John Fisher on Engaging People in The Change Process

🎙️ Podcast Episode Description

What truly makes change stick—and why do so many change initiatives fail to engage people?

In this powerful episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with John M. Fisher, a globally respected constructivist psychologist, leadership expert, and author, to explore how leaders can engage people more effectively in the change process.

John is best known as the creator of the internationally recognized Process of Transition, often referred to as the Fisher Curve, a change model that has helped thousands of leaders and organizations understand the emotional journey individuals experience during change. With decades of experience designing leadership and development programs for prestigious institutions and global organizations, John brings a deeply human and practical perspective to navigating transformation.

Throughout the conversation, John shares insights from his professional journey, the inspiration behind the Fisher Curve, and why personalizing change is essential for lasting success. Drawing from his influential book Putting the I into Change, he explains how individual engagement can turn resistance into commitment—and how leaders can create cultures where change feels empowering rather than imposed.

If you’re a leader navigating uncertainty, transformation, or growth, this episode will give you practical strategies to lead change with clarity, empathy, and confidence.
