“I want to thank you for your superior presentation about how to manage change (“Peace”) that you did at our IT all hands town hall. With the current level of stress and uncertainty across our IT teams, it is tricky – at best – to address the topic of how individuals can deal with a tough situation over which they have no control. Both your content and how you presented it struck a wonderful balance, and was received positively by our associates.”

- Mike, CIO

It is widely estimated that two out of every three organizational change efforts fail; some estimates are higher.

Clearly, managing change is a tough gig. 

BETTER CHANGE: Delivering on the True Promise of Change Management challenges conventional change management approaches and reveals what it really takes to drive successful change. 

This book offered insight after insight. It made me think differently and gave me a deeper understanding of how to lead change in a way that’s actually effective, sustainable, and human.

If you work in change, whether formally or informally, this book is well worth your time.
