5 Reasons People Reject Change

[@hunterschurrer294]

Always good stuff B. So important for people to see so many of the aspects that come in to coaching from the human and the relationship aspect that can NOT be ignored or written off.

Do you think fear could be included in this? Or do you think it is inter-connected with the top 5, and one of the underlying causes? Great stuff, thanks man!

[@BrettBartholomewCoach]

Jenni Laferriere Without a doubt. Fear is a big part of the “vision” component as well as perception and suspicion. Fear can not only make people blind alternative opportunities, but it also can make them tend to be more distrusting in nature overall. Some exercises they can do to get over this are included in this free manual. getfieldguide.com/

Definitely a discussion proved super helpful for me today, right before I'm walking into this room managing colleagues interpersonal conflict. Will be reflecting this to my staffs today. Coach Brett, if you get to see this, do you have a "strategic step" to start a difficult discussion with a colleague/business partner, that is more or less at the equal authority with you?

Here’s some general advice: Prepare: -Know your issue and desired outcome like the back of your hand. -Timing & Setting: Choose a neutral, interruption-free zone. Timing is everything. -Know Their Style: Before you even begin, understand the communication style of the person you’ll be talking to. Are they direct? Analytical? Tailor your approach accordingly. -Prep for Contingencies: Have a mental (or written) list of potential objections or issues the other person might raise, and think about your responses in advance. -Open Tactfully: Initiate with an “I” statement that’s adjusted to their communication style. For instance, for a direct communicator, be straightforward and concise. -Listen & Adapt: Be ready for their concerns and really listen. This isn’t a monologue. -Role Play: With a trusted colleague or advisor, role-play the conversation to anticipate reactions and refine your message. Hope these tips help!!
