Disconnection is the hidden barrier holding us back in life, at work, and in our communities. Fear, resistance, and anxiety block change, damage well-being, and erode trust. PULSE: Empathy is Your Edge shows you how to break through those barriers and lead change that lasts.
Melinda McCormack draws on her personal journey through profound loss and her experience leading large-scale organisational change to introduce a groundbreaking five-step human-first framework for change. Backed by neuroscience, psychology, and decades of leadership experience, PULSE shows you how to turn disconnection into trust, agility, and sustainable impact. Melinda reveals how to dismantle limiting beliefs, lead with empathy, and harness emotional power as your greatest competitive edge. Filled with practical tools, compelling stories, and a clear roadmap, PULSE helps readers:
✅ Break through resistance and create alignment during times of change
✅ Build trust and psychological safety to unlock collaboration and performance
✅ Lead with empathy, intention, and courage in complex, uncertain environments
✅ Navigate uncertainty with confidence and clarity — in life and the workplace
Whether you’re a leader seeking to inspire, a professional navigating complexity, or someone ready to bridge the gaps that matter most, PULSE is your guide to shifting from fear to empowerment and from disconnection to impact.
If you’ve been inspired by Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, Emotional Agility by Susan David, or Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek, this book belongs on your shelf. PULSE is both a guide and a call to action: reconnect, reset, and renew for yourself, your team, and your organisation.
