In this episode, I sit down with Dr Tammy Watchorn, a prolific author and former NHS project manager, to discuss her latest book, The Change Ninja Returns. Tammy shares her journey from leading change in the health service to applying change management principles in her personal life.

She highlights the importance of understanding the neuroscience behind change and offers practical tools for effective change management. We explore her unique approach of using humour and gamification in her books to make the concepts more engaging.

Tammy also talks about the impact of AI on the workplace and the importance of focusing on human skills development as technology evolves.
