Full Program

After a turbulent few years, the rules have changed for communicating and influencing people effectively. If you've ever found yourself facing resistance to your ideas - whether it's challenges in enrolling new members, persuading people to make a change, or innovating on a new approach - you're not alone. Even when we have a great idea or opportunity that will affect enormous change, we don't always get the reaction - or action - we're hoping for.

The reason? There's a LOT working against change, and most of it is intimately tied to human nature... and we often leave it unaddressed.

• We spend the majority of our energy making our ideas and changes more compelling, more interesting, more attractive -- pouring on the fuel -- that we don't consider the frictions that are working against us.
• Unless we have new strategies to address life's inherent awkward bumps and new ways to address these psychological forces living in tension, our ability to grow to our potential and overcome change will never be as successful as we hope, and this can be a huge barrier to getting what we WANT.

In this interactive session we will uncover and explore the 4 main reasons why people resist change, and more importantly, how to overcome them to move our ideas, initiatives, and mission forward.

The impactful World Café model is an innovative, fun, and unique way to host fruitful conversations to identify patterns and derive insights about the most pressing leadership issues facing women today. Join us as we transform ideas into actions in the playful yet informative style of peer learning and networking.
