“I had the humble honour of collaborating with Alisa. She organized and hosted me as a guest speaker at UnCommon in February 2024. She is an excellent communicator, very punctual and proactive leader which made my task easier to complete. In addition, she has an incredible touch in building teams that work seamlessly in attaining the objectives and goals. It is through her hand that I was able to interact, inspire and learn from the UnCommon students. I highly recommend her for all tasks and positions that are related to project development and management for it is guaranteed that all KPIs will be met. It was a pleasure working with her and I appreciate her professionalism and decorum.”

Your team is feeling excluded from change planning. How can you involve them effectively?
To effectively involve your team in change planning, it's crucial to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Begin by openly communicating the reasons for the change and its expected impact. Encourage team members to share their ideas and concerns through regular meetings or workshops, ensuring they feel like active contributors rather than passive recipients. By involving them in decision-making and giving them ownership of certain aspects of the change, you not only enhance buy-in but also empower your team to support and drive the change together. It is important to ask your team inclusive questions throughout the process so that they feel part of the change process.
