I’ve had my fair share of managing change and challenge in the workplace. Some experiences have been great and, quite honestly some less so – this seems to be true for plenty of other folk too. My experience has led me to question how to create a better change experience for everyone; for the leaders who must lead change, the teams who deliver it, and the individuals who experience change. I wanted a way to talk about the human side of change, to increase the sustainability of change that organisations are still striving to achieve. So, in 2019, I took the step to branch out on my own and created Midsummer to achieve that ambition.
