Change Management Coaching
“Wendy is a fantastically effective coach”
Your thought partner for change
While we have all experienced change at work, when it comes to leading the change process, we may feel ill-equipped.
When we look for help amongst colleagues, there isn’t anyone with deep change experience who can act as a knowledgeable sounding board.
That's where I can help.
Change management coaching, sometimes called change leadership coaching, is a collaborative partnership that helps you identify your current change leadership strengths and uncover new ways to enable workplace change. It’s useful for leaders at all levels involved in creating or executing workplace change.
Informed by twenty years of experience as a change leader and backed by the latest research, I offer 1:1 coaching tailored to you. So don't go it alone — let me be your thought partner in change.
What is change management coaching?
Change management coaching is a collaborative partnership that helps you identify your current change leadership strengths and uncover new ways to enable workplace change.
Accelerating and amplifying your change leadership
Change management coaching acts an accelerant that can propel you further, and sometimes faster than you may go on your own. This only happens, when it is targeted and tailored to you.
Focused first on you as an individual leader
We work first with you as an individual, with the aim of helping you to recognize and own your strengths and engage with what's getting in your way to creating lasting change in your organization and, often, yourself.
Strategies tailored to your unique role in change
We also focus our strategies to ensure you overcome challenges and develop the success factors needed to effectively master your role in change. Change demands different skills and mindsets depending on whether you are an executive sponsor, middle manager or change manager.
Focused on learning by doing
While knowledge of relevant change theory is essential, too often leaders fall into the knowing-doing gap — they know what to do, but fail to do it. We address this gap head-on, by identifying key motivators that will help you sustain yourself throughout the change process and creating opportunities to experiment with different ways of showing up to enable lasting change.
A the end of the day, our partnership is one where your success, as you define it, is the only agenda.

Does change management coaching work?
A recent study by the International Coach Federation and Human Capital Institute suggests that coaching with a professional change practitioner is the most helpful learning activity for achieving goals of change initiatives — even though it is less common than formal training, meetings with senior leaders, or stretch assignments.
More generally, several meta-analyses (a study that reviews findings from multiple studies) have linked professional coaching with skill-building, improved performance, and increased motivation.
