Send us Fan MailIt’s one of the hardest moments as a leader, you pour your energy, knowledge, and heart into helping someone grow, only to realize they’re not moving forward. Maybe it’s a client who resists every strategy you put in place, or a team member who refuses to develop skills outside of their comfort zone. The frustration builds, and you start to question yourself. In this episode, we get candid about their own missteps, the lessons we learned the hard way, and the strategies that finally made a difference. Together, we dive into what really drives resistance (spoiler: it’s often fear, not laziness), how to tell the difference between someone who’s stuck but willing versus someone who’s stuck and resistant, and why you can’t force curiosity or ambition. What to listen for in this episode:The hidden role of fear in resistance, why “not growing” isn’t always about stubbornness or laziness.The difference between stuck but willing vs. stuck and resistant and how leaders should respond to each.Seven strategies for leading with compassion, including creating psychological safety, modeling curiosity, and knowing when to part ways.Special thanks to Josh Parnall for submitting this week's question: The challenges of developing someone who doesn’t want to grow.
