Description:
Most change initiatives don’t fail because of bad strategy, they fail because of predictable, human mistakes. In this highly engaging session, Jeremy Lane uses an inversion-based approach to explore how leaders unintentionally create resistance, disengagement, and stalled momentum.
Rather than starting with best practices, Jeremy walks audiences through a satirical but uncomfortably familiar guide to failure highlighting the behaviors, assumptions, and communication breakdowns that almost guarantee resistance. He then inverts each principle, equipping leaders with practical frameworks for stakeholder engagement, communication, and trust-building.
Drawing from real-world transformation leadership and grounded in the same human dynamics that shape organizational and personal change, this session helps audiences see resistance not as opposition, but as information. Participants leave with renewed clarity, sharper self-awareness, and concrete commitments they can apply immediately to lead change without losing people in the process.
