Turn Resistance Into Enthusiasm

You've invested in new processes, systems, or strategies to improve your business. But your team is pushing back, going slow, or quietly sabotaging the changes. Sound familiar?

I help Australian small businesses successfully implement change by getting their teams genuinely excited about new ways of working. The secret? Involving people in the process instead of imposing change on them.

Why Most Changes Fail (And How to Fix It)

What Happens When Change Goes Wrong

  • Team members ignore new processes and keep doing things the old way
  • Passive resistance - people say yes but find excuses not to follow through
  • Your investment in new systems, software, or processes gets wasted
  • Productivity drops during the transition and never fully recovers
  • Valuable team members become frustrated and consider leaving
  • You end up micromanaging to force compliance, creating tension
  • Changes take 3-6 times longer than planned to stick properly

What Happens With Proper Change Management

  • Team members actively champion new processes and help improve them
  • Enthusiastic adoption because people understand the "why" behind changes
  • Maximum ROI from your investments in new systems and processes
  • Productivity initially drops during transition but improves quickly and continues to grow over time
  • Team becomes more engaged and confident in their abilities
  • Self-managing teams that take ownership of continuous improvement
  • Changes stick permanently and become "how we do things here"

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does change management typically take? +
It depends on the complexity of the change and your team size. Simple process changes might take 4-8 weeks, while major system implementations could take 3-6 months. The key is realistic planning and proper support throughout the transition.
What if my team is really resistant to change? +
Resistance is normal and often indicates people care about their work. I help you understand the root causes of resistance and address them directly. Usually, resistance comes from fear, lack of understanding, or feeling excluded from the process - all fixable with the right approach.
Do you work with remote and hybrid teams? +
Absolutely. Change management for remote and hybrid teams requires different strategies, but it's definitely achievable. I use digital tools and virtual engagement techniques to ensure everyone feels included and supported through the change process.
Can you help with technology implementations? +
Yes, technology changes are some of the most challenging because they affect daily workflows. I focus on the human side - helping people understand benefits, building confidence with training, and ensuring ongoing support until the new technology becomes second nature.
What size businesses do you work with? +
I have experience managing change in small, medium and large teams. However I do like to specialise in smaller teams as at this size, change can feel very personal and relationships matter enormously. I understand the unique dynamics of small teams and how to manage change without disrupting the close-knit culture.
