Turn Your Team or Slack Channel Into A Learning Lab with ChangeGuild

If you’re part of a change management team or community of practice, you know that keeping conversations relevant, timely, and energizing can be a challenge. The good news? You don’t need to start from scratch.

You can use articles from ChangeGuild.co as conversation starters — to spark discussion, build alignment, and encourage real-time learning inside your team.

Here’s how.

1. Pick an Article That Matches What Your Team Is Facing

ChangeGuild covers everything from stakeholder strategy to coaching sponsors, freelancing, metrics, and more. Choose something that aligns with what your team is wrestling with right now — a recent piece from Moreover, a tactical guide from Guildcraft, or even a Field Note with a provocative question.

Not sure where to start? Try:

• Spoon-Feeding Your Sponsors to spark a conversation on executive alignment
• Change Management on a Shoestring when funding or time is tight
• The Change Curve Is Not Enough when you want to reframe how people think about resistance

2. Share in Slack or Teams with a Quick Prompt

Don’t just drop the link. Add a line or two to set it up. Try:

"This piece hit home. How are we doing with [this issue] on our current project?"

"Read this and thought about our conversation yesterday. Curious where you all land."

"I’d love to use this in our next CoP huddle. What resonates or doesn’t?"

You’re not leading a workshop — you’re creating space for thinking out loud.

3. Encourage Follow-Up, Not Consensus

The goal isn’t to get everyone to agree — it’s to surface insights, tension, and new angles. Let it unfold organically. Some teams drop a thread like this in a private team channel. Others dedicate a #learning or #practice-insights space.

4. Use It to Build Momentum

Over time, this creates shared language and signals that growth is baked into the culture — not a side project. You’re turning content into dialogue, and dialogue into forward movement.

And if your team wants to go deeper? ChangeGuild+ (launching August 2025) gives you full access to the complete library, plus the ability to comment directly on the site.

5. Encourage Your Colleagues to Subscribe to ChangeGuild

Once your team starts engaging with the content, invite them to subscribe directly. ChangeGuild delivers thoughtful, practitioner-driven insights right to their inbox — no fluff, no noise. Sometimes the right article lands at just the right time. It might even spark a future post or conversation from someone else on the team.

A little inbox serendipity can go a long way in building a learning culture.

Final Thought: Use What Moves You

You don’t need permission to lead with insight. If a post challenges your thinking or sharpens your approach, chances are it’ll do the same for others. Drop it in the channel. Invite others in. See what builds.
