Why We Resist Change
Change requires us to think rather than do things on “autopilot” – and thinking is hard
Change creates social threat – causing negative emotions to be raised – making thinking even more difficult

Impact on Thinking Negative correlation between threat
activation and resources for clear thinking. Less oxygen and glucose available to the
brain. Diminished cognitive resources make it
harder to find good answers. Automatic defensive thinking and
behaviors surface.

Neuropsychology - Lesson One
Active Listening:
Disengages and quiets the emotional part of brain
Ensures an accurate understanding

Neuropsychology - Lesson Two
Open Ended Questions:
Activate the problem solving
part of the brain
Help create new solution focused mental maps.

Neuropsychology - Lesson Three
Assertive Direction: Focuses attentional
density and strengthens the newly forming mental map Helps ensure execution occurs

Three Simple (But Not Easy) Steps:
1.Active Listening - to reduce emotion and get an accurate perception of the others’ concerns
2.Open Ended Questions - to engage the problem solving part of the brain and start to form a new mental map
3.Assertive Direction - to strengthen the new map
ALL WHILE BEING SENSITIVE TO THE OTHERS’ . . .

Things to Remember in Managing Change Manage your own resistance to change
♦ BELIEFS – Reframe into a problem-solving approach♦ BEHAVIORS - Manage feelings, yourself & others, to focus on
problem-solving♦ RESULTS – Getting the job done, vs., complaining about changes
Help people understand that change has become the status quo
Recognize FEAR is at the core of change resistance and that the fear is a social threat, which equals physical threat in the human brain
Know the stages of change model and leverage it to reduce resistance by using:
ACTIVE LISTENING OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS ASSERTIVE DIRECTION
