Change is inevitable in any organization, but why does it often feel like you’re pushing a boulder uphill? In this episode, Gayle Lantz tackles the complex issue of resistance to change, both within teams and leaders themselves.

Resistance can take many forms — emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and even social. But what if you could harness that resistance and transform it into a powerful catalyst for growth and transformation?

Gayle offers practical, actionable advice that goes beyond the usual platitudes about change management. She provides specific communication strategies and phrases leaders can use to acknowledge resistance, encourage honest dialogue, and shift perspectives.

This episode covers:

  • Different types of resistance and how they manifest in organizations
  • The brain science behind resistance to change
  • Practical tips for fostering open communication and empathy
  • Specific phrases and approaches to use when addressing resistance
  • How to deal with potential sabotage and promote positive behaviors
  • Strategies for leaders experiencing their own resistance to change

Whether you’re leading a major organizational shift or simply trying to implement new processes, this episode will equip you with the tools to navigate resistance more effectively. Learn how to resist the temptation to push against resistance, and instead use it as a valuable tool for understanding and growth.

It’s time to stop fighting resistance and start leveraging it. Tune in to discover how you can turn resistance into a force for positive change in your organization.
