Change is inevitable—but how leaders respond to it is what defines their impact.

In this Lead Better replay, we’re joined by Chris Lipscomb, who shares his personal leadership journey—from starting in Chick-fil-A’s Leadership Development Program to making the courageous pivot into coaching. Chris opens up about the internal signals that told him it was time for change, the fears he had to face, and the challenges of stepping away from a path many aspire to.

Together, we unpack why leaders often struggle with change, how self-awareness becomes a critical anchor in uncertain seasons, and how to discern the difference between pushing through difficulty and recognizing when it’s time to pivot. Chris also offers practical, real-world guidance for helping teams move from resisting change to embracing it—and shares a powerful coaching story where change became a catalyst for growth.
