Looking for neuroscience based insights to help build resilience, deal with adversity and manage a career reset. I had the pleasure of talking with my friend, Antara Prasad, about this and so much more on Episode 119 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

Her early interest in neuroscience in high school and working in Bruce McEwen’s Lab,

Managing your emotions when under stress,

Overcoming your fear/ limiting beliefs and taking that first step,

The importance of consistency and how hard work trumps talent alone,

Forming good habits and trusting the process,

Building resilience through embracing friction and setbacks,

How mentorship and volunteering can help professionals who are feeling stuck or burnt out reframe the situation,

Avoiding isolating yourself if you lose your job,

Reclaiming and reframing your career narrative if you’re looking to pivot and

Identifying the skills that set you apart and not underestimating their value even if they come easily.

Antara has been a change consultant and trusted advisor to leaders for over 20 years, working with clients like Pfizer, Kellogg's, Hollister, Exelon, and Deloitte. Her approach draws on behavioural science and neuroscience to help people find the meaning behind change — because that's what makes it stick.

She's now channelling that same wisdom into Stand Out Student, her Substack newsletter helping teens build resilience, discipline, and confidence during their formative years. She's also Board Chair of the Inside Out Club, a Chicago-area nonprofit empowering kids ages 6 to 18 to develop character through local service projects and social entrepreneurship.
