What if someones resists adapting?

I'll take this bet: Organizations that continuously adapt will crush those that rush to define and lock a 'new normal.'

The pace in 2026 makes this urgent (this graph shows the spike in uncertainty).

The question I hear most: What if someone resists adapting?

You can't make people change. But here's what's true: Everyone already knows how to adapt. They do it constantly.

I built a fast activity that reframes uncertainty as a strength and reminds people that they've done this before.

Use it in your next team meeting, or 1-on-1 with your most resistant adapter.
