The HIP Method™: Strategic Problem Solving for Change Leaders

As change professionals, we're constantly asked to help organizations navigate complexity, uncertainty, competing priorities, and rapid transformation. Yet many change initiatives struggle not because of poor execution—but because teams are solving the wrong problems.

Join ACMP Carolinas for an engaging in-person workshop and networking event featuring The HIP Method™, a practical framework designed to help professionals identify high-impact problems, think strategically, and drive meaningful results.

Facilitated by Sanford Long, this highly interactive session will introduce participants to the HIP Framework (Hard Work, Innovation, and Proactive Leadership) and a structured 4-Step Problem-Solving Cycle that can be immediately applied to real-world organizational challenges.

Through discussion, experiential learning, and peer collaboration, you'll gain practical tools to strengthen your problem-solving capabilities and elevate your impact as a change leader.

What You'll Experience

✅ Interactive learning and group discussion

✅ Practical tools you can immediately apply at work

✅ Strategic problem-solving techniques for today's change environment

✅ Networking with fellow change professionals across the Carolinas

Change Cafe | The Resistance Reality: Navigating Difficult Employees in Change Management (July 23, 2026)

ACMP & ICF | From Resistance to Readiness: The Neuroscience of Change (July 30, 2026)

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

The ACMP × ICF Carolinas collaboration continues! Building on the momentum of our May 14 joint kickoff, this next session brings change practitioners, coaches, leaders, and related professionals together to explore how coaching and change management can work together to support more human-centered transformation.

Event Description:

Why do people resist change — even when the case for change is clear?

Change practitioners know the importance of communicating a compelling “why,” building readiness, and providing the right support. Coaches know the importance of helping people identify patterns, beliefs, goals, and aligned actions. Yet even when people understand the logic, the benefits, and the path forward, resistance can still show up.

That is because resistance is not always logical. Often, it is protective.

In this session, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind resistance and why the brain can interpret change as a threat, even when the change is positive or necessary. We’ll also examine how resistance shows up in ways that may not look like resistance — including hesitation, disengagement, over-analysis, silence, avoidance, or compliance without commitment.

Together, we’ll look at how both change management and coaching can help create the conditions for safety, trust, readiness, and sustainable action.

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to help people move from resistance to readiness — not by pushing harder, but by addressing the human needs underneath the response.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Understand the neuroscience behind resistance and why change can trigger a self-protective response.
Recognize the different ways resistance may show up, including behaviors that are often missed or mislabeled.
Apply coaching and change leadership principles to create greater safety, readiness, and alignment.

Explore how change practitioners and coaches can work together to support more sustainable transformation.
