The Change Ninja vs Zombies
Who ate my Mojo?
Dr. Tammy Watchorn
Description
Who ate your mojo?
If you’re exhausted just looking at your ‘to do’ list, if you feel time disappears in a flash, if you’re running as fast as you can just to keep up – this is for you.
In this latest Change Ninja adventure you’ll take on the Mojo-eating Zombies. You’ll learn to recognize the characteristic traits of each time- or energy-zapping Zombie, what their weaknesses are, and how to counter their superpowers with a new set of tools and approaches. Every time you overcome a Zombie you win back a little more time and a lot more energy. And with a little more time and a lot more energy you’ll find you can get through a lot of things more effectively, which gives you back even more time and energy, together with the motivation to do things differently.
Think you don’t have time to read another book or practise new ways of doing things? You don’t really have time not to.

Authors
Dr. Tammy Watchorn
Dr Tammy Watchorn’s experiences of leading transformational change in complex highly resistant environments led to The Change Ninja Handbook, a choose-your-own-adventure guide to making change happen. As a teacher, trainer, facilitator and coach, she works at all levels within and across organizations with a strong focus on change management, neuroscience, behaviours and resistance to change, effective delivery and productivity.
Then one day, she unexpectedly encountered a huge life-changing situation, an emotional, overwhelming change project that she hadn’t asked for and didn’t want. So she decided to use all of her resources, the tools and methods she taught others to use for change at work, to see if they worked just as well when the stakes were very high and very personal. She became her very own case study, and now she’s sharing the results so that you can Ninja your own life’s lemons into lemonade.
