Overview

As a new senior leader, you’re not just stepping into a new role – you’re stepping into a world of expectations, resistance, and the responsibility of leading change. You’re expected to make an impact quickly, yet the people you lead might not even be ready to listen. Driving cultural transformation when you’re still trying to establish yourself can feel overwhelming. Your ideas might be met with skepticism, your authority questioned, and you may find yourself battling imposter syndrome. There’s so much to change that you may not even know where to begin.

Join Chris Wong as he shows you how to gain trust and buy-in from a team that’s cautious or resistant, communicate cultural changes without triggering fear, uncertainty, or disengagement, and navigate tough conversations with confidence – turn your skeptics into supporters!

This webinar will focus on the playbook you’ll need with practical strategies to help you handle the self-doubt, frustration, and resistance that come with leading as a new leader. By applying this proven strategy, you’ll learn how to navigate these tough conversations and situations with clarity, empathy, and resilience.

Attendees will learn

  • How to gain trust and buy-in from key stakeholders and team members who may be resistant to your leadership or new ideas.
  • How to communicate cultural change in a way that minimizes fear, uncertainty, and disengagement, while fostering openness and collaboration.
  • How to use storytelling to effectively influence others, even when facing skepticism or pushback.
  • How to navigate difficult conversations to turn emotionally charged situations into opportunities for alignment and progress.
  • How to create a personalized strategy for handling resistance and leading change that reflects your unique leadership style and the specific culture of your organization.
