Abstract: It should come as no surprise when even the most exciting initiatives are met with opposition, skepticism, or worse, ambivalence. Bottom line: Change is hard. Perhaps you’ve spent countless hours on strategy, change management plans, and communications. Still to face the ultimate angst of impending resistance. Consider the following, what if you are the problem?
In this session, we will break down the neuroscience behind how the brain’s response to uncertainty manifests itself into actions and behaviors. Then through self-reflection, dive into your leadership style and blind spots that may be thwarting your ability to influence and drive change. Resistance is neither futile, nor a battle to be won. Its an opportunity to adapt, innovate and learn.
