Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as maths, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms—places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

Drawing on decades of experience as a teacher, coach, and founder of Bright Morning, Aguilar offers a powerful new understanding of resistance, not as a character flaw or a problem to overcome, but as a signal to interpret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the clear, compassionate, story-rich style that has made her one of the most trusted voices in coaching, Aguilar shows that resistance is behaviour on the surface, but underneath it are emotions, threatened human needs, and personal and institutional histories that shape how educators respond to change. At the heart of the book is a transformative insight: resistance does not live only in the teacher. It emerges in the space between a teacher’s protection and a coach’s push. That shift changes everything. It means resistance is not fixed, and it gives coaches far more agency than they may realise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this book especially urgent is its connection to the larger purpose of schooling: serving children. When resistance hardens into cynicism, withdrawal, chronic mistrust, or toxic school culture, it erodes the professional community that strong teaching depends on. It becomes harder for educators to collaborate, reflect honestly, take risks, and create the vibrant, trusting communities that children need and deserve. Bridging one-on-one coaching and group facilitation, \u003cem\u003eHow to Coach Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e brings emotional intelligence, coaching practice, and organisational insight to a topic too often oversimplified. This is not a book about overpowering resistance.
