Overcoming resistance to change has become the holy grail of change management for the HR leader.  Leaders so often start with the best intentions to steer people toward bright horizons, and then run into a wall of resistance.  We can transition from feeling like we’re working with people and for people, to instead, feel like we’re doing something to them, against them or even in spite of them. Yet, we can only control ourselves.

What looks like resistance in others is an opportunity for us as leaders to ensure that we are giving people what they need to ‘get it, (the Head)’ to ‘want it, (the Heart)’ and to be able to ‘do it (the Hands).’

Agile, proactive leaders intentionally ‘enlighten the Head, engage the Heart and quip the Hands’ to build relationships and get results.

Join us for a highly interactive keynote wherein you’ll learn actionable strategies to persuade others to explore and adopt new ways of working, which is mission critical in this age of disruption across industries around the world.

You will:

• Diagnose your own style of influence, learn about other styles, and give and receive coaching hints to adapt for increased effectiveness.
• Obtain research-based insights about the preferred influence styles of key stakeholders at different levels of the organizational hierarchy, enabling you to flex your approach for maximum impact.
• Reframe resistance from enemy to ally, enabling you to leverage resistance as a powerful source of information to utilize to engage for change up, down, across, inside and outside your workplace, for the benefit of your organization, team and career.
