Mark Hamilton & Terryberry Partner Webinar – From Pushback to Progress: Rethinking Resistance to Change
Webinar10/01 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
RegisterResistance is often not what it seems. In the rush to implement change, especially around culture, it’s easy to label resistance as obstruction. But what if that resistance is revealing something critical about readiness, alignment, or the change project itself?
This webinar explores how to work with resistance rather than against it—including when it surfaces among leaders themselves. Based on 15 years of experience in institutional and organizational change, this webinar examines how resistance can provide valuable input that helps shape a more viable, inclusive, and sustainable path forward.
Participants will learn to use a practical lens for viewing resistance as an opportunity to uncover hidden sources of friction, engage teams more fully, and create solutions collaboratively–solutions that are aligned with both the needs and the culture of the organization. Whether you’re leading a change effort or advising and supporting others during the process, this session offers a new way to approach resistance to change.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand resistance to change as a signal, not an obstacle.
- Identify root causes of resistance and use them to guide stronger alignment and commitment.
- Engage teams in creating solutions, improving accountability and follow through.
- Apply a field-tested model for navigating culture change more effectively.
