About me
The strategist behind the clarity.
I’m Ana Magana — a Prosci® Certified Change Management Practitioner based in Calgary, Alberta. I work with organizations navigating complex transformation to build the people-side infrastructure that makes change actually stick.
With 10+ years of experience in regulated industries, I’ve lead OCM, stakeholder engagement, and change communications on programs affecting thousands of employees. My work spans ERP transformations, corporate integrations, and culture shifts across energy/utilities, infrastructure, and healthcare.
What i do
I help leaders communicate with calm, clarity, and credibility — especially when the stakes are high.
Clarity is what turns information into understanding. And understanding is what turns resistance into readiness.
My practice integrates change management methodology with the strategic communications expertise most organizations have to source separately. That means fewer handoffs, tighter narrative coherence, and change communications built from the plan — not bolted on afterward.
How I Work
Most change programs separate the methodology from the messaging. OCM plans in one lane, communications in another. The result is technically sound frameworks that employees don’t believe in and leaders can’t explain.
I work differently. I build the OCM strategy and the communications architecture together — so the story employees hear is the same story the plan is built on.
That approach comes from 10+ years inside complex organizations where I learned that the hardest part of change isn’t the design. It’s the translation. Getting leaders aligned. Getting employees ready. Getting the message to land before the resistance hardens.
That’s the work I do.
Why I Do This Work
I built this practice after years inside large organizations where communication often felt complex and fragmented. Teams weren’t tired of the work — they were tired of translation. Not because they couldn’t change, but because nobody had built the infrastructure that made the change make sense.
I started Ana Magana Communications to fill that gap — combining rigorous OCM methodology with communications craft that actually reaches people. Because when employees understand the story, change stops being something that happens to them and starts being something they’re part of.
What I Stand For
- Clarity: Because meaning beats messaging.
- Empathy: Because understanding starts with listening.
- Calm: Because composure builds trust.
- Integrity: Because the truth doesn’t need spin.
