Leading Through Change: What’s Really Getting in the Way
Most organisations are good at talking change. They’re not as good at making it happen.
Research shows that around 70% of change programmes fall short, and only 1 in 4 sustain results over time. The gap isn’t strategy, it’s behaviour.
At the heart of this is something simple: people engage with change when they feel connected to it and resist when they don’t.
In this 90-minute interactive session, we’ll focus on what’s really happening behind the change, for you and for the people you lead.
Using our two simple, practical tools, the Rising Vibrational Scale and the A→B Framework, you’ll leave with clarity on:
- Why we resist change (even when it makes sense)
- What might be getting in the way - for you and others
- How to move things forward using a coaching conversation (and you don't have to be a coach!)
This is a highly practical session. No theory overload. Just simple, practical tools you can apply immediately to alleviate your organisational change challenges.
