With a business climate characterized by instability and rapid change, who hasn’t encountered setbacks? Resilience is not only a key leadership trait, but also a necessary life skill. When encountering a life-disrupting event, it is important to learn how to recover and not crumble, become better and not bitter, and emerge stronger and not weaker. Overcoming your Resistance to Change is about understanding the stories we tell ourselves and re-writing those stories to work with rather than against ourselves—to turn our resistance into insight and our insight into action and growth.

Change is happening in your organization. Every day, new initiatives and projects are launched to improve performance, increase profits, and enhance your competitive advantage. The execution gap remains a challenging question in all organizations. Why do we struggle to execute our well-designed strategies and plans? Resistance to change is the often-discovered culprit. Change management is a crucial building block to bridge this gap.

How do you respond when you lose your job, face an unwanted move, or get your heart broken? Can painful experiences lead to positive change? Fortunately, you can do more than “go” through these painful seasons. You can “grow” through them.
