Ilona Pietrzak, I’m a go-to agile enthusiast working as a Scrum Master! When I’m not diving into sprints, you’ll find me bringing some serious energy to training programs. With a background in medicine and a deep love for understanding how our brains work, I blend my knowledge into creating training programs that are not only educational but downright engaging. I’m a certified trainer „Training from the Back of the Room”, and fun fact – I’m currently geeking out on neurodidactics studies, adding more brainpower to my toolkit. Excited to share the agile wisdom and make learning a blast!

Oops, they changed the rules – now what? A Neuroscience Perspective on Leading Change

As change agents, we’re often called to guide others through uncertainty, shifting priorities, and the emotional ups and downs of transformation. But what does it really feel like to be in the middle of change - without a clear roadmap or shared understanding?In this session, you’ll take part in a lively, card-based group game inspired by experiential learning. It’s fun and full of laughter, but also brings moments of confusion and surprise, just like real change at work.
Building on what we’ve just experienced, I’ll introduce key insights from neuroscience - how the brain reacts to uncertainty, what triggers resistance, and what helps people adapt. The focus isn’t only on models, but on practical reflection and emotional awareness: what leaders need to notice, say, and do when their teams are thrown into the unknown. If you're guiding teams through transformation, this session will offer a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of what real support in change looks like.
