Speaker Bio

Boise Change Management Exchange

This session is led by the facilitators of Boise Change Management Exchange (BCME).  Started in May 2019, BCME is a grassroots organization that brings together the Boise change management community to learn from each other’s experiences and share best practices.

Lorraine Loury, Founder | Collective Pulse

Lorraine Loury, Founder | Collective Pulse My superpowers are onboarding employees to make them into agents of change, encouraging cooperation to let collective intelligence bud, facilitating group discussions to lead them to co-designed decisions. I believe we have to give people the floor to make change happen. I support my clients in driving their transformation projects with their staff: get commitment, encourage cooperation, give meaning to the change, write the story and build collectively a tailor-made change management plan. I am also a sketchnoting and doodling addict. I like to turn anything I read or hear into a visual recap. I like to tell stories with doodles and a few key words. I believe a visual one-pager of a conference or a mission statement definitely helps focusing on key ideas, and being understandable and memorable.

Amber Johnson, Founder and Culture Strategist | amberland

Amber Johnson Founder & Culture Strategist| amberland As a culture strategist, I help businesses intentionally create their unique company culture to inspire both business and individual success, this includes how a company’s culture influences how they approach change. I have over 25 years of experience as a human performance strategist with large corporations, start-ups, and private equity companies. Before returning to Boise and launching amberland, the majority of my career was at Starbucks Coffee Company corporate where I led employee engagement, learning, change management, process and internal communication strategies.
