    Why change fails and how play might be the answer - with Janine Chandler

    88% of transformational change projects fail, not because the strategy is wrong, but because the people delivering it are running on empty. In episode two, hosts Matt Smith and Jo McGuinness sit down with Janine Chandler, founder of Jump In Puddles, a certified B Corp and social purpose consultancy that uses the power of play, and Lego, to help organisations in the social impact sector create real, lasting breakthroughs. Janine brings 30 years of experience in innovation and brand marketing and a distinctive, deeply human approach to one of the sector's most pressing challenges: what does it actually take to help people be change fit, not just change managed? In this episode: Why 88% of transformational projects fail and why it's a people problem, not a strategy problemThe difference between a team that's energised by purpose and one that's just going through the motionsHow Lego Serious Play works in practice and why it unlocks things that PowerPoint simply can'tThe five things every organisation needs in place for change to succeedWhat thriving actually looks likeHow to lead a team through redundancyLinks & Resources Jump In Puddles: https://jumpinpuddles.co.uk/Follow Janine on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janinechandler/Unicef UK CEO Philip Goodwin's LinkedIn post on Lego Serious Play strategy: HEREDorothy House Hospice Care: https://www.dorothyhouse.org.uk/THINK — our website: https://thinkcs.org/Be a part of the show We really want to hear what you think of the show and what you'd like us to cover.

    Why change can't be managed - with Kate Collins

    Change is easy to announce and hard to do well. In our very first episode, hosts Matt Smith and Joe McGuinness sit down with Kate Collins – founder of Kate Collins Consultancy and former Chief Executive and Director of Fundraising at Teenage Cancer Trust – for an honest, insightful conversation about what it really takes to lead people through change. After 16 years at TCT, Kate brings a rare blend of hard-won experience, radical honesty, and genuine warmth to one of the most searched-for yet least-talked-about topics in leadership: how to lead people through change – especially when they really don't want to go. In this episode: The "hat, haircut and tattoo" framework – and why a decision that feels minor to you might feel life-changing to someone elseWhy resistance to change is healthy, and when the absence of it should worry youThe crucial difference between transparency and full disclosureWhy leading with compassion requires clarity – not softening the messageThe emotional cost of leadership, and why resilience and endurance are not the same thingKate's two things to leave you with: change can't be managed, only navigated – and friction is feedbackLinks & Resources Kate Collins Consulting: https://katecollins.org/ Follow Kate on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/katecollinsuk/THINK - our webiste - https://thinkcs.org/Be a part of the show We really want to hear what you think of the show and what you'd like us to cover.
