Home - Jen Dalitz

Welcome! I’m Jen Dalitz and as The Change Coach, I guide businesses, teams and individuals through the change they need to make.

For the past 25 years, I’ve built a career around change. I’ve designed change strategy as a management consultant in global consulting firms; I’ve led large scale transformational change as a program manager in big corporates; I’ve lived change in three start-up businesses; and I’ve delivered coaching and structured professional development to over 1,000 individuals on their own change journeys.

Working one-on-one or with teams, as a contract project manager, or through facilitating workshops and strategic planning sessions, my job is to ensure each and every client understands what it really takes to achieve the results that they need; have a clear pathway to get there; are kept on track over time; and remain inspired to realise their full potential. So how can I support your next transition?
