Why do people struggle with creating the changes they say they want?
With over a decade of work with thousands of clients in the fields of organizational consulting, executive coaching and psychotherapy, author Michael Diettrich-Chastain reveals a model for change that is like no other. In this book, the CHANGES model reveals the seven pillars of life that impact our ability to make professional and personal changes...as well as how these same seven pillars influence our ability to respond to change.
Do you ever wonder why things aren't going the way you planned?
Do you question why things are happening TO you instead of YOU making them happen?
Have you set out to create change in your life and then been drawn back into old patterns that you tried so hard to avoid?
Do you know what questions to ask to help you lead in a way that drives the outcomes you desire?
In CHANGES you will learn:
- How to start asking the right questions, so that you can finally translate understanding into behavior.
- An evergreen model, that will help you reach goals, adapt to challenging circumstances, and reduce stress along the way.
- A leadership strategy, which is paramount to creating behavior change in leaders themselves and those that they lead.
- A method for being resilient, regardless of the circumstance, which translates into creating powerfully functioning teams and leaders.
- Actionable tools, found in every chapter to help you turn the lessons into meaningful real-life changes.
- How to create a personalized roadmap, so that the lessons apply specifically to you and your motivations, fears, strengths, mindsets, and needs.
Plus, inside the book, you get a free download link for the audiobook.
And if you need additional strategies to apply the seven pillars in the book, check out The Changes Cards.

Review
"CHANGES is a great exploration of how the various parts of our life really impact our ability to be successful in any professional or personal role we have. The author clearly outlines seven dimensions of our lived experience that are so influential on our ability to create positive change. This is a great resource for individuals and organizations alike!" --Ariel Garten, Founder & CEO of Interaxon
"The quality of the questions we ask ourselves determines the quality of our lives! Michael Diettrich-Chastain masterfully guides us to three simple, brilliant questions that have the power to direct us to reduce stress, ignite momentum, and constantly keep us on track as change-thrivers!"
--Brian Biro, author of Beyond Success and There Are No Overachievers
"The more things stay the same, the more they don’t! Everything is in a constant state of change...including YOU. Which is what makes this book so valuable. Drawing on his deep coaching and consulting experience, Michael Diettrich-Chastain provides insights, tools, and tips that are eminently effective and transformational."
--Bill Treasurer, bestselling author of Courage Goes to Work
"Michael Diettrich-Chastain provides both a concise and compelling "playbook" for managing change in both our personal and professional lives. I highly recommend this book for anyone charged with leading change in an organizational setting, or managing transitions in your personal life. Michael will challenge you to think differently and holistically, while providing the resources necessary to help you effectively manage change."
--William L. Sparks, PhD
Dennis Thompson Chair & Professor, Leadership McColl School of Business, Queens University of Charlotte
