Finally blogging!

   

This is our first-ever blog post, and it’s a classic example of Changes belief  #5:  Everyone learns by doing. 

We had zero idea how to add a blog page and posts when we undertook this task, but now we know that even old dogs can learn new tricks.

We aspire to publish here approximately every two weeks.  We’ll cover insights and learnings, explain Changes principles, promote upcoming public events, and we may even feature some guest authors from time to time.  We promise to keep it short, sweet, and to the point. So please check back here often.

As part of this change, we’ve removed the “Changes Updates” page on our website and moved recent, relevant content to our blog page.  So you’ll see some legacy content that we encourage you to check out.
