Once you’ve learned to spot and disarm the Resistobots™, the question becomes: What do I do instead? That’s where the C.H.A.N.G.E. Shaper™ comes in.
​
The Resistobots™ thrive on fear—fear of conflict, fear of failure, fear of not being enough. And the harder they run you, the more resistance you invite in others. But there’s an antidote: the C.H.A.N.G.E. Shaper™.

with curiosity & compassion
Change isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about building trust. When you connect with others through genuine compassion and curiosity, you disarm resistance and create space for dialogue. Curiosity opens the door to understanding; compassion builds the bridge to move forward together.

with intention
Not all help is helpful. True change leaders listen first, then step in with purposeful support that addresses what people actually need. Helping with intention means resisting the urge to “fix everything” and instead focusing your energy where it will truly move the needle.

for what is really important
It’s easy to get lost in data, details, or noise. Advocacy means standing up for the bigger picture—for the values, priorities, and goals that matter most. When you advocate with clarity and conviction, you inspire others to rally behind what truly counts.

the business environment
Successful change isn’t just about processes—it’s about people and politics. Navigating the business environment means understanding what matters most to leadership, translating that into frontline relevance, and aligning your work with organizational priorities. It’s how you bridge the gap between strategy and execution while building credibility at every level.

At the end of the day, influence matters. Being a C.H.A.N.G.E. Shaper™ isn’t about convincing everyone—it’s about focusing on the people who truly move the needle. By engaging decision-makers, key influencers, and those with social capital, you create alignment, unlock momentum, and make change stick.

the positive momentum
Energy is contagious. When you show up with courage, optimism, and persistence, you fuel others to keep moving forward. Energizing momentum doesn’t mean being relentlessly cheerful—it means choosing to highlight progress, celebrate wins, and keep people inspired through the journey.
Together, these six traits turn resistance into resilience and frustration into flow. When you practice them consistently, you don’t just lead change—you shape it.
