Episode 276: "Resistance is the sign of life" says my guest Michael Randel of Randel Consulting Associates. And I agree with him. In this episode we discuss The Power of Pushback and Why Resistance Drives Transformation. Michael outlines why leaders need to prepare the conditions for change, be clear in communicating change, and why tension is not always bad. Leaders can learn from the tensions and incorporate that into leading change and respecting the power of resistance. Whether your association is a federated structure, has chapters, or represents individuals, this insightful episode will help you use the power of pushback to move your organization forward.

In this podcast, Brigitte Lawler from Swiss4Africa describes the work that their non-profit organization, registered in Bern, Switzerland, is currently doing in South Africa. They work with small NPO's in South Africa to break the cycle of poverty,addressing four of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. They were founded by 5 members a year ago and at the time of founding, three of its members were based in Switzerland while the other two are on the ground in South Africa.  They work with local communities to identify their greatest needs and implement a 2-pronged approach by fixing the most urgent short-term needs and building sustainable models for the long term to get them to a point of being self-sustainable.  Their self-sustainable model depends on what best suits a particular community. Swiss4Afrika has realised that these models need to have certain elements: Create an ability to generate income / provide resources to the community so they are not reliant on donations. Develops skills for members of the community that they can apply to contribute to their community well-being. These skills should be transferable so that it enables them to be employable outside of the community. Creates employment opportunities and experience building for members while they are living in the community.  One of their communities is called Soli Deo Gloria Care Centre (Soli), based in Lydenburg. Swiss4Afrika formed an alliance with a global organisation called Meals on Wheels, a type of soup kitchen for the frail and poor in the area. With this alliance, they will be able to train people in kitchen skills and provide a much needed service to the local population. Randel van Heerden, Director of Swiss4Afrika. Randel has volunteered in some interesting places around the world. In South Africa he volunteered as a policeman to assist investigations in crimes committed against children. Randel moved to the Philippines with his wife and volunteered to build a school for the poor on a garbage dump in Manila. With others, he assisted in delivering aid to affected people each time a typhoon blew through Manila.  In Guatemala he assisted an NGO called Constru Casa to build homes for the poor.  In the Ivory Coast, Randel headed up a team of volunteers who helped to renovate the Abidjan zoo. He was sponsored by the Swiss and German embassies as well as the Calao Foundation in Luxembourg, the San Diego Zoo in the USA and private donors. In 2022, Randel and his wife moved to Switzerland and started Swiss4Afrika. Brigitte Lawler, Director of Swiss4Afrika. Brigitte Lawler is the founder of Legenda solutions-focused consultancy specializing in business growth, scaling tech companies and transforming business for the digital world. Having worked in more than 30 countries and lived in 4, Brigitte has developed a global perspective to business in different markets. Brigitte is able to draw on experience as a Global Transformation Manager across several business and functional areas, as well as adapting those skills and competencies in the world of Entrepreneurs and Start-Ups. As a founding member and director of a Non-Profit Organisation, Brigitte equally applies her expertise on organizational, process and people development in an effort to alleviate poverty.

In this episode Randel and Owen continue their talk with Master Paul Koh about Hung Gar, Fu Jow Pai, Martial Philosophy, Training and Teaching. "Master Paul Koh is internationally recognized as one of the world's leading Kung Fu teachers. He has dedicated his life to the study of this ancient Chinese art form, immersing himself in Chinese language and culture since his early teens. He is one of the only major advocates for preserving and promoting this cultural art which, despite being frequently overshadowed today by popular fads, is a timeless and ever-evolving art that goes far beyond a punch and kick.                  With over 40 years of experience, Master Koh has extensively trained with world-renowned Kung Fu masters in 少林洪家虎鶴拳術 Hung Gar Tiger Crane and 少林黑虎門虎爪派 Fu Jow Pai Tiger Claw Kung Fu. He has expertise in classical Chinese weaponry and in traditional Southern lion dancing. Master Koh is not only a martial artist who has dedicated countless hours, days, months and years to the study of his discipline, he is also a true educator, mentor and motivator. He has taught thousands of students and currently maintains a martial art training hall in NYC Chinatown. His knowledge of Kung Fu goes far beyond the physical execution or application of a technique, and extends to the historical and cultural background of Chinese martial arts, as well as the deep philosophical bedrock upon which this art form depends. These qualities, combined with an ability to speak and write clearly and eloquently, make Master Koh a unique phenomenon in the martial arts world.                   In addition to studying, researching and teaching the Chinese martial arts for nearly four decades, Master Koh is an accomplished author, having written several previous texts on the art of Kung Fu, as well as having published many articles in various martial art magazines throughout the years. He currently serves as martial arts consultant on a mystery novel series published by Soho Press and written by John Shen Yen Nee (former executive at DC Comics and Marvel Comics) and SJ Rozan (author of 18 novels, Edgar Award winner). The first novel, The Murder of Mr. Ma, was released in early 2024, and Master Koh's work was hailed by reviewers for his “incredibly orchestrated fight scenes” and “absolutely fabulous displays of martial arts.”                  In 2018, Master Koh launched Kung Fu In A Minute, a unique approach to documenting, promoting and preserving the traditional skills, attitudes, traditions and practice of the art of Kung Fu. Through Kung Fu In A Minute, he has published 14 titles with more forthcoming. The Kung Fu in a Minute library of videos, articles and manuals will further promote, preserve and protect this ancient art form. "WebsiteInstagramFacebook#kungfu #GongFu #MartialArts #wushu #China #Hung Gar #Fu Jow Pai #TigerCrane #tigerclaw#PaulKoh

SummaryIs it that people resist change? That they fear change? Or rather that people fear loss?As a change management consultant, what is the most difficult or frustrating while supporting clients with change management efforts?What is one word most alive right now in the world of change management support?In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Michael Randel, Founder of Randel Consulting Associates, on mastering the ever-complex world of organizational change management.Michael's BioOwner of Randel Consulting Associates, a boutique consulting firm that supports change processes across sectorsFormer Change Consultant in the World Bank's Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness departmentWorked for a Danish development agency in South-East AsiaStarted as an  Organizational Development practitioner in South Africa, at the YMCA during the anti-apartheid struggle. We discuss Michael worked as a young professional in the South African YMCA youth organization during South Africa's apartheid struggles, which was a formative experience for him. It launched his career in change managementHe consults on change management across the private, public, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors. His clients all have in common: a social purpose.Early in his career, he discovered that we overestimate rationality in change management; instead, emotion is a significant factor. We also are simply unable to foresee all factors that will be at play in our change-planning effortsMichael uses a Gestalt approach in his work: in this approach, the forces that energize change are faced with forces that resist change – and Lewin's forcefield analysis tends to apply. Put simply: people tolerate the current state of affairs till it is no longer tolerable. The Gestalt approach stipulates that we may need to intervene at the individual, team, unit organization, or sector level (or a combination)Michael appreciates Rick Maurer's framework on resisting change, which emphasizes 3 factors, embodied in ‘I don't get it'; ‘I don't like it'; and ‘I don't like you'. Each requires its response – and the three should not be confused. Quotes:Eisenhower's quote (paraphrased here) is relevant in change management: “Plans are useless, but the process of planning is useful” Resources:Michael's LinkedIn ProfileRandel Consulting Associates WebsiteBlog post: Resistance to change is often misunderstood YouTube video of this podcastClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: Twitter LinkedIn Facebook

264: Navigating Nonprofit Change: 5 Critical Mistakes to Avoid (Michael Randel)SUMMARYHow can nonprofit leaders effectively navigate resistance and foster genuine support for change initiatives? In episode 264 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Michael Randel delves into the complexities of leading change in a nonprofit organization. He outlines five common mistakes leaders make, emphasizing the importance of fostering two-way communication and understanding the true nature of resistance. Michael introduces a practical framework for addressing resistance, categorizing into three levels: lack of understanding, dislike of the change, and personal mistrust. He also stresses the necessity of involving key stakeholders early in the process and building a culture of psychological safety. By focusing on listening, dialogue, and relationship-building, leaders can better navigate resistance and drive effective, inclusive change. ABOUT MICHAELMichael Randel's interest in group dynamics dates to his time as a university student in South Africa when he was thrust into a living social experiment at the University of Natal, one of the few places at the time where Black and white people interacted as peers. He realized he wanted to support people so that they could have positive experiences as they worked together in groups, rather than being in conflict. With the backdrop of the political protests against apartheid and the birth pangs of a new democracy, he spent almost a decade inside a national youth development organization. He took part in the slow, painful transformation of a rigid, bureaucratic organization to one on meeting the needs of most of the youth across the country. Everything he learned from this experience served him well as he then worked as an organizational change consultant–with nonprofits and government agencies across Southern Africa, and subsequently in a global capacity at the World Bank. Interacting with a wide range of organizations and working in a huge variety of sectors and settings, has sharpened his ability to observe, to see systems at work, to make connections, and to find different ways of doing things. This led to the establishment of Randel Consulting Associates in 2010 with a vision is to support clients who are genuinely engaged in leading change, designing holistic and tailored interventions that suit each organization.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCES The Psychological Safety Playbook by Minette Norman and Karolin HelbigThe 3 Levels of Resistance framework by Rick Maurer: learn more at this link Ready for a Mastermind?  Learn more here!Have you read Patton's book
