Change Academy
Five two-minute episodes walking through every element of the ADKAR model — hosted by Ava and Andrew in a conversational format designed for busy practitioners.
The Change Minute is Change Academy's podcast series — short, practical audio episodes that fit into your commute, coffee break, or between meetings. Season 1 covers ADKAR from first principles: what each element actually means, why each one fails, and what you can do about it right now. Hosted by Ava and Andrew, two voices with complementary perspectives — one storytelling, one analytical. Five episodes. Ten minutes total. All the ADKAR grounding you need.
