What Is Change Management Coaching? Definition
Change management coaching is the process in which a change practitioner or team receives 1-on-1 coaching to help enhance their change management skills, techniques, and practices, and to increase their change management successes and expertise. A change coach helps you plan, design, deliver, and manage your key change deliverables, and provides you with personalized support based on best change practices and methodologies.
Signing up for a change coach is basically signing up for your own change management concierge who will work directly with you to help you deliver a wide range of change deliverable, assignment, and tasks, and to help you and/or your team develop robust change management skills.
Coaching for change is important for organizations, change practitioners, and project leads as it enables them to increase the success of business transformations. Change coaching, support, and training also empowers you to navigate major change management challenges.

My Experience as a Change Management Lead and Coach
A decade after Steve Jobs handed the reins of leadership at Apple to Timothy Cook, I was hired as an Organizational Change Consultant to establish Apple’s Business-to-Business (B2B) Sales Organization Change Management COE. I created this Change Management Office from scratch, and planned, designed, launched, and managed it. I also coached Intel’s Supply Chain Change Management Team to deliver effective enterprise-wide change management using a change management as a service approach.
Throughout my change management tenure, I have delivered end-to-end change programs at Apple, Cisco, Deloitte, Accenture, State Street, Bank of New York Mellon, Fannie Mae, Intel, the U.S. Federal Reserve, and other global corporations. And have delivered change management for programs that impacted a wide range of users (from 100 – 20,000 individuals) including M&A Integration, ERP/CRM/Systems Implementation, Process, Procedures & Policies, People/Skills, Org Culture, Business Transformations, Agile, Data & Analytics & Compliance changes.
My approach for coaching change practitioners, leaders, and teams involves a structured, but flexible approach, and is designed to empower you to deliver the best levels of organizational change management.
