Practising the human skills of change at work.

The Change Lab

Most workplace challenges aren’t technical. They’re about how people communicate, make decisions, and respond under pressure.

The Change Lab is a hands-on learning experience that helps teams practise the human skills of change at work, from communication and listening to navigating difference and uncertainty.

Many organisations are good at managing tasks and targets, but struggle when tension, uncertainty, or change enters the room. The Change Lab focuses on the human side of work that often gets overlooked, until it becomes a problem.

This is not a leadership program. It’s designed for teams at all levels. Participants work with real workplace situations, practise conversations that matter, and test better ways of working together.

The Change Lab supports teams who want to work better together when change is complex or challenging.

This 2-day program is designed for organisations and teams who:

• Want people to communicate better, especially when things get difficult

• Are navigating change, complexity, or competing priorities

• Want practical skills, not theory or leadership jargon

• Need something that works for intact or cross-functional teams

This includes

• HR and People & Culture teams

• People managers and team leads

• Cross-functional or project teams

Because most workplace issues aren’t technical. They’re human.

The Change Lab helps teams:

• Slow down unhelpful patterns in how work gets done

• Make sense of complexity together

• Build shared language for clearer communication and better decisions

This program is designed to build awareness, capability, and practical starting points. By the end of the program, you will:

• Increase awareness of how communication patterns and assumptions show up in everyday work

• Practise approaches for engaging in difficult conversations with less reactivity

• Develop shared language for working across roles, teams, and perspectives

• Identify practical actions and small experiments to continue applying the learning beyond the program

This program won’t solve everything in two days. What it does is help teams notice patterns, practise new approaches, and leave with clearer starting points for ongoing work.

• 2-day, in-person program

• Designed for one intact team (minimum 8 participants) or multiple teams (up to 25 participants)

• Delivered as a highly interactive, facilitated experience

The program can be tailored to suit your organisational context. Designed to support both open cohorts and organisation-based groups.

This is a two-day, highly facilitated, practice-based experience. The price reflects the depth of engagement and the focus on real workplace application rather than content delivery.
