Hi.. I have over 12 years of work experience and now looking to get into change management roles.. can you pls suggest which certifications I can do to become a certified change management expert .. thank you!

Ans: Hello Nick

You have answered your own question...that's the beauty when we live whr we do.

There can be no better certification than love for job...cheers. None the less I would suggest read boos and watch videos of what it takes to deliver wow customer experience. Work on your inner self, more you become good inside more it will be reflected in your work.

Technology is ever evolving so better not to get into what will happen 10 years down...As long as you focus on your self and becoming good human being and good professional you will always be in demand.

All the best my friend. You will do awesome.
