S1 E34 - Stop Fighting Change: Lead It with Johanna Danaher

Change isn’t coming — it’s already here.
And the leaders who thrive aren’t the ones who manage it… they’re the ones who embrace it, direct it, and use it as a catalyst for high performance.

In this week’s episode of CLARATY in Action, Clara sits down with leadership expert Johanna Danaher to unpack what most teams get wrong about change. We talk about the real reason people fear change, how resistance kills culture, and how to shift your mindset from reacting to leading.

You’ll learn:
The psychology behind change resistance
How to move your team from fear to focus
Strategies to communicate change clearly and confidently
How to turn uncertainty into opportunity
Why high-performing cultures don’t wait for change — they initiate it

Whether you’re a leader navigating big transitions, a business owner redefining your strategy, or a professional hungry for growth, this episode will help you lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Perfect for leaders, HR professionals, business owners, and high performers who want to build healthy, resilient, future-ready cultures.

This is your reminder: change isn’t the enemy — your mindset is the game changer.
