When “Yes” Means “No”: How to Break Through Hidden Resistance at Work - Ep. 35

Ever leave work more drained from the drama than the workload? It might be the quiet “yes” that secretly means “no,” the stalled follow-through, the vague emails, the smiles with no real commitment behind them. These subtle behaviors can quietly stall progress, erode trust, and drain your team’s energy. In this episode, I reveal what’s really behind this kind of hidden resistance—known as passive-aggressive behavior—why it shows up so often in healthcare, and how to turn it from a trust-killer into honest dialogue and real follow-through. Get ready to end the stall, spark the momentum, and get your team moving forward again!
