Resistance is often a natural byproduct of growth and change. In this session, leaders will learn to identify how resistance manifests in themselves and others, reframing it not as an obstacle, but as an unmet need. By connecting this understanding to staff wellness, we will explore how responding with intention can reduce stress, build trust, and foster a supportive culture. Participants will leave with practical strategies to transform difficult moments into opportunities for retention, ensuring staff feel heard, empowered, and motivated to stay.
