About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Watchorn, known as the "Change Ninja," is an educator, facilitator, coach, author, and keynote speaker with a focus on change management, neuroscience, and behaviours related to change.

Her approach to change management, focusing on human elements over rigid processes, has made her a unique voice in the field, especially appealing to those looking for more organic, less disruptive ways to implement change in both personal and professional settings.

Initially, Dr. Watchorn worked in the public sector, particularly in health care, leading projects and complex organizational change programs. She transitioned from a traditional career path to focus more on innovative ways of working, inspired by her experiences and teachings from Prof. Eddie Obeng.

Dr. Watchorn's approach to change management is encapsulated in her "Change Ninja" persona, emphasizing stealth, strategic, and human-focused methods over traditional, process-heavy management styles. This approach aims at making change less confrontational and more aligned with human behaviours and motivations.

She authored "The Change Ninja Handbook," which is described as a gamified, choose-your-own-adventure book designed to teach change management through interactive scenarios. This was followed by "The Change Ninja Returns," where she applies her change management techniques to personal life challenges, using herself as a case study.

Her philosophy revolves around focusing on people rather than processes, understanding and leveraging human motivations, and adapting to change rather than resisting it. She advocates for a 'Just in Time' learning approach where results are immediate and repeatable.

Dr. Watchorn is recognized for her engaging and interactive keynotes, where she shares tools for managing change, understanding stakeholder preferences, and leading transformations in a way that's both effective and less resistant.

Her work has been recognized in the Business Book Awards, and she's known for her innovative training methods, which include virtual 3D environments designed around human interactions rather than technology for technology's sake.

Her journey into change management was partly driven by personal life challenges, which she turned into a learning opportunity, further enriching her teachings and writings.
