Why Do Some People Embrace Change While Others Resist It?
Why do some people push through obstacles while others stay stuck?
Why does change feel impossible—even when we know it’s necessary?
Some of our Clients and Conferences
The answer isn't more effort. It’s not about forcing compliance.
A Growth Mindset alone won’t get you there.
Believing you can grow doesn’t mean you’ll take action.
It doesn’t mean you’ll push through doubt.
It doesn’t mean you’ll stay motivated when things get hard.
You’re caught in a cycle of chasing compliance, managing frustration, and hoping your leadership sticks:
People resist change.
Motivation fades.
Old habits keep winning.
People feel overwhelmed and burned out.
We’re Disrupting Growth Mindset Training
Growth Mindset was the start. But it’s NOT the whole picture.
The Catalyst Mindset™ Approach:
The Five Mindsets That Actually Drive Change
Because, apparently just knowing about Growth Mindset doesn’t make people any less allergic to change.
Value Mindset:
I believe this has value for me.
Ownership Mindset:
I believe in taking responsibility.
Belonging Mindset:
I believe I belong here.
Success Mindset:
I believe I can succeed.
Growth Mindset:
I believe I can improve.
What Happens When Mindsets Shift?
✔ People stop resisting and start leading their own growth.
✔ Teachers take ownership of their classrooms instead of relying on mandates.
✔ Leaders build buy-in instead of chasing compliance.
✔ Parents raise confident, resilient kids who embrace challenges.
✔ Teams move from burnout to momentum—because they believe in the work.
Change doesn’t happen when people are forced into it.
It happens when they believe in it.
The Catalyst Mindsets™ take a human-centered approach to learning and leadership, determining whether people grow, resist, or stagnate:
✦ Most coaching focuses on tasks. We focus on mindsets.
✦ Because when people think differently, they act differently.
