Resistance Isn't the Enemy — Here's How to Work With It, Not Against ItNew staff. New initiatives. New curriculum. And right alongside all of it: resistance. Every school leader hits it heading into a new year — the question is what you do with it.In this episode, I sit down with Becca Silver, author of The Resistance Solution, who drops a line that reframes the whole conversation: "Resistance is a human experience and not something to be demonized." We dig into why resistance shows up when change lands, how to stop treating it as a problem to eliminate, and what it actually takes to lead people through it instead of around it.If you're planning your goals and initiatives for the year ahead, this episode will change how you think about the pushback before it even happens.In This Episode:Why resistance shows up every time change enters a school — new staff, new initiatives, new curriculumBecca Silver's reframe: resistance as a human experience, not something to fix or fightWhat changes when you stop treating pushback as a problem to eliminatePractical ways to lead people through resistance instead of steamrolling past itHow this mindset shift sets you up for a stronger year aheadLinks Mentioned:The Resistance Solution by Becca Silver The Whole Educator Podcast with Becca SilverLearn about The Clarity Cycle Framework for SchoolsLoved this episode?Reply and let me know what landed for you — I read every [email protected]
