What you'll learn

Why resistance isn’t about processes, it’s about power

Stop blaming methodology. Resistance lives in people’s turf wars and insecurities.

The 1 conversation that flips resistance into accountability

One blunt talk cuts through excuses and forces clear ownership.

A script you can use tomorrow to cut pushback in half.

Straightforward words that remove confusion and end the endless back-and-forth.

Why this topic matters

Most leaders waste weeks tiptoeing around project resistance. They add more meetings, more slides, and more “alignment,” but nothing changes. In this session, you’ll learn a different approach: one direct, candid conversation that resets expectations, names the fear, and forces ownership. Do it once, do it right, and watch half the resistance disappear overnight.
