SUMMARY:When Change is Important- and Still Does Not Happen
DESCRIPTION:You’ve tried motivation\, accountability\, reminders\, and discipline. And still\, it doesn’t stick. This workshop starts with a liberating truth: This is not a willpower problem. \nInstead\, there are hidden forces—often invisible to us—that quietly work against change in order to protect us. Until those forces are understood\, real change remains frustratingly out of reach. \nIn this interactive workshop\, you’ll learn a proven\, research-based process that helps you: \n● Identify what’s really blocking change (beyond habits and surface behaviors) \n● Understand the hidden commitments and assumptions keeping you stuck \n● Replace self-criticism with clarity and compassion \n● Create a practical path forward that works with your internal system—not against it \nIt’s a powerful framework for sustainable change\, especially for thoughtful\, capable people who are tired of feeling stuck despite their best intentions. \nYou’ll leave with: \n· A clear map of why change has been so difficult \n· A new way to think about resistance (in yourself and others) \n· A concrete strategy you can begin using immediately\nIf you’ve ever said\, “I know what to do—I just don’t do it\,” this workshop is for you. \nAbout the Presenters \nKari Meyer is a leadership coach who partners with leaders across business and nonprofit sectors to navigate complexity\, change\, and high-stakes challenges.
