Decoding Resistance

If you're driving change, you'll face resistance—it’s a feature, not a bug. This session helps you get to the root of pushback, from ‘I don’t have time’ to ‘this isn’t our problem.’ Through real scenarios, you'll learn how to keep conversations moving and respond effectively when commitment wavers.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...

You’ve rolled out DEI initiatives — training, policies, conversations — and you keep hitting the same wall: resistance. Some of it’s loud, some of it’s silent, but it’s there. You want to understand where it’s coming from and how to work with it rather than against it. This session is for leaders and practitioners who want to move past resistance and actually drive change.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

● What resistance is really telling you — getting to the root of common pushback
● Lip service vs. real buy-in — learning to tell the difference
● Tested responses — strategies for your toughest critics

WHERE IT WORKS

Decoding Resistance was developed for organizations navigating DEI implementation, and has been delivered in corporate, nonprofit, and public sector environments. It’s particularly effective in organizations with predominantly male leadership, where resistance to culture change is often rooted in unspoken norms about masculinity and authority.
