What if resistance isn’t a barrier, but a guide? Explore how embracing it can lead to more human-centred, lasting change.

Resistance is often framed as a barrier to overcome, but what if it is a doorway to better outcomes?

In this virtual meetup, we will explore resistance as a natural and useful part of the change process.

What we’ll cover:

  • Why resistance exists and what it’s really telling us
  • The rise of mindfulness and emotional intelligence in change work
  • Recognising and addressing unconscious resistance
  • Techniques for holding space, listening deeply and moving through resistance rather than ignoring it
  • How embracing resistance can lead to more human-centred, sustainable change
