Jennifer Eichenberg is a change management practitioner whose LinkedIn posts focus on what helps employees adopt organizational change—not just hear about it or attend training.
They argue that leaders should first identify what is changing and how employees will be affected, then address the mindset shifts and motivation needed for new behaviors to take hold.
The examples cover changes such as introducing a CRM and training employees on new technology.
Eichenberg connects the people side of change to practical decisions leaders can examine.
In one post, they map a CRM rollout to changes in systems, processes, roles, behaviors, attitudes, performance measures, and possibly compensation.
In another, they question whether explaining the organizational benefits of a new system gives employees enough reason to use it, focusing instead on learning experiences that support the behaviors the organization needs.
Together, these examples make their work useful to readers looking beyond announcements and training sessions to the conditions that shape adoption.
Jennifer Eichenberg argues that organizational change succeeds or fails based on how people are prepared, not how well the change is announced or taught.

Their posts return to three priorities: document what is changing and who is affected before building communication or training; treat motivation as a design problem because training attendance does not mean new behavior; and make room for a mindset shift before asking people to learn new skills. The examples are practical—CRM rollouts, branding updates, recruiting changes and new technology—and the reasoning consistently distinguishes organizational benefits from what individual employees gain.
Change management is more than communication and training
Jennifer Eichenberg argues that many leaders treat change management as two activities—communicating about the change and training people—and miss the diagnostic work that comes first.

Before messaging, the organization should document what is changing, then identify who is affected and how.
They list ten areas of impact: processes, systems, tools, job roles, critical behaviors, mindset and attitudes, reporting structure, performance reviews, compensation and location.
Without a full picture, adoption is likely to be incomplete because the change touches more of an employee's working life than an announcement or training session covers.
A CRM implementation. Jennifer Eichenberg walks through how one system change can also alter processes, job roles, critical behaviors, attitudes about whether the system makes salespeople more efficient, performance measures and possibly compensation to encourage use.
Motivation, not just training, determines whether new skills get used
Jennifer Eichenberg draws on a learning-and-development background to distinguish training attendance from on-the-job use.

Leaders often say employees should learn a new system because it is their job, but they ask how many people have been trained on technology and still do not use it as taught.
The common motivational device—sharing WIIFM, or "what's in it for them"—is often weak because much of a new system's value accrues to the organization: reports for leaders, accountability and transparency between employee and leader.
The priority is to design learning experiences that motivate new behaviors and show learners what they can do with the new skill.
New technology training tells employees the system is coming and that it is their job to learn it, yet the stated benefits—better reports, accountability and transparency—mostly accrue to the organization rather than the individual.
Jennifer Eichenberg uses the Change Arc from Erika Andersen's book Change from the Inside Out to argue that a proposed change needs a mindset shift before training can lead to new behavior.
Read more
People prefer the status quo even when they are unhappy with it, and leaders often skip mindset work and move straight to teaching new behaviors.
That shortcut is common because mindset work requires expertise many leaders lack, energy that change efforts drain, time that is rarely scheduled and customization because one approach does not fit everyone.
When leaders do the mindset work, employees pay closer attention to training and adopt new behaviors sooner.
Examples include installing a CRM, updating branding, creating one project management method or revamping recruiting processes. In each case, leaders skip the mindset shift between deciding to change and providing training.
To see how Eichenberg explains why change initiatives stall even when the plan is sound, start here.

This is the clearest statement of the sequence they return to: proposed change, mindset shift, then training.
Eichenberg opens with a plain admission: change is hard because people like the status quo, even when they are unhappy with it.
The post walks through the Change Arc from Erika Andersen's book "Change from the Inside Out," which places a mindset shift between the decision to change and the training that teaches new behaviors.
Eichenberg gives four examples — installing a CRM, updating branding, standardizing a project management method, and revamping recruiting — and points out that leaders routinely jump from "here is the change" straight to training, skipping the mindset work.
The post lists why that step gets skipped: it requires expertise many leaders lack, energy drained by a change effort, time that is rarely scheduled, and customization because one approach does not fit everyone.
It closes with an invitation to a free consultation on shifting mindsets.
For brands planning a campaign
For a change-management engagement, point clients who believe communication and training are the whole plan to this post. It opens a conversation about the intermediate work — the mindset shift — that Eichenberg contributes.
This answers why trained employees still may not use what they learned.

It shows how Eichenberg diagnoses the gap and what they offer in place of the usual answer.
Drawing on a background in learning and development, Eichenberg notes that nearly every organizational change involves training.
Asked how to motivate employees to attend training and apply what they learn, leaders tend to say it is simply employees' job: learn the new system to use it efficiently, or show up because new technology is coming.
Eichenberg does not dismiss those answers, but asks how many people have been trained on a system and still do not use it to the extent they were trained.
That opens the conversation about motivation.
The post challenges the common fix of sharing the WIIFM ("what's in it for them"): much of a new system's value — reports for leaders, accountability, transparency between employee and leader — accrues to the organization, not the individual, making it a weak motivator for the person in the room.
Eichenberg designs learning experiences to motivate new behaviors; in training, that means showing learners what they can do with a new skill rather than what the organization gains.
For brands planning a campaign
Useful when adoption, not rollout, is the risk. Cite this post when a brief involves training a large group on new systems or processes and the client assumes attendance equals behavior change.
This is the most concrete inventory of what Eichenberg checks before designing a communication or training plan, and it shows the diagnostic vocabulary they bring to a client conversation.

Eichenberg names the assumption: people think change management means two activities — communicating about the change and training people to do new things.
The post argues that both come too early.
First, document what is actually changing — a step organizations skip, though it sounds like common sense — then identify who is affected and how.
Eichenberg lists ten dimensions of employee impact: processes, systems, tools, job roles, critical behaviors, mindset and attitudes, reporting structure, performance reviews, compensation, and location.
A CRM implementation makes the list tangible: it brings a new system, changed processes, altered job descriptions, different critical behaviors, an attitude shift about whether the system makes salespeople more efficient, revised performance measures, and possibly new compensation to incentivize use.
The post links incomplete impact analysis to incomplete adoption and invites leaders at the start of a change to discuss assessing how employees are affected.

That leaves out the earlier work of documenting what is changing and identifying who is impacted and how.

For a transformation brief, this is directly usable evidence that Jennifer Eichenberg can speak to impact assessment as the step before messaging and training. A campaign could use a CRM-style scenario to make adoption risk concrete for a corporate transformation audience.
Motivation is the missing ingredient in training and technology adoption
In a post about learning and development in change situations, Jennifer Eichenberg distinguishes training attendance from actually using new skills on the job.
Read more
The common WIIFM, or what's in it for them, is often not enough because much of the value from a new system benefits the organization through reports, accountability, and transparency. The post recommends designing learning experiences that support and motivate the new behaviors and sharing what employees can do with the new skill.
Contrasts organizational benefits with individual motivation, then reframes training design around what employees can do with the new skill.
For brands planning a campaign
A brand campaign focused on HR technology adoption, learning and development, or change readiness can use this as a practical angle: how to motivate employees after training so the new system or process is actually used.
Jennifer Eichenberg uses the Change Arc from Erika Andersen's book Change from the Inside Out to explain that a proposed change needs a mindset shift before training can settle in as new behavior.

The post gives examples such as installing a CRM, updating branding, creating one project management method, and revamping recruiting processes. Leaders often skip the mindset work because it requires expertise, energy, time, and customization, but skipping it makes adoption slower and less likely.

Three posts dated 15 February to 12 March 2024 address leaders and change practitioners on motivation, mindset, impact analysis, and adoption barriers.
For campaign planning, treat the follower count as a size signal, not proof of audience fit.
Ask for recent LinkedIn analytics by topic and format—including impressions, reactions, comments, and shares for comparable posts from the last 6–12 months—and any follower survey or platform demographics covering role, industry, seniority, and location.
If the campaign targets corporate transformation managers, ask whether Jennifer has survey results or another documented source identifying those professional attributes.
Jennifer Eichenberg’s three published posts are educational pieces about organizational change: motivating employees to adopt new behaviors, the ten ways a change affects employees, and why mindset work gets skipped before training.

Each ends with an invitation to direct-message them for a conversation—whether a free consultation on shifting mindsets, a chat about assessing how employees are affected by a change, or a discussion about motivating adoption.
That’s a consulting inquiry aimed at leaders running change programs, not a published partnership program with defined deliverables a brand could buy.
Brands should ask directly about sponsorship formats, partnership policies, rates, media kits, and commercial terms; the posts provide no official partnership or inquiry page.
A change-management consultancy or workplace-technology vendor whose customers buy a system and then watch employees barely use it.
Read more
That need matches the argument Jennifer Eichenberg makes across all three posts.
Their central claim is that training attendance is not the same as adoption: people get trained on new technology and still do not use it to the extent they were trained.
They push back on the usual fix of leading with what's in it for them, because most of the value of a new system — reports for leaders, accountability, transparency between employee and leader — goes to the organization rather than to the person in the room.
They also offer a usable diagnostic: ten dimensions along which a change affects employees (processes, systems, tools, job roles, critical behaviors, mindset, reporting structure, performance reviews, compensation, location), walked through with a CRM implementation so the list stays concrete.
And they put mindset work ahead of training, naming the four reasons leaders skip it — expertise, energy, time, and customization.
The format match is short-form LinkedIn thought leadership: plain-language posts built on a diagnostic question, a numbered or bulleted list, and one worked example, each closing with an invitation to talk.
The transformation manager's need for expertise on overcoming motivational hurdles in organizational change sits squarely inside that argument.
A sponsor would be buying a practitioner's explanation of why adoption fails and what to check first, not a generic motivational message.
When to choose a specialist
A broad-awareness product launch that depends on reach, guaranteed impressions, and defined sponsored deliverables on a fixed schedule is a poor fit.

The only audience figure available is a LinkedIn following of 1,521, observed 9 October 2026.
The posts contain no engagement, impression, or demographic data, and no sponsorship formats, rate card, media kit, or commercial terms.
Their only commercial gesture is an invitation to direct-message Jennifer Eichenberg for a consultation, an advisory inquiry rather than a published partnership program.
Before planning a campaign, ask for LinkedIn analytics and confirmation of available sponsorship formats, deliverables, and terms.
A second, narrower mismatch: a campaign that needs hands-on implementation content.
The posts operate at the level of frameworks, checklists, and one illustrative CRM example; they stop short of tutorials, configuration walkthroughs, or tool-specific how-to material.
A worked campaign example
Take the corporate transformation need of a transformation manager weighing Jennifer Eichenberg for expertise on motivational hurdles, and assume the sponsor is a change-management or learning-and-development software vendor whose customers keep stalling after rollout. The angle is: the system is not the change, and training is not the finish line.
A three-post sequence carries it.
Post one opens on the adoption gap: how many people have been trained on a system and still do not use it the way they were trained?
It walks through why the standard what's-in-it-for-them pitch is weak — the reports, accountability, and transparency a new system produces mostly benefit the organization — and lands on designing learning around what the employee can do with the new skill.
The vendor appears as the platform that supports those new behaviors, not as a replacement for the motivation work.
Post two is the diagnostic: the ten dimensions a change touches, using a CRM implementation to show how one system shifts processes, job roles, critical behaviors, attitudes, performance measures, and possibly compensation.
This is the piece a reader can lift and apply to their own program, and it is the natural hook for a downloadable scoping checklist.
Post three addresses the step leaders skip: the mindset shift before training, and the four reasons it gets skipped — expertise, energy, time, and customization — which positions the vendor's services or advisory offer as the outside expertise the timeline never includes.
Because every original post ends with an invitation to a conversation, the sponsored version would route that call to action to the vendor's diagnostic offer rather than to their own consultation. Measurement and logistics are open items: the posts contain no engagement data, so targets would have to come from their LinkedIn analytics, and the sponsorship terms themselves — whether sponsored posts are available, in what format, and at what price — are not documented and would need confirming before anyone commits to the sequence.
For the same campaign decision, Lauren Taylor is the better choice when the task is recruiting learners for funded further-education and training providers, not driving enterprise change adoption.
Read more
The posts speak directly to providers whose funded courses are not filling and offer a concrete operating system: build a pipeline before courses start, respond to enquiries while interest is high, publish success stories with real outcomes, stay visible weekly even when courses are full, and treat recruitment as a year-round effort.
For a sponsor selling recruitment services, enquiry software, or marketing support to training providers, that is a practical playbook.
Taylor also claims to have recruited more than 2,700 learners in a year for UK training providers—a scale claim closer to the buyer's daily problem than a change-management diagnosis.
Unlike Jennifer Eichenberg's work on transformation adoption, Lauren Taylor's material focuses on recruitment.
It does not address motivational hurdles inside organizations, employee adoption of new systems, mindset shifts before training, or implementation diagnostics.
A transformation manager seeking help with why employees do not use what they were trained on would gain little from posts about learner recruitment.
The 2,700-learner figure is Taylor's own post claim.
Ask for sponsorship formats, audience data, and commercial terms before making a decision.
For the same campaign decision, Joel Duarte, CPTM is a better choice when the buyer wants a culture-and-leadership frame rather than an adoption-mechanics frame.
Read more
The posts address how recruitment practices shape candidates' views of company culture and outline leadership shifts for a thriving culture: cross-functional collaboration, transparent communication, continuous learning, inclusive mentorship, virtual team connection, purpose, and employee well-being.
A sponsor seeking to build an employer brand, change culture, or develop leadership could use that broad commentary to reach HR and leadership audiences.
Duarte offers more on culture perception and leadership behaviors than Jennifer Eichenberg's posts, which focus on change adoption and learning motivation.
For a campaign aimed at improving adoption of new systems, Joel Duarte's posts are less concrete.
The culture posts offer broad, list-based commentary but no diagnostic for why a trained employee still does not use a new system, ten-dimension impact analysis, or worked implementation example.
The leadership post reads as general trend advice rather than a tested operating method.
The tradeoff is breadth of culture topics versus depth of change-adoption mechanics.
A buyer focused on motivational hurdles would need to reframe the campaign around culture or leadership development and give up the adoption-specific detail Jennifer Eichenberg provides.
For the same campaign decision, Lillian Bajor is the better choice when the task is individual mindset coaching—especially for women moving from corporate work into entrepreneurship or seeking more abundance and fulfilment—rather than organizational change management.

A client-success post traces a specific coaching arc: a financial-services agent, 18 months into a new career and struggling after 30 years in corporate, explored entrepreneurship, released limiting beliefs, shifted mindset, and moved into political campaign management and board work.
The Activate Abundance post promotes a free three-day interview series for women, promising takeaways on clarity, direction, and mindset.
A sponsor selling coaching, courses, or personal-development programs to that audience would find a clearer emotional fit and a demonstrated client narrative.
Unlike Jennifer Eichenberg's work on transformation adoption, Lillian Bajor's material focuses on individual motivation, not organizational diagnosis.
It does not cover employee adoption of systems, training follow-through, ten-dimensional change impact, or why leaders skip mindset work.
The campaign would need to shift from a corporate transformation manager to a coaching or personal-development buyer.
Even then, the material consists of a single client story and a promotional post, not a documented coaching method with repeatable tools.
Ask for audience data, engagement metrics, and sponsorship terms before making a decision.
In three LinkedIn posts, Eichenberg discusses employee impacts, motivation to use new technology, and the mindset shift that can help new behaviors take hold.
