“Pushback or Possibility? Turn Resistance into Results”

Every leader encounters pushback—whether it’s from colleagues, clients, or within themselves. Too often, resistance gets labeled as a problem to avoid. But what if it wasn’t a roadblock? What if it was a signal pointing you toward growth and better results?

Deborah Naish will show you how curiosity and resistance can become two of your most powerful leadership tools. Discover how to shift from fighting resistance to using it as a guide—and walk away ready to turn obstacles into options. www.deborahnaish.com
