Why Adults Resist Change | Jill Delgado
Description
Why do so many organizations struggle with change?
Most companies blame strategy, communication, or leadership.
But in this episode of Thought Atlas, Jill Delgado argues that the deeper issue is human behavior itself.
After more than two decades leading large-scale organizational transformation, Jill came to a striking realization:
We are trying to teach adults emotional agility, resilience, empathy, adaptability, and healthy communication decades too late.
That insight led her somewhere unexpected — children’s storytelling.
Jill is the founder of B2We and creator of the Bibba & Bubba series, designed to help children develop what she calls “cultural buoyancy”:
the ability to adapt, connect, innovate, and thrive in an increasingly uncertain world.
This conversation explores:
• Why humans resist change
• The psychology of workplace culture
• Emotional intelligence and leadership
• Adaptability, resilience, and human systems
• Parenting and organizational behavior
• Fear, uncertainty, and workplace dynamics
• Why many cultures become performative
• How behavior shapes environments
• The connection between childhood development and adult leadership
• What healthy culture actually looks like
This is not simply a conversation about organizations.
It’s about how human beings learn to relate to uncertainty, connection, and change — long before adulthood ever begins.
