I'm Carl, the founder and director of Relationships for Change.
I love connecting people to the joy of learning, and turning that learning into impactful action and purposeful change.
After over 25 years working in local government change and transformation, I have developed a clear understanding of my approach and have learnt what consistently and effectively enables transformation to happen - and the barriers which stop it from happening! This is why I created Relationships for Change. I know that relationships are at the heart of change and transformation and want to help you to do what matters by learning what matters.
My approach is:
- build genuine trusted relationships
- design change and transformation which is always grounded in evidence and understanding
- create mutual learning and curiosity
- develop high support high challenge ways of working
- play and connect with the joy of purposeful work
The best way to build a relationship is to have a conversation, so lets talk.
