April Callis-Birchmeier
Change doesn't have to be hard. Organizational change management takes the pain out of change by getting people ready for change.
April is an internationally known organizational change management expert who has implemented transformational change for clients including the State of Michigan, AAA, and Whirlpool.
As a Project Management Professional, focused on large enterprise projects, she became frustrated when projects didn't include organizational change management principles and techniques, causing people to suffer through unorganized, poorly managed change and the resulting negativity.
To combat this trend, she developed her signature system to increase change adoption and authored the #1 Amazon bestseller "READY, Set, Change! Simplify and Accelerate Organizational Change".
April is a dynamic, engaging speaker who shares memorable and effective tactics to prepare people for change. She takes the mystery out of the methodology and provides practical approach, plan and resources that work.
As President of Springboard Consulting, she teamed with other change leaders to develop the global Standard for Change Management®. She was one of the first to receive the Certified Change Management Professionals (CCMP™) designation and is a recognized thought leader for the Association of Change Management Professionals.
April has been recognized as a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest designation for professional speakers and is frequently quoted by The New York Times, Associated Press, other international media outlets. Her popular READY, Set, Change! Change Mastery 101™ program is being implemented in organizations and PMO's worldwide.
She's the President of the Association of Change Management Professionals Michigan Chapter, a transplanted city-slicker and mother of six children and eight chickens.
