Background
Change is a constant of modern work, yet 70% of change projects fail (McKinsey, 2008). Worse, when handled badly, change projects leave people feeling stressed, cynical and lacking in purpose.
Why?
Because we all fear change. Consider your next big change project; is the biggest risk the internal skills you have to manage the project? The budget you have allocated? Or employee attitudes and management behaviour?
Unless change takes account of complex individual psychology – unless it can be made meaningful – the odds are stacked against it.
Most change projects fail. We’ll help shift the odds that yours won’t.
What I do
- I work with leaders to help them place change in context and to make change meaningful to staff.
- I specialise in helping clients to design ‘people-led’ change which stands more chance of being adopted.
- I’m pioneering the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in organisations, which equips people with scientifically proven skills in building resilience and coping with change.
What I offer
- I design and run change projects, staff surveys, innovative workshops and focus groups which help build a collective understanding of change.
- I offer psychology-based training courses, change consultancy and coaching.
- For organisations and groups facing career change, I offer facilitated group sessions using CareerStorm Navigator, the internationally respected web-based career management tool.
