We are here to facilitate a more joyful, impactful and life-centred way of work
Instead of chasing after the illusive work life balance, we advocate for work life harmony. As cyclical beings in an ever-changing world, our needs and wishes for life are constantly evolving. We show social entrepreneurs, changemaking organisations and impact-driven individuals how to design work around life, instead of the other way round.
Our Values are the Heart of All We Do
-
✦ Impact ✦
The core value that drives all our actions is our strong passion towards creating an impact for a better, happier + more regenerative future of work. We want to facilitate change towards meaningful work that serves us as individuals better at the same as making a contribution to society + the world.
-
✦ Empowerment ✦
By guiding our clients to do the inner + outer work needed in order to find the answers + strategies they are seeking, we help them reconnect with themselves and their teams. We empower them to gain clarity, build courage, confidence + rise stronger.
-
✦ Transformation ✦
In order to help transform organisations and cultures of work, we need to embrace change. We help create regenerative business models and responsive organisations, as well as supporting individuals to pivot in their career or start their own business. The Good Change is all about facilitating transformation.
-
✦ Co-flourishing ✦
We see co-flourishing as a countermovement to traditional narratives of growth and performance. It means Connection, Collaboration + Co-creation with ourselves, our team / business / organisation, society + planet. We need each other in order to thrive. Success is rooted in community growth.
-
✦ Equality ✦
We value diversity, equity + inclusion in the workplace. We want to create a happier, healthier + more equal culture that helps employees/teams to thrive. Diverse workplace cultures spark productivity, creativity + innovation. Many organisations want to change, but they don’t know how. We help them to embed DEI in our new work approach.
-
✦ Joy ✦
We can and should allow ourselves to experience joy, ease + play both at + around work. Incorporating joy into the way we structure our days, decision making + business strategy is essential for making more space to consciously enjoy the things we love doing. Let’s build a more life-centred working culture.

Hi, I’m Lisa, Founder of The Good Change
I’m a systemic business + career coach and organisational consultant supporting impact-driven individuals, business owners and organisations to navigate big shifts. I facilitate a twin path of internal and external work to create systemic change so that people + planet can thrive in challenging times. It brings me joy to help my clients understand the problem they want to solve so we can implement impactful solutions together.
Here’s how I got here.
-
After spending 2 years wanting to quit a job in a less than ideal work environment, and then putting my whole career on hold to have a baby, I noticed an incredible opportunity to change the direction of my life and career.
During my 7+ years of experience in Consulting and Communication I’d witnessed and participated in all kinds of change processes over the years for clients. But this time it was my turn.
After I became a mother I realised that the fast-paced, long hour agency work-life I had been living for so long was not going to work for me anymore as a parent. I was longing for more meaning, more impact and a way to balance work with parenting. I couldn’t seem to find a job setting that was able to give me all of this so I crafted my own.
I decided to expand my skill set by completing a program to become a certified systemic coach and creative process facilitator. I quit my employment and went full-time with my coaching and consulting business, THE GOOD CHANGE!

I believe that challenging times and big changes in our lives - such as unemployment, parenting or career pivots - are not roadblocks, but chances to rethink and redesign our careers based on what matters most to us in life. They offer a learning opportunity to grow, evolve and get closer to living in alignment with our values.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to support anyone seeking a more balanced, fulfilling, and empowered work life harmony. At the same time as helping individuals, my work is also about fostering structural change in organisations towards a more future-oriented diverse, inclusive and thriving work culture.
Afterall, internal work needs external support, and vice versa.
