Change Management Speaker

Change Management Speaker and Author Mike Hourigan

“Most people do not want to embrace what they fear, and most people fear something about change.”
Mike Hourigan

Here is what Change Management Speaker Mike Hourigan is not going to tell you in any of his change management programs or keynote speeches:

- He is not going to tell you to embrace change because most people would rather erase it than embrace it.

- He is not going to tell you change is going to get easier because the pace of change will continue to accelerate.

What he will tell you about change is the effect change has on people at all organizational levels. Mike will tell you why change is predictable and when you can predict it, you can do so much more than react to it, you can be prepared for it.

“Mike’s program was much more than a “motivational” seminar on change.  It was an inspirational and energizing session that provided us with the tools and insights to manage change within our department, the BMS organization and in our personal lives as well.
- Bristol-Myers Squibb
