Another Door Opens: How to Navigate Change with Eleanor Tweddell

We speak to Eleanor Tweddell, executive coach, change consultant, keynote speaker and author.


We’re back for our new season with an amazing new episode! We chat to Eleanor Tweddell, executive coach and author of “Another Door Opens: Five Steps for Navigating Change in Life and Work”

Eleanor Tweddell joins Zoe and Paul to explore how leaders can face change with more calm, courage and agency. From building the habit of pause to working with the “change monsters” that derail us, Eleanor shares practical ways to turn micro-shifts into momentum, at work and in life. We also discuss how leaders can communicate well through AI-driven uncertainty without fuelling fear or dependency.

Eleanor is an executive coach, change consultant, keynote speaker and founder of Another Door. After two decades in senior corporate roles, she now helps individuals, teams and organisations navigate transformation with clarity and care. Her new book, Another Door Opens, reframes change as a skill you can practise every day.

Through her grounded, energising approach, Eleanor covers essential lessons for anyone leading (or living) through change:

  • Why good change starts by stopping—and how to make “pause” practical, not indulgent

  • Micro vs. macro change: building “change mastery” with everyday habits that stick

  • Working with the “change monsters”: using regret, procrastination and resistance as data, not drama

  • From anxiety to agency: telling the difference between worthless worry and worth-it worry

  • Leading through AI turbulence: clear comms, healthy boundaries and designing rest into programmes

  • Project cadence that lasts: scheduling step-outs so teams return with fresher thinking and energy

Eleanor’s new book, “Another Door Opens: Five Steps for Navigating Change in Life and Work,” is available now in all good bookshops and online. Paul also mentions Eleanor’s live read-along series covering the book chapter by chapter.

Zoe and Paul discuss tech and AI news, from the recent internet outage to AI veganism and AI psychosis.
