Welcome to the online press kit for Dr. Dawn-Marie Turner

Dawn-Marie Turner, Ph.D. turns your liability called "change" into an asset called your organization's Readiness Mindset™. Most business leaders hire consultants to manage resistance, creating and investing in programs to control their:

1. Disengaged staff
2. Cynical employees
3. Frustrated leaders
4. Under-performing departments, and
5. Culture suffering from change-fatigue.

However, Dr. Turner, author of “Launch, Lead, Live: The Executive's Guide to Preventing Resistance & Succeeding With Organizational Change," teaches leaders that you don’t have to manage resistance; instead, you can build a change-ready organization with change-ready employees.

For seven decades, strategies and tactics to manage resistance have been synonymous with the practice of change management. Yet, approaching change with a Resistant Mindset makes change more difficult, limits options, and triggers our brain’s survival mode. This perpetuates a toxic cycle of resistance that leaders must continually manage.

Dr. Turner teaches organizations the Readiness Mindset and shares insights into the work she has done on the development of the Readiness Mindset. Discover how using a Readiness Mindset breaks the cycle of resistance, allowing you to tap into the brain’s innate curiosity and desire for learning to enable people to move toward change without resistance.

Take change from a liability to an asset. Dr. Turner shares stories, techniques, and the science to take your team from change-resistant to change-ready, from stressed-out to resilient.

Says Turner, "Change requires committed leadership at every level of your organization. The role of what I call the executive change leader is to create an environment where change is accepted and supported."

According to Turner, the seven characteristics of an executive change leader lead them to be a person who:

1. Is self-aware
2. Walks the talk
3. Has energy and perseverance
4. Is flexible
5. Has empathy
6. Trusts employees
7. Seeks stability
