Manage Resistance like a Pro

Work smarter, not harder to mitigate the impact of Resistance on your change

Resistance often creates fear in project and change teams. We look at the art and science of managing resistance. We explore why humans resist change, how to spot it, and how to manage it. We apply theories from Irrational Change and bring our unique and practical insights to help you work smarter, not harder. Having taken this course, you will look at resistance differently and feel confident in identifying, assessing, and managing the resistance you face.
