Core Idea: Personal change fitness builds inner psychological strengths, enabling people to be more successful at change and with greater endurance in the team.
Broader Strategy: Align personal change fitness with organisational change readiness (e.g., leadership, culture, agility) so the whole business adapts faster.

Change fitness/readiness programs for leaders and their teams
Ever feel you’re leading something that matters, but it’s demanding more than you want to give?
Whether you built the business or manage a critical team, you’re carrying the weight:
- Long hours, constant pressure, and no real off switch
- Resistance from the people you need to move forward
- Fear that burnout or pushback could undo everything you’ve worked for
You’re not just managing strategy; you’re managing emotion, uncertainty, and the risk to your reputation. And it’s exhausting. You want a business and a team that move with you, not against you.
There’s a better way to lead.
When you understand what drives resistance, how to build readiness, and how to redesign your role, you can lead with confidence, trust, and impact.
- You’re not broken and you’re not alone. You may be under-equipped for the pace and complexity of today’s change.
- Change fitness isn’t about pushing harder: it’s about thinking smarter.
- When leaders build change fitness, they unlock clarity, motivation, and endurance.
👉 Let’s talk. I help founders and managers shift gears, build momentum, and reconnect with what matters most. The right conversation could change everything.
Change Fatigue in Healthcare Leaders
A group of Australian healthcare professionals felt overwhelmed by constant change. Their teams were also burnt out, questioning their ability to continue in the industry. Here’s how we helped them.
First, Diagnosis: Change Fitness Assessment
Purpose: To measure psychological endurance for change.
Findings:
Motivation and Vision were notably weak.
All scores were below 50%, indicating change aversion and impaired performance under pressure.
There are two key points to note in this graph. First, motivation and vision are weaker than the five other areas. That in itself would make it hard for them to cope with change.
Second, look at the numbers – they are all below 50. These figures tell a story. This is the profile of a group of people who are change-averse and whose workplace performance is adversely affected when significant change occurs. This is not a picture of strong change muscles.
Second, Intervention: Personal Change Fitness Program
Approach:
Individual and group coaching for 12 weeks.
Exploration of beliefs and thinking patterns around change.
Alignment with academic theory to challenge unhelpful assumptions.
Outcome:
Motivation and Vision improved.
Average score rose from 39% to 58%.
Most scores exceeded 50%, with four in the 60s.
There are two things to notice in this profile. First, motivation and vision had both improved. It’s not yet perfect – balance still needs more work, but it is a distinct improvement.
The second thing to note is the numbers. Before they began coaching, the group’s change fitness score averaged 39%. None of the scores even reached 50. Now, the average scores have increased to 58% – four of the seven scores are in the 60 range, and all but one are above 50.
How did this change the people? They shifted from fear and reluctance to a more emboldened and forward-looking mindset.
