Change as a pathway to growth

**It CAN feel better**

Organizational change is more than just a shift in how to do things or what technology to use; it’s an emotional journey.

At the end of that journey, we're dreaming of accomplishing bold goals and ambitious results. But getting there brings up big, unpleasant emotions like worry, fear, and anxiety.

In a world that feels particularly chaotic and anxiety-provoking, now more than ever, those responsible for delivering results in organizations need to consider the emotions in play.

Instead of letting fear take over and prevent us from reaching our big goals, we can use it as a catalyst to shift behavior:

If we fear it, it must mean growth is coming.

Rather than pretending it doesn't exist, noticing and naming fear is the first step towards growth. It's how I help change leaders, project managers, and HR professionals learn how to influence change.

Emotions shape our actions and decisions.

This principle is widely used in areas like performance coaching, behavior science, and marketing.

Now is the time to use this knowledge in organizations facing change.

Together, we can transform your experience of change. Fear can become hope; challenges can lead to growth. Better change is not just possible; it’s within your reach.

Before

Change feels emotionally chaotic and unpredictable
Strategic initiatives stall out, and project efforts feel tactical and disjointed
Lots of reactive fire drills to address people problems
Change leaders and others managing the work unaware of what they need to do or what good looks like
No way to know if progress is being made on preparing people for change

After

Emotional patterns are recognizable
Emotions connect the dots to inspire and influence
Leaders and teams that anticipate barriers to get ahead of people risks
Leaders and teams who know exactly what to focus on and have defined roles so they work efficiently
Specific behavioral proof points that show progress on people readiness

Kris provides great insights. She hears people and thinks about what they're saying on a deep level.

We would not have been successful without Kris. While we hadn't initially scoped out this need in the project, being able to pivot quickly and include her was invaluable. Thankfully she was available and willing to jump in the fire with us. I wouldn't do another rollout of a platform without a change consultant.

Her encouragement and personal stories helped me become more mindful in making change doable.

From the first meeting with Kris, it was clear she brought a strong change point of view, concrete practices, and would challenge us to consider how we brought our different audiences along with us. Our global implementation was incredibly successful in large part due to intentional actions to inform and involve key stakeholders along the way. I can't imagine doing a project like it without Kris.
