Presentation Title
How to Find the Hidden Resistance Inside Every Initiative Using the Adaptability Quotient (AQ)
Presentation Speaker
Creator & Keynote Speaker - Change Breakthrough™
Presentation Abstract
What if the most significant risk to your project isn’t the scope, the budget, or the deadline, but the conversation that never happened? Most change doesn’t blow up. It bleeds out in polite nods masking hesitation, in quiet delays, and in friction no one sees but everyone feels. The result? Drained budgets, exhausted teams, and results that fall painfully short. Each year, organizations lose over $900 billion due to failed change initiatives. This is not from a bad strategy, but because the change didn’t stick. In a world where AI, regulatory shifts, and market volatility collide, disruption is just another Tuesday. The margin for error is shrinking rapidly, and ignoring resistance isn’t just risky, it’s also expensive, it stalls execution, fractures teams, and burns out your best people.
That’s why leaders turn to Anastasia Montejano, a globally recognized transformation expert with 20+ years of experience leading enterprise change across five continents. Her Change Breakthrough™ framework helps leaders decode resistance, dismantle hidden barriers, and lead change that actually sticks. The outcome? Faster adoption, higher engagement, and more substantial ROI because change isn’t the enemy, it’s your edge. Are you leading it or chasing it? Learning Outcomes - In this presentation, you will learn how to:
• Recognize how change is breaking the playbook and how to lead through it
• Identify four hidden barriers that sabotage change and how to dismantle them
• Decode hidden resistance signals before they derail progress us the AQ
• Shift the silent stories that stall momentum
• Use the Change Breakthrough™ matrix to map resistance and drive results
