Talent Acquisition Professional
Attain Partners (AP): Why are you excited to be Prosci certified?
Kora Rea-Alexander (KRA): I am excited to gain my Prosci certification because this will allow me to bring an even higher level of organizational effectiveness to Attain Partners. Personally, I have grown in my strategic thinking and critical assessment of new projects and initiatives.
AP: What was one new nugget of information you learned from the certification process?

AP: How do you plan to use your Prosci certification to better serve your clients?
KRA: I plan to use this certification to continue to empower Attain Partner’s seven core values. Prosci has a collaborative approach to its methodology and deeply acknowledges that nothing gets completed alone.

Jess Jones
Senior Analyst, Strategic Transformation Services
Attain Partners (AP): Why are you excited to be Prosci certified?
Jess Jones (JJ): I’m excited to be Prosci certified because it shows that Attain Partners believes in me enough to invest in my future and encourages me to grow professionally. Also, I was excited to learn the theory and techniques behind change management, and I look forward to carrying that into my future projects.
AP: What was one new nugget of information you learned from the certification process?
JJ: Something that I didn’t fully realize before the training is how vast change management is. At Attain Partners, it centers around managers and consultants, but many people with different backgrounds can easily benefit from being Prosci Certified and understanding the ideas about change.
AP: How do you plan to use your Prosci certification to better serve your clients?
JJ: Moving forward, I plan to make use of the tools provided through the Prosci certification. More importantly, I will use the theory behind change management to better understand my clients’ reservations with change to meet their individual needs.
Courtney Swaney
Senior Manager, Research Enterprise Services
Attain Partners (AP): Why are you excited to be Prosci certified?
Courtney Swaney (CS): I’m excited to be Prosci certified because it’s one more resource for me to utilize when I’m working to serve my clients.
AP: What was one new nugget of information you learned from the certification process?
CS: The Prosci course was excellent, and I highly recommend it. One piece of information that I learned was identifying a person’s or group’s barrier point. By conducting an ADKAR (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) assessment, you can better understand where the person or the group is lacking and then employ tactics to help that group past that barrier point until there’s a new barrier point or until the group is fully ready for a go-live with the change.
AP: How do you plan to use your Prosci certification to better serve your clients?
CS: My clients are constantly facing changes, both big and small. Understanding more about the people side of change will better equip me to assist them through these changes.
Lindsey Demeritt
Manager, Research Enterprise Services
Attain Partners (AP): Why are you excited to be Prosci certified?
Lindsey Demeritt (LD): I think I am most excited to be Prosci certified because it will be just one more service/area of expertise that I can offer to clients. So many of our clients are undergoing any number of various changes that to have some insight into how to help facilitate and promote effective change management I think can only benefit our engagements.
AP: What was one new nugget of information you learned from the certification process?
LD: I learned the definitive influence of the executive sponsor. I think that this is “known” in theory, but to see the numbers and understand the science behind it was illuminating. The executive sponsor is critical to success and yet is often minimally engaged.
AP: How do you plan to use your Prosci certification to better serve your clients?
LD: I plan to use my knowledge to facilitate change, to be able to potentially advise of best practices, and to be of service in the processes of change, understanding how important it is to have a strong change agent network within the organization.
Kathleen Halley-Octa
Senior Consultant, Research Enterprise Services
Attain Partners (AP): Why are you excited to be Prosci certified?
Kathleen Halley-Octa (KHO): Becoming Prosci certified in change management has been a goal for a long time and I am excited that Attain helped me through the process! The information I learned through the course will help me better serve our clients.
AP: What was one new nugget of information you learned from the certification process?
KHO: My biggest takeaway was the tie between individual and organizational change– you can’t move an organization through change without getting the people onboard with the change first!
AP: How do you plan to use your Prosci certification to better serve your clients?
KHO: I think change management is something higher education struggles with– there are so many change initiatives happening at once that people can become easily overwhelmed, especially when change management isn’t handled well. I’m excited to use the strategies I learned in our Cayuse implementation and business process redesign projects.
