About Alyssa Towns (Swantkoski)

For nearly the first decade of my career, I supported internal communications in small businesses, from crafting well-written emails to leading communications for significant company changes. I'm a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner and Apogy Certified Change Leader, a former Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) Colorado Chapter Board Member, and a current member of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Colorado. 

Alongside my corporate work, I started freelancing as a content writer across my areas of expertise: internal communications, change management, project management, time management, productivity, the future of work, and corporate culture. I occasionally cover stories outside of my usual beat to keep my workload interesting. I've written for Business Insider, Clockwise, ContactMonkey, The Everygirl, GenTwenty, G2, Marlee, Life Goals Mag, Prosci, Workshop, and more. 

With a background in psychology, I've always believed that internal communications and change management sit at the heart of creating more human workplaces. I've also learned the hard way — having lost three grandparents in their early-to-mid 60s — that we can't wait until retirement to live a life we love. Life is too short for work to suck.

That's why I'm on a mission to help improve the 8+ hours we spend at work each day: by writing content about building better workplaces and helping people within organizations communicate more effectively. 

I also love getting lost in a good book! Below are the books I've read or am currently reading this year via Bookshop. (Minus any Amazon exclusives.)

I always welcome new friends and connections on Goodreads!
