Mastering change with Andrea Clarke

Thursday 30 October | 11 am – 12 pm AEDT

In a world of constant disruption, never-ending uncertainty and rapid changes, adaptability shouldn’t be reduced to a buzzword, but seen fully as a core skill for future-ready leaders.

In this masterclass, join Andrea Clarke, award winning author and work futurist, as she shares strategies to adapt effectively to change. Andrea will explore how it’s not just about coping with the next wave of change, but about anticipating it, shaping it, and shifting it to your advantage, so that your team can stay ahead and succeed in an ever-evolving world.

Change is constant

 

At Sonder Summit 2025, Andrea Clarke shared some hard truths about change and adaptability. Her powerful call to action: stop asking “How do we manage change?” and start asking “How do I anticipate it?”

  • Change is inherently uncomfortable.
    Andrea reminded us that humans are wired for sameness and addicted to routine, which makes adapting to change difficult. Even small, repetitive habits, like ordering the same coffee

  • We naturally perceive change as a loss.
    When faced with uncertainty or new information, our instinct is to assume something negative. Leaders must help people reframe change as a potential gain rather than a loss.

Join us as we dive deeper into Andrea’s insights — anticipating change with confidence, curiosity, and care.

What you'll learn in this masterclass:

  • Recognising the signals of change early, giving you more time to decide how it may impact the team
  • Managing energy and how to accept change
  • Actionable steps to respond and adapt to change
  • Identifying the opportunities to create space for new growth
