As a career coach focused on responsive mindset, I'd first validate their feelings of resistance - career changes can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Create a safe space to explore what's beneath that resistance "I hear your hesitation about making changes. It's completely natural to feel this way when considering career shifts. Let's explore what's coming up for you." I heavily rely on my 2 tried and tested approaches... Reframe and the Nano Step. Help them see their resistance as their inner wisdom trying to tell them something What's the biggest concern holding you back? The Nano Step: "Instead of thinking about dramatic changes, what's one small nano step that feels manageable to explore your interests?"

To help a client resistant to career change, take a compassionate approach: Listen: Ask open-ended questions to understand their fears and concerns. Validate their feelings. Reframe the perspective: Show how change can lead to growth and new opportunities, emphasizing positive aspects. Break it down: Help them take small, manageable steps to make the change feel less overwhelming. Highlight past successes: Remind them of previous challenges they've overcome, reinforcing their ability to adapt. Provide support: Offer reassurance and let them know you’re there to guide them through each step of the process.
