful coaching, Angelina helps change leaders move from merely managing projects to creating environments where people feel truly seen, supported, and inspired to thrive through change.

  Angelina’s passion focuses on coaching as a collaborative partnership that builds trust, curiosity, and genuine connection throughout the change process. She applies emotional intelligence, presence, and somatic awareness to help leaders and teams navigate uncertainty with empathy and openness. By adopting a coaching mindset rooted in partnership rather than expertise, Angelina empowers others to access deeper insights, develop resilience, and move forward with confidence.

  Her work is deeply rooted in the philosophy of “Bring Yourself to Life,” a commitment to thriving — not just surviving — by promoting healthy people, cultures, and organizations. She believes that when leaders adopt a values-based approach to life and decision-making, they simplify their use of energy and create space for their authentic selves to lead with clarity and purpose.
