Navigating Change: How Leaders Can Overcome Resistance and Build Resilience

Overview:

In this session, Susana Jiménez will share practical tools and insights to help leaders guide their teams through change with empathy and effectiveness. You’ll learn how to understand the emotional dynamics behind resistance, build resilience at both individual and team levels, and lead transitions in ways that inspire trust and commitment. Through real-life examples, you’ll discover how small leadership shifts can make the difference between resistance and engagement.

Why you should Attend:

Most change initiatives fail not because of bad strategy, but because leaders don’t know how to manage human resistance. When communication falters and uncertainty spreads, engagement drops, projects stall, and key talent starts looking elsewhere. Ignoring these dynamics can quietly drain time, money, and trust from your organization.

This session will equip you with the tools to anticipate resistance, respond strategically, and build resilience in your teams so change becomes an accelerator, not a threat. If you don’t master these skills, you risk watching great plans fall apart in the face of hesitation and doubt.
