Happy (cozy) New Year’s Eve!

If The Change Decision were a restaurant, we would LOVE to be in Des Moines. SUPER-friendly! Off the beaten path. A menu that's inventive and fun. Awesome 80's soundtrack. Vibrant colors. And, every single thing was delicious!! As soon as we walked in, we were like, yeah, this place is for us. If you're ever in Des Moines, find this place! https://www.facebook.com/breakfastclubusa

It can be tempting to avoid the people aspect of implementing a data strategy because it isn’t straightforward even when it seems like it really should be. The problem of managing change is solvable though.

This week we focus on communicating the change about going back to the office. You know about FOMO but have you heard of FONO or FOGO? There's lots to talk about!

We got a chance to give a talk to the next cohort of MS in Business Analytics students at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business last Thursday. 60 students from all over the world, in a Georgetown classroom together in person for the first time for opening residency.

They had so many questions about real Change Leadership and Change Management problems.

It's moments like these when you realize how much you know and how much you love your work. The words we use, the urgency and context changes but the change problems remain consistent and universal.

Plus, a beautiful day to walk the campus! Pure joy at work.

Our next course starts September 13! We teach traditional change management and go beyond that to teach an emergent change approach too for this evolving and hard-to-predict business environment we're all in. Students get the skills and tools to flex for both.

Students also learn how to use the principles of psychological safety to make the workplace culture better through how business change is done, connecting change to growing joy at work. This is based on our Joy Research.

If you're thinking about your next career move, getting your Certified Change Management Professionals (CCMP) designation is a pretty good bet. Change professionals are in huge demand right now. As someone that's been in this business for 20+ years, it's remarkable and encouraging to see! Our course is vetted and approved by the Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP).

People have A LOT questions when change is happening. If you're the leader, that's pressure and it never let's up!

This month in our Change Leadership Series, we focus on how to anticipate what people will ask, how to prepare and how to tune into what they need to hear from you to boost their confidence.

Hope to see you there! https://bit.ly/3v3nyqu

How do you know it’s time to change? When staying the same is harder or risker than the effort it will take to change. When you just can’t stand it anymore. When, for so many reasons, you know it’s the right thing to do.

Looking back at your life and your work, what big changes have you made because it was just too hard or risky to stay the same? What did you do to support yourself? How did you grow? Did you find joy in the process or in the end? What wisdom can you share with others now that you couldn’t before?

You can tap into that wisdom whenever change is hard. You can remember your ability to adapt and grow. You can trust in your resilience. You can make room to notice the good things that emerge. And, you can help others thrive in change. :))
