ICF & ACMP | From Resistance to Readiness: The Neuroscience of Change (Thursday, July 30, 2026)

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

The ACMP × ICF Carolinas collaboration continues!

Following our May 14 joint kickoff, we are excited to continue the conversation with a session designed especially for coaches, change practitioners, leaders, HR/OD professionals, and anyone who supports people through transition, growth, and transformation.

As coaches, we often work with clients who understand what they want to change — and even why it matters — but still find themselves stuck, hesitant, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward. Change practitioners see something similar in organizations: people may understand the business case, the benefits, and the plan, yet resistance still shows up.

This session explores what may be happening underneath that response.

Together, we’ll look at how neuroscience, coaching, and change leadership can help us better understand resistance — and support people in moving toward readiness, safety, and sustainable action.

Event Description

Why do people resist change — even when the path forward seems clear?

Coaches know that clients do not always move forward simply because they have a goal, understand the benefits, or can identify what is getting in the way. Change practitioners see the same dynamic in organizations: even with a compelling “why,” clear communication, and strong support, people may still hesitate, disengage, overanalyze, avoid action, or comply without true commitment.

That is because resistance is not always logical. Often, it is protective.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind resistance and why the brain can interpret change as a threat — even when the change is positive, necessary, or aligned with a desired outcome.

We’ll also examine the many ways resistance can show up, including behaviors that may not look like resistance at first: silence, delay, perfectionism, over-processing, avoidance, emotional reactivity, or quiet withdrawal.

Through a coaching and change leadership lens, we’ll discuss how to create the conditions that help people feel safe enough to move forward. This includes building trust, increasing readiness, supporting emotional regulation, and helping individuals and teams move from self-protection to meaningful action.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to support people through change — not by pushing harder, but by addressing the human needs underneath resistance.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Understand why change can trigger a self-protective neurological response, even when the change is logical or beneficial.
Recognize different ways resistance may show up in individuals, teams, and organizations.
Explore coaching and change leadership practices that support safety, trust, readiness, and alignment.
Identify how coaches and change practitioners can work together to support more human-centered, sustainable transformation.

Monthly Discussion

"Authentic Core Values that Positively Change Lives"

Core Values are common in most companies. Recruiters leverage them on their Career pages and generate interview questions based on how people will fit within those Core Values. New employees learn about how important the Core Values are on Day 1 of orientation. Existing employees are evaluated on how well they have demonstrated Core Values during performance review cycles. And yet, despite the focus on them, Core Values are often unenforced. When challenged through the way people treat each other at work, Core Values are treated as aspirational rather than the way a business is expected to operate daily. Mixed messaging would be an understatement.

In our session together, we will discuss company Core Values and the human impact they have today vs. how powerful they can be when built authentically. As coaches, we experience how business culture impacts our clients, whether they are frontline employees or executive leaders. If Core Values work, why are they not providing our clients with a more fulfilling work experience? By tapping into the human side of what we do as coaches, we can help people, teams, and entire companies embrace their real Core Values, not the ones that were built to check a box.

"The Coach’s Assessment Compass: Leveraging Assessment Data to Elevate Coaching Conversations"

Navigating DISC, MBTI, and StrengthsFinder with Purpose and Confidence

Assessments are widely used throughout coaching and organizational development. Coaches leverage them to deepen self-awareness, strengthen communication, and support growth. Organizations use them to develop leaders, build teams, and improve collaboration. Clients are often eager to discover “their type,” “their style,” or “their strengths.” And yet, despite how frequently these tools are used, assessments are not always applied with intention. Too often, they become labels instead of lenses for deeper understanding. Insights are oversimplified, misapplied, or disconnected from the coaching goals they were meant to support.

In this interactive session, we will explore DISC, MBTI, and CliftonStrengths to better understand how to use assessments with purpose and confidence in coaching conversations. As coaches, we help clients navigate complexity, relationships, and growth. But how do we determine which assessment best fits the conversation we are trying to facilitate? What unique insights does each tool provide? Where are the limitations, and how can assessment data deepen conversations rather than reduce people to labels?

Together, we will examine the theoretical foundations behind each assessment, explore when and how they can be most effective, and practice applying assessment insights in meaningful coaching interactions. Participants will leave with a practical framework for selecting and leveraging assessments with greater clarity, confidence, and intentionality in their coaching practice.

"Cultivating the Soil for a Coaching Harvest: Beyond the Coaching Conversation"

Many coaches invest deeply in strengthening their coaching skills, yet still encounter situations where coaching feels resisted, underutilized, or slower to take root than expected. This interactive workshop explores the often-overlooked conditions that influence coaching effectiveness and impact. Participants will examine how coaching readiness is shaped before and beyond formal coaching conversations, and how subtle shifts in presence, inquiry, and relational awareness can influence receptivity to coaching in real time. Through reflection, dialogue, and experiential practice, coaches will examine how their own behaviors and presence may either support or unintentionally limit the conditions that allow coaching to flourish and create lasting impact.
