"John Kotter and Dan Cohen – facilitates great conversations and brings forth profound questions and insight into" according to Tony D. Purkal.

The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. This tension can doom a change effort—but if it is overcome, change can
(If people hate change, then having a kid is an awfully dumb decision.)It puzzled us--why do some huge changes, like marriage, come joyously, while some trivial changes, like submitting an expense report on time, meet fierce resistance? We found the answer in the research of some brilliant psychologists who’d discovered that people have two separate “systems” in their brains—a rational system and an emotional system. Activists combatting seemingly intractable problems such as child malnutrition. The rational system is a thoughtful, logical planner. They succeeded--and, to our surprise, we found striking similarities in the strategies they used. Managers trying to overhaul an
