Let’s start here

Change and Adoption Coach at Infinite People and Microsoft Certified Trainer

Hi, I’m Nistasja.

And if there’s one thing that defines me… It’s that I’m a “figure-outer.”

I’ve spent most of my career working with organisations navigating change. New systems. New processes. New ways of working.

And somewhere along the way, I realised something important: Change isn’t actually about the system. It’s about people. The way we think. The way we resist. The way we hold onto what we know… even when something new might be better.

I work mostly in the Microsoft space (M365, Dynamics 365 and Copilot), helping organisations not just implement technology… but actually adopt it. Because those are very different things. You can roll something out. But getting people to use it? To trust it? To build it into how they work every day? That’s where the real work happens.

And that’s where I thrive.

I’ve always described myself as a bit of a “frilly butterfly brain.” Jumping between ideas. Exploring different ways of doing things. Trying something new… even when I’m not 100% sure where it will lead. For a long time, I thought that was a weakness. Now I know it’s my superpower. Because it means I don’t get stuck. I adapt. I learn. I move.

I don’t believe in: “this is how we’ve always done it.”
I believe in: “what if there’s a better way?”

This blog is where I unpack the reality of change. Not the polished version. Not the “10 tips” version. The real, human side of it. The resistance. The discomfort. The moments where it feels easier to go back… instead of forward.

So, whether you’re leading change, going through it, or quietly resisting it a little bit… You’re in the right place.

Let’s figure it out.

Chat soon,
xoxo
