Plans don't change people. Conversations do.
I'm Jeff Wetherhold
I help leaders move from good intentions to real, lasting change in their organizations and communities.
After 20+ years supporting teams, here’s what I’ve learned: Traditional change management sets people up to fail.
Reaching change means reaching those who are skeptical or disengaged. This requires proven skills to engage and motivate others.
Ready to lead change that actually works?
Most changes don't change anything
88% of organizational change efforts fail to deliver any lasting results. That's staggering.
Why? Organizations focus on plans and information while ignoring the conversations that make or break change.
We teach people how to think about change but rarely how to speak to it. Without those skills, plans fall flat, leaders burn out, more employees leave, those who remain disengage, and change slips further from our reach.
There is a better way to lead change.
Reaching change starts with changing minds
I’ve helped hundreds of teams across health care, tech, government, and non-profits turn stalled change efforts into lasting impact.
Real change starts with cultivated skill in engaging and motivating others to be part of it. Forget about the perfect plan, script, or pitch deck. Start with hard skills that help others change with you. The rest will follow.
I am a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner, a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers, and a faculty member with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
If your team is stuck, it’s time to take a different approach.
