To say that "change is a constant" will be an understatement these days. 

Yet, why does it seem that reacting to changes or driving change is so difficult to do? Why do we suck at it so much? 

Well, to break this down, we’ll have to look the intricacies of human behaviours. And I speak with Oliver Foo, who’s not only a veteran in corporate leadership, but had also recently published a book called Head to Heart to Habit on driving behavioural change. 

Oliver has spent 30 years in the tech and telecommunications industry, leading people and businesses across markets, with him living in countries such as Singapore, UK, Germany, Canada and Finland - and has since made the transition to help fellow executives in complex leadership roles. I met Oliver at a coaching workshop and I find him to be a deeply reflective person with a sense of humour and wit. Now, what does it take to do adapt to changes well? Let’s find out….

Key moments:

• How his childhood formed his curiosity around human behaviours
• Switching from being a software engineer to a two-decades long career in sales and marketing
• Finding out what the opposite of curiosity looks like - and why that is BAD for you
• Why having “experience" can actually sabotage us 
• The single key question that we need to ask ourselves when making decisions 
• His personal reason for writing the book, Head to Heart to Habit
• Addressing the myths of making behavioural changes (or… why is it so darn hard for us to change!) 
• The secret model behind understanding why people behave the way they do (or why you may not be happy at your job)
• What you must do if working with someone of opposing values to you
• His advice for addressing our fears of failure in driving change
