Changing How We Change: The Coaching Shift Every Change Leader Needs
Today's most effective change leaders aren’t just managing projects—they’re creating conditions for people to grow through change. This session explores how coaching and change management intersect to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate the transition.
Facilitated by Angelina Beas, a certified ICF coach, and experienced change leader, this session reframes coaching not just as a tool but as an intelligent way of connecting and communicating during times of uncertainty. Coaching enhances a practitioner’s ability to lead change with curiosity, emotional intelligence, and humility—qualities that build trust and help people move forward without resistance.
Participants will explore how core coaching competencies such as deep listening, presence, somatic awareness, and powerful questioning support the human side of change. The session will also dive into the mindset shift from "expert" to "partner" and how this approach strengthens relationships, increases adoption, and surfaces deeper insights.
This session, grounded in emotional intelligence and practical examples, invites change practitioners to reimagine their role. Attendees will walk away with tangible strategies for integrating coaching behaviors into everyday interactions to build resilient, empowered teams.
