Statement
Mark Twain said it best: "The only person who likes change is a wet baby!" While this may not be universally true, it is certainly very often the case. But there are many things which managers driving change can do to mitigate employee unease with the changes they are encountering. My goal as a change professional is to help my clients understand what change means for different stakeholders, and to help communicate with and engage this essential audience, in order to increase understanding and acceptance of the change program.

Beyond that ...
... my two small children keep me hopping, but when time allows you might well find me singing and playing my guitar in Irish pubs, running, skiing and reading history and biographies.
