In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Tammy Watchorn about what it takes to become a "Change Ninja"! Tammy Watchorn is an experienced change management specialist who honed her expertise through years in the public sector, where she navigated complex organizational challenges. After encountering numerous obstacles to innovation, she developed a strategic approach to change management that she calls the "Change Ninja" methodology - focusing on subtle, effective techniques that eliminate barriers and resistance. As the author of "The Change Ninja Handbook," Tammy offers a unique, gamified approach to change management, helping professionals overcome workplace resistance through practical, often humorous strategies. Following a significant personal challenge, she applied her professional expertise to her own circumstances, demonstrating the universal applicability of her methods. This experience inspired her second book, "The Change Ninja Returns, and this time it's personal," scheduled for release in Autumn 2024.
