Change is inevitable

Sometimes it’s planned, and sometimes it arrives uninvited.

And the rate of change is increasing.

The implications for change fatigue, burnout, and resistance are huge.

You have smart, experienced project managers. But traditional project management – as excellent as it is – doesn’t teach how to deal with the emotional reactions and resistance that change creates.

Even though emotional reactivity and resistance are real and significant factors in whether your change initiative succeeds – or struggles.

Which means every organization needs to understand how to lead through the upheaval and disruption of change, the resistance to change – and it’s why I believe change leadership, the skills and tools I teach, is a true competitive advantage.

How I help

I offer specialized support for the people and cultural aspects of your change initiative, increasing success and decreasing frustration, failure rates, and timeline or financial overruns, preventing the people problems that derail change initiatives.

I’ve been there, done that as a business analyst, project manager, and professional services department director.

And I’ve been there, done that as a consultant and change leadership expert, helping clients understand the people side of change initiatives.

I can show your people how to manage the impact of change on themselves and their teams, helping them develop resilience to change and create both a better experience and better outcomes.

And I’ll do it with a sense of fun and playfulness. Because learning works best with a little humor – and if we’re not having fun, what’s the point?

So, yeah, if you want a buttoned-up “professional,” that’s not me. But if you want real impact and results, let’s talk.

Why me?

I’m a leadership geek with a side of MacGyver-like resourcefulness – and a recovered (!) corporate executive who grew up in tech and finance as a business analyst and software developer, creating business intelligence systems that people said couldn’t be done. (Go ahead. Ask me about that!)

Years of executive leadership and employee mentoring through multiple change initiatives – some successful, some not – mean I know what it takes to create successful, sustainable change. And after years of research, practice, study, reading, and thinking … well, my perspectives on change leadership are different from most mainstream approaches – and they tend to get better results.
