Safety is not the absence of threat.
It is the presence of connection.

Dr. Gabor Maté

In Egotrip neemt Nanja Kolk je mee op reis door de menselijke psyche. Dwars door het ondoorgrondelijke landschap van je brein, door de dichte mist van je onbewuste, langs de kolkende stroom van je gedachten en gevoelens, naar de oeroude wortels van je verleden, en weer terug naar je relaties in het hier-en-nu.

WHAT WE DO

Years of change experience taught us change needs a different approach. Organisations and people cannot be changed in 'cold' way. It requires people to connect as humans. Powered by empathy and an open mind we help people in organisations to increase self-awareness and to speak their minds truthfully, in order to release human energy and talent. Our approach works like a strong antidote for conflict and negativity and as an accelerator for decision making and strong business results.

The Changery is a boutique consultancy specialised in the psychology of change. From our head office in Amsterdam we work with clients around the world. With expertise in both behaviour change and leadership, we support management teams in organisational change processes, we coach multi-cultural teams, leaders and professionals and we connect people at all levels of an organisation.

Change
The key to successful lasting change is a shared acceptance and understanding of what needs to be done. In our change approach we help bringing together great ideas by working side by side with the top team, middle management and work floor. In a structured, incremental process, new strategies and operating model are translated in improved, cohesive ways of working.
Team development
We believe in strong, inclusive teams. Teams that go for growing the business and take care of each other. Our sessions are structured in such a way that the results of the sessions will benefit the team dynamics as well as the business decisions that have to be made.
Personal Coaching
We won’t tell you what to do, but we will guide you in finding your own path and breaking through your own barriers and limiting beliefs. Our coaching style is known for being personal, dedicated, challenging, witty and respectful.

Crazy about chocolate, serious about people. Based on our core values ​​and unique culture, we invest in the strength of the leadership team and our individual development, so we can continue to grow in an impactful way. The Changery helps us in these areas; thoughtful, powerful, pragmatic and challenging. In personal conversations, the connection is regularly made with our individual and collective 'undercurrent'. The sessions with The Changery make us stronger, more professional and more aware. Because only together we can make chocolate 100% slave free.

With a heavy agenda of deliverables and a high workload, it is good to take a moment for the team. With the Changery we learned how we can help each other to grow and to grow as a team. As a leader of the team, I have learned what the most important coaching needs are for each team member. The Changery tackles both the top layer, the visible and the invisible bottom layer. This reveals unspoken pain and frustration and creates a wonderfully clean slate to move on.

The Changery helped us to look at ourselves and our organisation in an open and critical way. With their respectful, cheerful and sometimes confrontational approach The Changery has made a significant contribution to the way we give each other feedback, listen to each other and are aware of our pitfalls. The approach of The Changery fits well with us and always gives us new energy to do our jobs even better.

Despite or maybe thanks to the Covid-19 situation, we recently experienced a highly effective, digital teamsession with the Changery. This teamsession turned out to be highly effective, thanks to our coach, who with the right tone of voice and the perfect program, managed to get the real stories on the table.
It was personal and educational, with a great atmosphere.

Eventually we called it the Miracle of Kijkduin: how the advisors of The Changery made it happen that a group of twelve ambassadors and directors of the Department of Foreign Affairs discovered in themselves and in each other the inspiration and motivation to make the FA-organisation better, more modern and appealing.

The Changery helps Vancis to implement operational excellence. The knowledge of processes at strategic, tactical and operational levels, in combination with guidance and interventions, makes them unique. With sharp analysis and pace the Changery helped Vancis not only to take the right steps, but also facilitated that all levels in the organisation were aligned. The Changery has become a very valuable partner within Vancis.

At RBS Netherlands, within 2 years we have brought back the Finance organisation from 300 to 30 employees. The Changery helped our MT with four nationalities to align on: how do we get this job done in an effective and human way? At all the moments of truth the management and staff worked side by side with the consultants of The Changery. We always felt we were in charge, but always supported by the firm and empathetic guidance of The Changery.

The Changery gave insight to Cushman & Wakefield during various meetings that delivering top performance is only possible with a connected team. If the organisation is open to the unique qualities and limitations of the persons who constitute the tea, than there is a fundament to achieve this. The personal sessions were based on trust and the will to improve. By involving a large part of the organisation in the desired change, we got to solutions that are widely supported. Everyone looks back on a valuable and lasting partnership with The Changery.

In 2008 I was in charge of three quite independently operating divisions, led by strong men, each with a distinctive character. Realising that that the sum is more impactful then the separate parts, I have asked The Changery to facilitate my team. In a very intense, productive and sometimes confrontational atmosphere, they have managed to break down the barriers. Each member of the team became stronger and the role of each team member became more clear than ever before.
