Mentoring Leaders in Change
Executive coaching for those who lead transformation
Leading change can be one of the most rewarding and demanding parts of leadership. It requires clarity, composure, and the ability to inspire belief in uncertain times.
changemaker’s Mentoring Leaders in Change programme provides confidential, high-impact coaching for executives and senior leaders navigating transformation. We help you strengthen self-awareness, resilience, and influence, letting you lead people through complexity with confidence and authenticity.
Why It Matters
Change tests leaders just as much as it does organisations.
As responsibilities grow, so does the pressure to balance performance, pace, and people. Many leaders face moments of doubt, fatigue, or isolation as they carry the weight of transformation. Our coaching creates space for reflection and growth. It helps you step back, see clearly, and connect leadership intent with its desired impact.
You don’t need another consultant, you need a thinking partner who understands the realities of leading change.
Our Approach
Every leader is different, so our coaching is tailored to your needs, personality, and context. We blend executive coaching, behavioural insight, and mentoring from leaders who have delivered major transformation themselves.
Our work typically focuses on:
- Clarity – defining vision, direction, and leadership intent
- Confidence – building personal presence and decision-making strength
- Capability – developing emotional intelligence and influence
- Connection – leading people through uncertainty with empathy and purpose
- Culture – embedding the mindset and behaviours that sustain change
Coaching sessions are confidential, one-to-one, and grounded in Lumina Spark or other behavioural frameworks where relevant.
How it helps
Leaders who engage in this work often report:
- Clearer alignment between personal values and organisational goals
- Stronger resilience and ability to handle pressure
- Better communication and stakeholder influence
- Renewed energy and confidence to lead transformation
- Healthier relationships with peers, teams, and themselves
Whether you’re leading a major change programme, stepping into a new role, or you’re simply ready to grow, our coaching helps you lead from a place of self-awareness and strength.
Human Change
Our mentors and coaches are experienced leaders and qualified practitioners. They’ve led transformation themselves and bring deep understanding of both business and human change.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about how we help organisations deliver change more effectively, with the right governance and approach.
How can modernising processes help dealerships?
Every dealership knows that focusing on customer delight while balancing an efficient operation is critical. By creating more simplicity and transparency for the customer, integrating systems to remove manual bottlenecks, we can help dealerships to achieve these outcomes. This allows Sales, Service and Finance teams to access the same data, reducing errors, and enabling faster service. More automated workflows enable staff to focus more time on building loyal customer relationships.
What role does data play?
Real-time dashboards provide visibility into inventory, production and customer interactions. Predictive analytics can forecast demand and schedule maintenance. We help implement data governance so decisions are based on accurate information.
How do we prepare for the shift to electric, Software Defined, and autonomous vehicles?
The technological shift in the engineering of vehicles themselves is perhaps the biggest change impacting all aspects of the value chain, and importantly those closest to the customer have the biggest challenge to overcome. We help organisations navigate through this identifying where the opportunities are to add value and ensure our clients are ready to take advantage and achieve their ambitious goals.
How do we manage change across multiple sites?
We establish governance that standardises data definitions and practices, while allowing flexibility for local conditions. Shared dashboards and cross-location forums enable collaboration and knowledge sharing. Regular communication ensures alignment.
How do we address employee resistance?
Resistance often stems from fear of the unknown. As part of the fundamentals in our approach to change management we work with those impacted to ensure that there is awareness of the need for change, desire to participate and support the change, knowledge on how to change, ability to implement required skills and behaviours and reinforcement to sustain the change.
How long will transformation take?
Timelines depend on scope. Digitising records and implementing dashboards might take months, while preparing for electric and autonomous vehicles could be a multi-year journey. We recommend phased initiatives, starting with high-impact areas to build momentum.
