The Change Place is an organizational and human potential development firm. Our mission is to develop people and transform organizations to achieve extraordinary results with greater ease, purpose, focus, commitment, and enjoyment.

We take you beyond wishful thinking into meaningful action that can transform your school system, business, organization or your personal and professional life!

Leading successful change is a challenge for most people & most organizations. It is a delicate process that requires experience and skill. The majority of change efforts fail - and most people resist change and stall your efforts. Don't rely on wishing and hoping that this time, people will jump on board. The Change Place can help make these efforts a success through our leadership training, executive coaching, organization development, employee seminars, and leadership workshops.

Leadership Training & Professional Development

Our POWERful Coaching for Powerful Results™ program internalizes the coaching process by providing training in skills, techniques and tools that can help everyone be a top-notch coach!

Creating positive, productive relationships with staff, board members and your stakeholder community will ensure long-term success and stability for you and your organization. Yet, that is often the biggest challenge leaders' face. Focusing on the soft skills of developing people to align their skills and strengths will yield results in the workplace and bring more enjoyment to their lives.

We offer a variety of training options to suit your needs, from 1/2-day to 6-month in-depth training. See our Program Descriptions for detailed information.

Executive & Leadership Coaching

Our one-on-one coaching services are designed to bring you out of your comfort zone and foster lasting change. Coaching is a highly-effective adult learning process. Adults learn better through dialogue and discovery rather than being taught. The coaching relationship forges a unique partnership that enables the coach to join in the mind and heart of the person being coached, enabling change to occur from within.

We get to the root cause of change by engaging in meaningful exploration of the coachee's thought process and beliefs. Doing so helps the coachee uncover behaviors that no longer serve them, or their organization.

Organization Development & Consulting Services

Our consulting and assessment services are tailored to your specific challenges. We are dedicated to the continuous improvement of individuals and organizations and integrate a coaching approach into our consulting services to get to the heart of change to help you fulfill your mission, achieve your vision and accomplish your challenging goals.

We take you beyond wishful thinking into meaningful action that can transform your school system, business, or organization by providing Leadership & Organizational Assessments, Organizational Coaching and Team Building, School Board & Board of Directors Development, Strategic Plan Facilitation, and a variety of change management tools.

Employee Seminars & Keynote Addresses

Our dynamic workshops and speaking events are interactive, meaningful and inspiring. We address such topics as: breaking through resistance, staff retention, peak performance strategies, communicating for results, becoming a high performing team and more.

Founder and Certified Empowerment Coach Karla Reiss and our cadre of coaching professionals can not only design a tailor-made professional program, we also offer inspirational presentations to help your organization succeed.

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal;
it is the courage to continue that counts."
- Winston Churchill
