In this episode, Michele Lamoureux sits down with Fredric Marshall, a leading expert in change management, human behavior, and helping people navigate uncertainty with confidence. Over the course of his career, Fred has worked with organizations like Apple, Pfizer, and Genentech, helping teams adapt, grow, and lead through change.

But this conversation goes beyond corporate performance. Fred shares why the tools for resilience, adaptability, and growth are not reserved for high achievers or executives—they’re essential skills for anyone facing change, uncertainty, overwhelm, or anxiety about the future.

Drawing from decades of research and experience training more than 130,000 people across fourteen countries, Fred explains how people can move from fear and overwhelm to clarity, agency, and momentum in a rapidly changing world.

We also dive into his book, THRIVE: The Antidote to Future Shock, and explore practical ways people can stay grounded and hopeful during times of disruption.
