Resistance to Change is not the enemy. It's a compass.
You fear the unknown and seek answers, yet it often feels like no one is listening. You’re labeled a change resistor, a naysayer, a disruptor — and many want to silence your voice. Change can feel overwhelming, but standing firm in your beliefs is what feels right and safe. How can you make your voice heard when resistance to change is all they see?
