Why we do this work

THE CHALLENGE

Schools are navigating constant change, growing complexity, and increasing demands - all while trying to nurture both learning and wellbeing.

Leaders and staff care deeply, but many are stretched thin as the pressure to “do more with less” takes its toll. Wellbeing, engagement, and connection are under strain - and that inevitably impacts learning.

Yet the commitment to students remains strong. Every educator wants to create a school where everyone feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn. But thriving students depend on thriving adults.

And many schools are grappling with:
  • Rising burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue
  • Leaders under-prepared for people and culture challenges
  • Curriculum and administrative demands crowding out time for reflection and connection
  • Difficult conversations that are avoided or unresolved
  • Wellbeing and performance seen as opposing priorities
  • Change fatigue from initiatives that don’t stick

what we help you achieve

THE TRANSFORMATION WE HELP CREATE

When schools invest in strengthening the human side of education - trust, connection, communication, and collaboration - everything begins to shift. Teams work better together. Leaders model the culture they want to see. Wellbeing, engagement, and performance rise - and students feel the difference.

We help educators and school leaders build the human capabilities that enable people to lead well, relate well, and live well - so the whole school community can thrive.

After working with us, schools experience:
  • Leaders who inspire trust and foster courageous, inclusive dialogue
  • Teams who collaborate effectively and support one another through change
  • Cultures grounded in care, accountability, and collective responsibility
  • Improved staff wellbeing, engagement, and retention
  • Sustainable change - where shifts in mindset, behaviour, and culture last beyond the program.

"The Change Collab opens people's minds!"

The Change Collab gently opens people's minds while also challenging people to be aware of the impact they’re having and to do better. It was great to see and hear staff being mindful of cultural attitudes, privileges, microaggressions and prejudices. Chantelle is pragmatic and strategic in her approach. The Change Collab takes the pressure off school leadership to address sensitive matters alone and allows the leadership team to participate in the learning.
Siobhan
Deputy Principal, KAAS - Australia

 ...dynamic, empathetic and passionate...

“Our wonderful instructor, Chantelle Kohn, captured our attention and expertly delivered important content in a respectful, open-minded fashion. Learners were engaged in these timely, interactive workshops, and at the end they were encouraged to reflect on their learning and how they can incorporate it into their daily life. I couldn’t ask for a more dynamic, empathetic, passionate educator to work with our team. Thank you, Chantelle!”
Shelley
Educator, KCS - Canada 

"Chantelle has inspired many teachers"

“Chantelle supported Smithfield Middle school’s efforts to build staff and student understanding of identity, power and privilege. She led efforts to disrupt biases and assumptions that impact school climate, instruction and student achievement. It is through caring, compassion, creativity and attention to our school’s individual needs that Chantelle has inspired many teachers at our school to shift their mindsets and work for change.”
Hella 
Deputy Principal, SMS - Canada 

"I take away courage to speak up"

"I appreciate all that you have shared with us throughout the program and how you have engaged us all. I take away from this experience an acute awareness of my own biases and how they can be evident in my practice. I also take away courage to speak up and not accept poor behaviour when it comes to human rights and respect."

Educator, KASS - Australia
