Change Leadership Coaching
Every now and then an organization needs more than just incremental improvements to survive and grow. It needs to transform how it does business. It needs to invest significantly to realign its business model, implement an ERP system, or roll out a new business strategy, for example.
This kind of change is transformational in nature and requires strategic leadership skills. In these situations influencing becomes more important than directing, and creating engagement and buy-in win over operational know-how. In addition, communication, selfless listening and authenticity go from nice-to-have qualities to make-it-or-break-it competencies.
An organizational change can be a catalyst to develop strategic leaders
At the beginning of a change very few operational managers have all the right capabilities to successfully lead this kind of change. In our experience, most are unsure of when to use the skills they do have and how to develop the strategic leadership skills they still need. However, developing these skills is imperative for a successful change, and Change Leadership coaching will give you that. We can help you and your organization uncover its full potential, and we will walk down this road together with you.
What is Change Leadership Coaching?
Change Leadership Coaching MOVES YOU AND your organization forward
- Change Leadership Coaching objectives are linked to the success objectives of your company’s change project.
- By ‘nesting’ your Change Leadership coaching goals within the change project’s success objectives, both you and the organization move forward in the same, positive direction.
- Change Leadership is needed when your organization is about to embark on change or transformation, such as implementing a pandemic business growth strategy or an ERP system, for example.
- Strategic leadership capabilities are universally recognized and valued leading to personal and professional satisfaction and growth.
How is Change Leadership different from other types of Executive coaching?
- Executive Coaching objectives may be independent of the strategic direction of the organization. .
- Executive Coaching is unlikely to equip you with the deep toolkit you’ll need to lead the cultural and emotional complexities of your change imperative. .
- Specific Executive Leadership skills will vary depending on individual capability gaps and personal development goals

Our approach of working together with you
A change initiative is a large investment for an organization. Three factors ensure a higher return on that investment: engagement and buy-in during the project, high rates of adoption at implementation, and long term sustainability once the change is in place.
Our approach is the only one that measures your organization’s ability to sustain the change long after the change has been implemented. Here is how we help you and your organization to succeed.
- Phase 1: Self-Awareness and Fit – Are good leaders born or raised? Well, both. We’ll help you highlight your inherent abilities, uncover some gaps and how to close them, and identify skills to develop that you may not have needed until this change came along. We’ll also make sure there is a good personality fit to establish a solid, trust-based coaching relationship.
- Phase 2: Goal Setting – Together we’ll define success for you and for your organization and how we’ll measure it. It’s important for all of us to have a clear vision of what we’re aiming for.
- Phase 3: Tracking, Coaching and Skill Development – Twice a month we’ll meet to monitor progress and identify what to hone and what you may need from us to close a skill or mindset gap. This will require an openness to experiment with new techniques, push your own comfort zone, and keep a record of what comes easy and what, well, doesn’t.
- Phase 4: Results Evaluation and Sustainability – At the end of our bi-monthly sessions, usually 6 months, we’ll take stock of all the successes you and your organization have achieved and what still remains for you to accomplish. Then we’ll check in every 6 months to monitor and support your ongoing progress and the sustainability of the change in your organization.
