Building the conversational, relational and teamworking capabilities leaders need to create vibrant, supportive work cultures and high-performing teams
What we're doing about Workshop Well-being
“Creating a safe learning environment“ acquired an extra meaning thanks to Covid-19. At The Change Forum, our top priority is everyone’s health and well-being, as it is for so many others around our global community.
As our name suggests, The Change Forum’s business is change. We provide strategic consulting, coaching and facilitation support for organisations to renovate culture, build leadership capability, develop a more resilient, adaptable workforce and inspire more flexible, high-performing teams. We’ve a long history of designing and facilitating innovative workplace transformation, learning and improvement processes where leadership, organisational learning and culture change are keys to success.
Working Better Together is our underlying goal… We tailor teambuilding and leadership programs to your organisation context, run scheduled in-person coaching clinics in selected regional centres and, from early 2021, we’ll also present a selection of our programs live online – so you can attend wherever you are. Our course offerings support anyone keen to improve their leadership and teamworking capabilities around relationships, conversations, workplace wellbeing, culture change, cohesion and coaching skills. If a more personalised approach is preferred, individual leadership coaching is also available.
Our programs and services fit into 5 main themes covering essential leadership, teamworking and culture change capabilities today’s leaders need to support vibrant, healthy work cultures and high-performing teams…
Emotional self-management, self-awareness and mindful action are essential capabilities for building healthy workplaces that support individual wellbeing and promote resilient, cohesive teams. We provide a range of Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness and Wellbeing clinics for leaders, staff and teams, including: Leading with Emotional Intelligence, EI at Work (for staff), Teaching with EI, Social Intelligence in Teams, Mindful Leadership in Action, Mindfulness at Work (for staff), Trauma 1st-Aid self-help clinics and Building Resilience at Work.

Understanding how the way we communicate impacts everything we do at work, becoming more conversationally-aware and mastering a variety of tools to improve the conversations you have is a key skill for great leadership and high-functioning teams. Our long-running Dealing with Difficult Discussions program is regarded a valuable asset for leaders at all levels, along with our general Constructive Conversations clinic and more targetted programs including: Positive Performance Conversations (versions for leaders and staff), Defusing Difficult Encounters, Persuasive Conversations, and Building Conversational Confidence.

With a background of over 25 years consulting around team formation and development, our Working Better Together framework provides a flexible series of modules that can be combined in different ways to target specific improvement areas or a range of topics that suit particular team needs. Publicly, we periodically offer stand-alone programs like Building Better Teams, Working as One Team, Building Respectful Workplaces, Socially Intelligent Teams. We also provide an extended in-house Leadership Team Action Learning program for senior and executive teams that combines team learning sessions with individual leadership coaching.
Leaders exert a profound impact on the performance, culture, values and emotional climate of the people around them. Building leadership capacity at all levels is a central concern for forward-thinking organisations – who understand that today’s leaders need to expand their traditional ‘positional’ roles to become networkers, mobilisers, facilitators, coaches, values-stewards and engagers – leveraging learning to challenge prevailing mental models, mobilise coalitions, develop shared solutions and visions and create a supportive environment which unleashes innovation and learning potential in others. In addition to personal mastery and wellbeing programs, our Learning to Lead series includes Launching Future Leaders, Leadership Action Learning, Essentials of Facilitation, Facilitating Effective Teams, Learning to be a Coaching Leader, Mentoring for Managers. We also regularly provide individual coaching around leadership and personal mastery.
