MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN

Change in the business world is constant. The majority of managers fail at leading it.

According to Gartner’s 2025 report, 3 out of 4 employees are experiencing change fatigue. They’re burned out. Exhausted. Disillusioned. Why? Because that same statistic applies to leaders. 3 out of 4 managers just don’t know how to lead people through change.

Coming in spring 2026: Make Change Happen is your roadmap for how to manage change in a way that works. It gives you the skills you need to lead people through change and to become a better leader in the process.


From culture changes to deploying new processes to decommissioning outdated technology, change in the business world is constant. And with the rise of AI, it is also accelerating.
The even bigger problem: employee fatigue is accelerating right along with it.

Make Change Happen is your guide to overcoming change fatigue.

I’ve spent the past 25 years leading transformations of all kinds for large, global corporations. For the past 12 years, I have coached senior executives in developing the skills to achieve the future states they envision. In 2026 I’m making this coaching available in a book you can use now, and reference when you get stuck.

These skills are crucial whether you are trying to improve your team, department, or make a global change across your entire company.

Hi, my name is Michelle Smeby and I am excited to announce my latest book, Make Change Happen: A Leader’s Guide During Times of Constant Change.
