Your Ninja Adventure begins here…

Still here? Still not sure?

Then why not take a peek at some of the book reviews.

“This book is a riot. A provocative W1A adventure through the theatre of 'change management', except this time you get to be the protagonist. Tammy Watchorn knows the pitfalls of dull frameworks and theories, and so gives readers agency and the opposite experience of being trapped in a landlocked meeting. Guaranteed, this book will help you to understand why things never actually seem to change, and what you can do differently.”

Alex Barker - Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, Co-Author of How to be more pirate

“I loved this book – fast, funny, and real world. Most organisations lie – they don’t actually want change – they only want the benefits of the change. This book shows you how to survive being a “change leader” in a world where governance, process, and compliance seem to be against you. A practical, interactive, and FUN book. Based on the teachings of Rockstar Project Guru Eddie Obeng, this book shows you how to swashbuckle your way to project success through the “corridors of gloom” while taking on the Blockers and the Mini Cheddars!”

Stephen Carver - Senior Lecturer, consultant and speaker in Change and Crisis Management at Cranfield University School of Management

“I loved the two realities presented at every step of the change journey in this book. Being able to consider what a poor response and a good response to a wide variety of common change challenges looks like really brings the challenges of change management to life. I highly recommend this book as an excellent read.”

Melanie Franklin – Agile Change Management and APMG International

“This book is a technology for change, with just the right wicked sense of humour, it needs to get past the dour gatekeepers of change management. A much-needed wry look at how to take work apart and make it better.”

Sam Conniff - Author /Documentary making / Award-winning / World-changing / Pirate

“The Change Ninja Handbook provides a set of engaging and accessible insights into the world of change leadership. Written in the style of a role-play adventure game, Tammy skilfully gives the reader permission to navigate their own course through the various change challenges that are posed. This handbook is an essential guide for any professional interested in understanding how to implement and influence change. From stakeholder engagement and creativity to digital transformation and innovation, the Change Ninja Handbook will help to lead you to a solution.”

Prof Adam Boddison, Chief Executive
Association for Project Management – the chartered body for the project profession

“When I was a kid, I loved books like this. If you made the right choices, you could thwart the wicked wizard or slay the awful dragon. Now with this cunning, entertaining, and brilliant book. You can slay the toughest dragon of our working life, the dragon called change. Loved it.”

Geoff Burch – Business Guru, Bestselling author, TV presenter, and Award-winning Communicator

“I loved the combination of a personal story as a backdrop to using the tools, and the advice in the final chapter alone is worth your time. I found myself eagerly awaiting the next part of the rollercoaster ride of Tammy's life and enjoyed her honest and courageous sharing of events: inspiring, heart-wrenching, and funny. The Change Ninja Returns book is a must-read for every change manager who needs some help looking after their personal and professional selves, because this book, based on lived experience, will show you how.”

Gilbert Kruidenier - Managing Director, Kruidenier Consulting

“The Change Ninja Returns is a fantastic read for tackling both big and small changes in life. It's full of clever, practical ideas you can actually use, shared in an engaging and fun way. The author actively encourages you to try out these tools then and there, making the experience even more impactful.
The “ninja moves” are brilliant, and the tools can be applied in both personal and professional life. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in managing change, whether for yourself or with others.”

Barbara Sowa - Quality Improvement Lead, Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership'

“I found myself gripped by the disarming way that Tammy shares her experience of a significant (unwanted) life event - I wanted to continue reading. The tools that are woven through the book feel do-able and useful. Tammy builds accountability into the book, with her encouraging (yet direct) style of writing and the mechanic of 'health points' to collect (or lose) as you go... all of that helped to tip me from interested to action-taking.”

Julie Smith - Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, and Author, Talent Sprout Limited

“Just finished the Change Ninja books. I really enjoyed that. The tools are really well thought out, relevant, and easy to use. Your writing style is so easy to get into, and reading was effortless.”

Cheryl Saggers - Transformation Manager, Aviva

“I read the Change Ninja handbook, and it's absolutely brilliant! It's fun and easy to read, and you can apply learning. Really great book, and looking forward to getting the other one too!”

Rita Goodbody - Agile Delivery Manager, Spektrix

“I loved the first book and am working my way through the second. I really enjoyed how the ideas and approaches you share are so accessible and practical, and the fun injected into reading with the choose-your-own-adventure element. Triple thumbs up from me.”

Helen Holder - Lead Business Analyst, Justice Digital

“Sat on a train, belly laughing at the Change Ninja Returns book. Absolute read. Can't put it down.”

Steph Illingworth - Project Director, Turner and Townsend

“So I'm on holiday this week... And my holiday read is... The Change Ninja Handbook. I'm about 40 pages in and I love it! I share your sense of humour and love of footnotes.”
