FUEL PD Bootcamp - Leading People Through Change: Driving Adoption & Overcoming Resistance

Change is more than a new process, a reorg, or a software rollout. It is a human experience, and even strong ideas can fail when people do not understand them, trust them, or adopt them. If you have ever watched a solid initiative stall in confusion, resistance, or fatigue, you are not alone.

This high-impact workshop introduces Kotter’s 8-Step Process, a time-tested roadmap for leading organizational change in a way that sticks. You will learn how to move beyond announcing change to actually leading it, building urgency, creating shared ownership, and guiding teams from early momentum to lasting impact. Designed for professionals who are ready to elevate their leadership, this session delivers practical tools you can apply immediately to your next initiative, whether you are leading the work directly or influencing across teams.

Attend, and you will:

- Learn how to use Kotter’s 8-Step Process to move from urgency to sustained cultural and operational change

- Explore strategies for articulating the “why” and building authentic buy-in across stakeholders

- Practice techniques for anticipating resistance and turning skepticism into shared ownership

- Learn how to maintain momentum and avoid common pitfalls that lead to change fatigue

- Leave with a practical approach you can apply to a real change initiative, starting immediately

Join us for an energizing after-work session that strengthens one of the most career-defining capabilities in today’s workplace: leading people through uncertainty with clarity and confidence. Bring a change you are navigating now, and leave with a structured approach to drive adoption and results.
