Change isn’t something Erica Hodgson studies from a distance — it’s something she has lived.
In her recent appearance on the Unstoppable Women podcast, Erica, our People Excellence Director, reflects on a life shaped by movement, uncertainty and reinvention — from growing up in a military family in the United States, to moving to Israel as a child, experiencing conflict firsthand, and later relocating across continents before building a career in organisational transformation.
Her story isn’t about disruption for disruption’s sake. It’s about learning how to navigate uncertainty without being paralysed by it.
From personal change to professional expertise
Throughout the interview, Erica explores how early experiences of instability shaped her ability to “flow” through change rather than resist it — a capability she now brings into her work with organisations navigating digital and cultural transformation.
A trained artist and art therapist before moving into change leadership, Erica discusses the power of visual thinking in transformation. For her, change is rarely just operational — it’s emotional and human. When people can see change, map it and engage with it, they are far more likely to move through it confidently.
Weathering the storm
One of the key themes of the conversation is resilience.
Erica challenges the idea that being “unstoppable” means being unbreakable. Instead, she describes it as the ability to bend, learn, and get back up — wiser and more grounded.
In a world where organisations are facing accelerating technological shifts, geopolitical instability and cultural change, that mindset is more relevant than ever.
As Erica explains in the episode, transformation isn’t about predicting every storm. It’s about staying present, responding intelligently, and embracing discomfort as part of growth.
