About the Book:

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who helps adults learn, grow, or change—including coaches, leaders, facilitators, consultants, instructional coaches, professional learning leaders, and people managers.

If you've ever found yourself wondering what to do when someone pushes back, shuts down, becomes defensive, or seems unwilling to engage, this book was written for you.

Can I read an excerpt?

Yes! You can read the entire introduction chapter for free.

I've already read Arise. Do I also need to read How to Coach Resistance?

Yes.

While Arise explores Transformational Coaching more broadly, How to Coach Resistance takes a deep dive into one of the most common and challenging experiences coaches face: resistance.

Do I need to be a coach to benefit from this book?

No.

Although the book is written through a coaching lens, the ideas apply to anyone leading change, facilitating learning, managing people, or supporting growth.

Many readers will recognize resistance not only in coaching conversations but also in team meetings, professional learning sessions, leadership conversations, and change efforts.

What if I'm a leader or facilitator, not a coach?

The core ideas still apply.

Resistance appears whenever people are asked to learn, change, reflect, or do something differently. Leaders and facilitators will find practical insights to understand resistance and respond more skillfully when it arises in their work.

Will there be opportunities to learn directly with Elena?

Yes.

In addition to the book, Elena will offer workshops, keynote presentations, and other learning experiences focused on understanding and responding to resistance. For most readers, the best next step is the Coaching Resistance Workshop, where you'll learn how to move from understanding resistance to responding skillfully when it arises. Our virtual workshop registration is live! Our in-person workshop registration will open on August 31, 2026.
