In this heartfelt and insightful episode of Uncover the Human, hosts Cristina Amigoni and Alex Cullimore welcome guest Tina Morris to explore the often-overlooked emotional and psychological layers of transitions. From corporate transformations to cross-country moves, Tina shares personal stories and leadership lessons that highlight the importance of empathy, trust, and the courage to sit with ambiguity. Using metaphors like a child’s dresser that won’t fit through the door, the conversation reminds us that surface frustrations often mask deeper fears—and navigating transitions means pausing to understand what’s really going on underneath.

The episode also dives into the value of co-creating change with others, anchoring in intent over rigid plans, and building strong relationships long before a transition begins. Tina, a military veteran and seasoned financial services leader, weaves in lessons from the Army—like the concept of “commander’s intent”—to show how clarity of purpose empowers flexibility. Whether you're leading an organizational shift or navigating a personal pivot, this episode offers powerful takeaways on how courage and empathy make transitions not only survivable, but transformative.
