The Change Gym

The Change Gym is an Australian company based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. We help businesses and organisations of any size, industry, or location to improve their readiness for change and transformational leadership so they can be more effective, productive, and able to progress towards their goals.

Our approach is scientific, educational, and psychological. It is also practical. We believe in practice based on logical and scientific thinking that can be applied in the real world to solve real problems. Progress is made as we apply new knowledge and increasingly sophisticated thinking to our daily practice. Our programs are used in real-world settings, such as universities, healthcare settings, and businesses. 

We provide education, but it is education relevant to your world and the issues you face. Its aim is to enhance your capacity to resolve the problems that get you stuck so you can make better progress. 

We help our clients in ways that maximise effectiveness and minimise cost – whether that be in person, online, or a mixture of both.  

Hi, I’m Steve Barlow, Owner and Director of The Change Gym. I am glad you have joined me on this website.

Over the past two decades, I have researched and developed services and resources relating to change readiness and transformational leadership. 

You have heard the old maxim: you can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink.

The same thing applies to change. You can have a great idea yet be frustrated because people don’t engage. 

This lack of engagement affects some people more than others, but those it does affect are usually easy to find. I want to help you make them harder to find – at least in your organisation and team.

I know a thing or two about this topic. I have a PhD in it and teach it in a Master of Leadership program at the University of Tasmania, so I am well-placed to help you, too. 

If you want to improve your leadership and make change easier for yourself and others, why not reach out and have a chat with me? Let’s see what new adventures may be around the corner.

Steve
