Our Credentials

Change Partners is South Africa’s foremost executive coaching practitioner. We were founded in 1998 and are the first practice in Africa to focus exclusively on the development of business leaders through the deployment of customised executive coaching techniques.

Change Partners is rooted in South Africa and attuned to the unique challenges of a business landscape in the throes of permanent transition. In addition, we stay close to global developments via our membership of The Global Coaching Partnership, an international alliance of specialist business coaching practitioners.

As a leader in the executive coaching discipline, Change Partners works with some of South Africa’s most respected organisations, including: Anglo American, BHP Billiton, ABSA, Nedbank, FNB, Old Mutual SA, ABN-Amro, DaimlerChrysler SA, Cummins Diesel, MAN Truck and Bus, Honeywell, Nike, Vodacom, MTN, Siemens, SARS, the National Ports Authority, IFC (the investment arm of the World Bank), the Aga Khan Development Network, the National Prosecution Authority, Rand Refinery, the Department of Environment and Tourism and the City of Johannesburg.

Our vision is to become and remain Africa’s most effective catalyst for unlocking organisational value through enhanced business leadership.  Our mission is to help high-potential individuals be the best that they can be – as crystallised in our marketing promise ‘Helping Good Leaders Become Great’.

The values of Change Partners are:

• To behave with integrity and professionalism in everything we do;
• To faithfully discharge the trust placed in us by respecting every confidence and insight;
• To objectively define goals and measure progress in a manner that at all times advances the best interests of our clients;
• To commit to excellence by engaging in rigorous quality assurance processes and peer scrutiny.

The growth of Change Partners is not reliant on ads or fads. Our programmes are results-driven; so is the success of our practice. More than 80% of new business acquisition is initiated by personal referral from satisfied clients while nearly half of our turnover is attributable to contract renewals or extensions to the original scope of our work.

Change Partners is neither an offshoot of a training organisation nor an afterthought on a business school curriculum. We are business coaching specialists with dedicated focus on our chosen field of endeavour.

We do not seek growth by diluting or popularising an essentially ‘top-end’ product. Our point of focus is upper echelon corporate management. Executive coaching is a dialogue between equals of some seniority. All our interventions are designed to unlock organisational value through the targeted utilisation of coaching techniques or learnings from our coaching experience.
