Maximize Impact
20 years of people transformation across 5 continents, distilled into an instantly applicable strategy to turn resistance into results.
It’s time for a new blueprint
Support for change has collapsed — from 74% to 38%.
Why?
Because most organizations misread the critical signal:
your people’s resistance.
But resistance isn’t the obstacle.
It’s intelligence under stress,
a compass showing leaders where action is most needed.
When your plan stops at strategy and timelines,
it misses the real driver of results:
the Human Edge that powers change.
