Wednesday, March 4th - From Resistance to Results: How to Turn Pushback into Progress
Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 12PM - 1PM Southern State Community College, Room 107, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro, Ohio 45133 CLICK HERE TO RSVP Presented by: Mike Thompson, MBA, Owner, Mountain View Leadership Resistance shows up everywhere—on the frontline, in meetings, in safety conversations, and in moments of change. What separates high-performing organizations from struggling ones isn’t the absence of difficult people, but the ability to work skillfully with them. From Resistance to Results reframes pushback not as a problem to eliminate, but as information to leverage. This presentation equips leaders, HR professionals, safety managers, supervisors, and employees at every level with practical, human-centered strategies to transform resistance into engagement, accountability, and forward momentum. The session is organized around three common patterns of workplace resistance—and proven approaches for navigating each one effectively. This presentation delivers tools that are practical, respectful, and immediately applicable, helping organizations move from frustration and stalemates to collaboration and results.
