How to Deal with Resistance
Whether you are a manager, supervisor, or informal leader, or an individual contributor with a great idea to propose, you will encounter resistance in your daily work life.
This fun and interactive session first repositions resistance as a most natural human phenomenon, one that you must first understand from a psychological perspective. Then it proceeds to offer a “cutting edge” response that combines the wisdom of Gestalt psychology and the martial art of Aikkido. Using this approach you will eliminate or, at least diminish, another person’s opposition while you maintain your own integrity and assertiveness and minimize your own frustration and stress.
NOTE: The following is a short, fun, and interactive presentation, ideal for a 20-30 minute time slot.
