A frequent guest of airports, Ann Salerno is an internationally known trainer and consultant who has guided people and their organizations through change in places as varied as New Delhi, Warsaw, London, Cape Town, and Ottawa, as well as in dozens of American cities. Following graduate work in public administration, she began her business career in management at General Mills, gaining recognition early on for her managing and leadership skills.

Named a Master Speaker and Trainer by Citizens Against Crime, she went on to build her successful career in corporate training and organizational change, working with organizations and Fortune 500 companies ranging from the U.S. State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Canadian government to General Motors, Amgen, the GAP, the NCAA, and American Express.

Heralded for her ability to communicate successful change strategies in an entertaining, practical, and accessible way, Ann has attended the Josephson Institute’s Organizational Ethics Program, is a member of the WinStar Foundation’s development team, and serves on the board of directors for Operation of Hope.org. She has coauthored four books, including The Divorce Solution: How to Go from Bitter to Better, and, with Lillie Brock, The Secret to Getting Through Life’s Difficult Changes. Ann makes her home in Louisville, Kentucky.

"I love it when I find a book that is both easy to understand as well as profound. Salerno and Brock have offered an easy to understand model to help navigate through the sometimes not so friendly waters of change! Even though this book is geared towards business, I have found it helpful in all areas of my life...I highly recommend this book to anyone exploring ways to deal with and understand change."

"I rarely spend my money on books about work, but this one was recommended by a colleague familiar with the trials and tribulations I am experiencing at the office. I have to say that I am glad I read it! Salerno and Brock present perspective and insights on change that resonated with me. I have found The Change Cycle model to be an amazing tool that is easy to understand and easy to apply to my situation and then be able to communicate about it with others. I am already using it successfully to build bridges within my consulting practice area."

"This book is a must read if you're going through any type of changes!"

"A must read for anyone in the private or public sector going through organizational change. Easy read and easy to relate to."

"Salerno and Brock combine pragmatic tips and tools with wit and levity -- a rare combination in a world of bland, ego-driven management books."
