65. Best of Ask Dr. Change - Framing Change for Success: From Fear to Possibility

Tue, 05 May 2026 19:05:03 +0000

Best of Ask Dr. Change - Season 1.

Leaders have a critical choice to make when initiating change. How they frame and communicate the change impacts how it’s received and embraced by the organization. Understanding the motivation behind change – whether it’s a wake-up call, a threat, a vision of something different, or an inspiration – is paramount.

Our episode begins with a thought-provoking question from Charles, a seasoned change management consultant. Charles is grappling with a challenging scenario where leaders have framed a crucial change in negative, threatening terms. The fear and uncertainty this has generated are casting a long shadow over the change process. Rumors are rife, fear and anxiety fuel decision-making and communications, and progress seems to have stalled.

So, how can we navigate this situation? What strategies can we employ to shift the narrative from fear to possibility? These questions are at the heart of today’s discussion.

We’ll explore the human dynamics when change is announced in compelling and positive terms versus negative terms. We’ll discuss strategies for how to turn things around if the initial launch message is threatening and delve into the rationale for leaders consciously focusing on what is possible to co-create when the outcome is successful.

64. Best of Ask Dr. Change - Clarifying Your Role and Style For Change Consultants and Coaches

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:11:43 +0000

This episode surfaces several important issues about how we as consultants and coaches can best support the people tasked with making change. It is critical to consciously shape our role and style so that we meet the needs of our clients in the best way possible. Too often, consultants and coaches have been trained in a specific approach that becomes “one size fits all.” In the context of major change, that doesn’t always work! It is our job to help our clients see what they don’t see, in ways that support them to be successful.

Come hear about the various choices we have about our roles — and styles of executing them — so we can best meet the needs of our change clients, be they leaders, project managers, or change project teams. Come learn a powerful technique for doing so. Expanding your ability to see what is needed, adjust your approach and provide invaluable guidance can produce a breakthrough for you!

63. Best Of Ask Dr. Change - Getting Leaders to Hear the Wake Up Call for Change

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:36:02 +0000

Best of Ask Dr. Change - Season 1.

Do your too-busy leaders miss seeing important information that they know they need to make? Many leaders miss, ignore or side-step information that serves as a wake-up call… and instead press the snooze button until things get painful.

In today's episode, I answer the question: "What triggered the major changes you are leading, and how do we get leaders to pay attention to it earlier?"

We’ll explore what constitutes a wake-up call, how to illuminate the earliest indications that a change is needed, and the importance of engaging leaders in this crucial first step toward making their most critical changes.

This episode is a must-listen if you want your leaders to be aware and listening for the changes needed in your organization.

58. Critical Change Decision: Determining Your Project’s Pacing Strategy

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Every project declares a timeline early in its life cycle. However, that declaration too often misses much of what determines its success!

Its first task is designed to support individuals and intact work teams to openly and safely discuss what is working, what still needs attention, and what might now need to be improved for optimal performance. Its second task focuses on the whole system engaged or impacted by the New State solution now that it has been implemented. All stakeholders gather to describe their part in the New State, what they need to fulfill their purpose and what they offer to others once the do. This enables everyone to see the full picture of how the New State needs to operate to fully achieve its results.

53. Bonus Episode! “Is Your Organization Change Allergic?” with Anne Gotte interview on Change Signal

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:38:24 +0000

In this bonus episode of Ask Dr. Change, Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson shares an episode from the Change Signal podcast, hosted by Michael Bungay Stanier. Linda found this particular conversation especially relevant for leaders and consultants engaged in transformational change and wanted to bring it directly to her audience.

The featured episode—“Is Your Organization Change Allergic?”—explores why many organizations don’t simply resist change but have a deeper, systemic “allergy” to it. In her conversation with host Michael Bungay Stanier, Anne Gotte, SVP of Global Talent & Organization Effectiveness at Mondelēz International, challenges the idea that traditional change management is sufficient in today’s environment. She argues that modern organizations require an ongoing capacity for change, not episodic interventions.

Together, Anne and Michael examine the limits of top-down “decree change,” the importance of building emotional tolerance for uncertainty, and why embracing messy, imperfect leadership is often the most effective path forward. The dialogue offers grounded insight and practical guidance for anyone leading or supporting complex transformation efforts.

Phase VI of the Change Leader’s Roadmap is a continuation of the Impact Analysis work done in Phase V. Here you take the impacts and issues you identified and grouped and determine resolutions to them, translated into actions that can then be compiled into the Implementation Master Plan. Key is integrating actions to accelerate work when it is being implemented. Your plan needs to reflect the four quadrants—actions to address mindset, behavior, culture and of course, the content changes require by the project. Phase VI also prepares the people engaged and impacted by the project to be ready to take on the future state through training or site visits and the like.

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 13:28:12 +0000

Phase III of The Change Leader’s Roadmap: Assess the Situation to Determine Design Requirements enables the upcoming Design work for your project to be handled in the most informative and aligned way possible. In it, you are assessing relevant (four quadrant) aspects of the organization and its culture for what already support your desired future state, what blocks it and what might need to be added brand new. It also considers best practices from other organizations who have made this type of change, and importantly, requests input from your stakeholders and end-users. One unique addition to this phase is the determination of the leaders’ boundary conditions for the solution--what are the “givens” or lines in the sand the design scenario must respect. All this helps to align the people doing the design to know what the solution needs to meet to be successful, your Design Requirements.

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 08:00:00 +0000

All projects address designing the solution for the future state. However, most set up a Design Team or use consultants primarily of content experts to come up with their best recommendation. However, recall: “Having the solution is not the solution”! The design process directly impacts your ability to get the solution adopted and sustained. Content expertise, while essential, is not sufficient, especially if your project is transformational. To consciously address scope and design, we need to also clarify mindset, culture and stakeholder behavior, all required for a complete picture of how the new state needs to function. The episode discusses the importance of these competencies as well as expansion of the design process to ensure the best solution is generated and can be adopted and sustained. How do you address design and is it working for you?

21. Beyond Change Management: Requirements To Lead Transformational Change

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Most organizational change efforts rely on the tried-and-true approaches of Project Management and Change Management. However, when a project is transformational, it requires an expanded approach, beyond these two. Transformational change has a unique set of requirements that need attention before—and after—these standard approaches come in to play. This episode outlines the distinctions of transformational change and how you can lead and consult to it so it is launched, designed, implemented and adopted for sustained results. This requires Conscious Change Leadership. Building off the value of traditional approaches, Conscious Change Leadership executes the start-to-completion strategies for transformational success. How can you expand your role to take on Conscious Change Leadership?

As a Change Consultant, when should I consider not accepting a project because of clear adverse leadership, buy-in or cultural issues?

12. Raising Leaders' Awareness of the People and Process Requirements of Leading Change

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Most leaders are rightfully focused on getting the best content solution designed and implemented to satisfy a need in the organization. However, this focus requires additional attention on how the stakeholders will be impacted and engaged, and how the change process is designed to ensure the best solution is generated, implemented, adopted and sustained.

This podcast describes the types of attention needed and ways to reach these leaders so they begin to appreciate and take on influencing how people are affected and the change process is designed.

11. Transformation Will Never Go As Planned! How To Set It Up For Rapid Course Correction

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Every change effort requires a reliable plan to make happen.
However, some types of change are well led with pre-determined plans and
others, like transformational efforts, are not. Why? So much is emergent in
transformation that change leaders and the team need to be supported to figure
things out as the project proceeds. Changes in direction or process are
inevitable and cannot be seen as mistakes if they provide critical information
about what is really needed to succeed. This is a specific condition for
success in transformation: establishing a strategic learning and course
correction system that can be publicly supported and encouraged. This is a
significant paradigm shift for leaders, project managers and typical project
teams. Only with timely input and response to indicators for course corrections
can a transformational effort stay on its course and come to fruition. This
episode explores the power and necessity for creating an agile course
correction system and process for your change efforts.

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 05:00:00 +0000

Today’s topic surfaces several important issues about how we as consultants and coaches can best support the people tasked with making change. It is critical to consciously shape our role and style so that we meet the needs of our clients in the best way possible.

& Change Consultant – Portland, Oregon
