Change Can Be Easy Pam Marmon’s Outline for Effective Post-Pandemic Transformation
Pam Marmon understands what it means to adapt. After growing up in Bulgaria, Marmon had to modify her way of living when she emigrated to the U.S. Today, she’s a CEO, entrepreneur, wife, and mother who believes that change doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, she’s mastered it. Marmon has even established a company, Marmon Consulting, that helps other companies develop strategies for executing transformation. In Marmon’s book, “No One’s Listening and It’s Your Fault: Get Your Message Heard During Organizational Transformations,” she outlines her proven methods for effective communication in any company setting, from a major corporation to a family business. Released on March 24, 2020, Marmon’s advice is timely in a period when many business owners are searching for proactive solutions and the next step in finding post-pandemic success. Marmon’s book is the perfect guide for business leaders who recognize the need for tangible change and want to execute it as effectively as possible. The key, Marmon explains, is to identify your company’s culture and cater your plan’s language to suit what will resonate with your employees the most. This will establish a sense of alignment with your business’s vision and direction, which can be one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. You cannot achieve success in a period of
change if your team is doubtful and unwilling. With your company united toward your vision, you can begin to enact real change. However, this is only the beginning. Marmon’s book also outlines how to connect with fellow leaders in your company to develop a framework for growth. By creating a stable foundation and inspiring change, you’ll find this time of major transition to be much smoother than you may have anticipated. As a
result, your company will come out on top at the end of the COVID-19 era.
Marmon’s mantra is inspiring: “With the proper process, change is not hard.” And with her book, “No One’s Listening and It’s Your Fault,” business leaders can see just how simple change can be.
HAVE A Laugh 11 Days Short How the British Changed Their Calendar System and Caused Chaos
jwyatt@harrisonlawgroup.com | www.HarrisonLawGroup.com | 3 There was a lot of confusion and chaos, but over time, dates fell where they were supposed to, and everyone lived their full lives, those 11 days included. The people were not happy. English historians found research that British citizens chanted “Give us our 11 days!” in the streets. Several other historical accounts state that many people worried their own lives would be cut 11 days shorter. For centuries, Europeans used the Julian calendar. However, significant dates “drifted” as centuries passed on the solar calendar. To compensate, the new Gregorian calendar was developed in 1582. But not everyone — such as the British — adopted it immediately, and Europeans were using two diverging calendars for over 200 years! Finally, the British chose 1752 to make the change. But they had to “jump” forward, which meant 1751 could only be 10 months long — starting with March and ending with Dec. 31, 1751. They also had to cut 11 days from 1752. The unlucky dates were Sept. 2–14, 1752.
