In this episode of Simply Own It, host Kelly McIntee sits down with change-pioneer Carolyn Vreeman to explore the power of leading change—in your career, your organization, and your life.

Carolyn shares her journey from social work and family therapy into leading global IT change initiatives, and now helping leaders build capability and culture through her own firm. You’ll hear why change is messy, why resistance matters, how to navigate the “blue elephant” (the unspoken fears in teams), and how to leverage the tools of your human zone of genius so that technology, systems and transformation serve you rather than you serving them.

Topics we cover:

• Why “helping one person” evolved into influencing entire organizations and how that shift unlocked a greater zone of impact.

• The two essential ingredients for successful change: facing the fear (“call out the elephant”) + building on what’s already working (“bright spots”) so you don’t start from scratch but from strength.

• How to make time your ally. What your calendar says about your identity, your value, and your freedom.

• The real opportunities of AI and automation in the face of job-anxiety and change ... why the human element is more secure than ever.

• How leaders can build real connection and culture in systems that are large, global, digital and evolving.

If you’re an ambitious professional or entrepreneur looking to reclaim your time, reinvent how you earn, and align your work with your zone of genius, this episode will offer bold strategies and real stories to help you simply own your future.
