A Partnership Approach to Change with Rebecca Borland Reynolds

Episode notes

In this episode, Rebecca Borland Reynolds , author of Thresholds of Change: The Way Through Transformational Times , explores how shifting from domination to partnership paradigms can transform our relationship with change. Drawing from decades of work across diverse settings, Rebecca shares her discovery of the universal four-threshold change process and how traditional power-over leadership models often create obstacles during transitions. She discusses the crucial role emotions play in transformation, why domination-based assumptions that “leaders must have all the answers” actually thwart change, and how partnership approaches - such as collaborative decision-making and emotional acknowledgment - create safer spaces for transformation. Together, we dive into moving from resistance to curiosity, working with change as a partner rather than an adversary, and remembering that we all have an innate capacity for transformation when we approach it from partnership rather than domination mindsets.
