Change Barriers: Turn Resistance into Readiness
Length: 1 Hour
Change isn’t difficult because people refuse to adapt; it’s challenging because uncertainty causes hesitation. This session, inspired by *Switch: How to Change When Change is Hard* by the Heath Brothers, looks at the human side of change and clarifies why resistance often stems from unclear direction, fear of failure, or lack of motivation.
Attendees will learn how to simplify change initiatives, address emotional barriers, and build a culture where employees feel supported during transitions. Using real-world examples and practical strategies, this session equips HR leaders with the tools to reduce resistance, increase engagement, and transform uncertainty into progress.
Whether leading major transformations or managing everyday shifts, participants will leave with a practical approach to help employees embrace change with confidence. Join us to learn how to overcome barriers and turn change into an opportunity instead of an obstacle.
