Navigating Change & Understanding the Human Experience at Work with Shonna Waters, PhD
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026

In this episode of the Science For Work podcast, Matt Lampe talks with Shonna Waters about the human experience of change in organizations. Shonna emphasizes the importance of addressing fundamental human needs—security, growth, and significance—during periods of change, and how psychological ergonomics can help align organizational goals with these needs. The conversation also explores the challenges of communication during change, the impact of altitude sickness on leaders' perceptions, and the significance of identity in navigating change. Shonna offers insights on building trust, managing performance dips, and fostering resilience by focusing on identity.Links:Shonna Waters on Substack: https://substack.com/@drshonnawatersShonna Waters on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shonna-waters/ScienceForWork is an independent, non-profit foundation of evidence-based practitioners working to #MakeWorkBetter.ScienceForWork.com
