What if resistance isn't something to overcome, but something to work with? And what if that uncomfortable tension you feel when facing change is pointing you toward something valuable on the other side?This solocast dives into the emotional messiness of change through the lens of a recent house move. It’s one of life's most stressful transitions. You'll discover how loss aversion creates natural tension between holding onto what we treasure and stepping into the unknown, and why this tension is is feature, not a bug, in the system..Through honest reflections on leaving my much-loved home for a fresh start, I'll share three practical approaches that helped navigate the interior world of transition. This isn't just about personal change – these insights translate directly into how you can lead your team through organisational shifts, restructures, and new directions.You'll learn:Why resistance is a signal pointing toward possibility, not an obstacle to eliminateHow loss aversion affects our ability to embrace change – and what to do about itThe power of being in motion and creating meaningful involvement during transitionsWhy acknowledging the full range of emotions speeds up the change processHow to lean into the new while honouring what you're leaving behindThree practical strategies for leading your team through change without fighting their resistanceWhy showing what's now possible matters more than pushing people to let goHow to create non-judgmental spaces for people to process transitionWhether you're facing personal change, leading organisational transformation, or simply wanting to get better at navigating life's inevitable shifts, this episode will change how you think about resistance and what lies on the other side of it.I also mention Jason Clark's "Four Doors of Change" tool.
