The GOOD CHANGE FACILITATOR: a fully-funded 3-month training supporting professionals from all sectors so they can shape the future of work to be more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient.
To all who yearn for change and wish to shape the future of work -
We can't continue as before.
Our economy needs an update. We firmly believe that a healthy, life-enhancing, and regenerative economy is possible. And we are convinced that the best solutions are generated from within. We believe that innovation arises in co-creation. As the flaws of the existing system become increasingly evident, momentum builds for change that prioritises sustainability, social justice, and holistic well-being.
In this liminal place, the in-between, change facilitation is a core future skill.
We have built a fully-funded 3-month program to encourage, support and guide as many people as possible to become agents of transformation. Together with you, we want to build an economy where companies contribute to solving the biggest problems of our time, rather than worsening them. Because we believe that the future of work belongs to all of us.
We start right where you are. Join our movement building a happier, healthier and more regenerative work world.

Why our economy needs more
GOOD CHANGE FACILITATORS
A regenerative economy strives to not only be sustainable, but also to actively restore and regenerate the environment. By closing cycles, using renewable resources and strengthening ecological systems, it aims to create long-term social justice and prosperity that does not come at the expense of the environment or future generations.
Problem-solving, flexibility, creativity and agility are non-negotiable skills we need in order to navigate the counter stacking crises of our times.
Due to demographic change, we are already in the midst of a shortage of skilled workers. We should no longer afford to lose good and motivated people in our organizations. People-centered working conditions and an appreciative approach to diversity are more important than ever before. Investing in people-centered working strategies is how we also address the high burnout rates and the growing phenomenon of quiet quitting.

We Care About Making This Work More Accessible
We are striving for an equal and joyful economy, where businesses are here to inspire social change. And where we can show up as our whole selves to work and still have energy for all the other elements of our lives at the end of a workday. We believe that in order to create this future - ALL OF US need to become active change-makers and advance the transformation we want to see in our organisations and the world.
Since organisational development & facilitation are topics that mostly privileged white people (and often men) with a strong academic history have access to, we want to break this pattern and make the tools & knowledge to shape the future of work accessible to everyone. Thanks to our collaboration with Fired Up Space, we can offer our Training 100% free of charge*
