Turning Resistance into Momentum
Understand what sits underneath resistance and use story to help people move forward.
Change rarely stalls because the organisation has failed to produce enough information. More often, people are trying to make sense of what the change means for them: what they may lose, whether they can succeed in the new environment and whether the people leading the change understand their reality.
This masterclass helps leaders look beneath visible resistance and identify the beliefs and concerns driving it. Participants then explore practical narrative tools for creating clarity, capability and momentum around change.
The session can be applied directly to a transformation, restructure, technology rollout, cultural shift or other live organisational change.
Learning outcomes
Participants will learn how to:
- recognise resistance as useful information rather than simply obstruction
- explore the beliefs and concerns that may sit beneath visible behaviour
- use five practical levers: Curiosity, Clarity, System Support, Capability and Role-modelling
- communicate a more compelling picture of where the change is going
- connect leadership behaviour and organisational support to the story being told
- apply the tools to a live change they are currently leading or experiencing
Best for
Transformation leaders | people managers | change teams | communications teams | senior leadership groups | organisations in periods of significant change
Participants leave with
A clearer diagnosis of the resistance surrounding a live change and practical narrative actions for building momentum.
