Change Elemental accelerates flexible approaches to leadership that enable individuals, organizations, and networks to more fluidly and effectively respond to, and influence, shifting conditions over time.

Change Elemental partners with individuals, organizations, foundations, and networks to grow and nourish leadership at multiple levels. Together, we develop, evolve, and adapt the structures, systems, and practices that enable people to move in and out of leadership in order to advance their vision in a rapidly changing environment. We also support staff, boards, and governance partners in developing the competencies and capacities they need to increase agility and operate with depth and focus in the day-to-day, and in the long run. Critical to this process is deepening relationships rooted in trust.

Central to our approach is developing and deepening the interconnected practices of the elements that are critical to advancing transformative change. These practices include engaging the broader system; intentionally building relationships that embody equity; examining issues of diversity, equity, and power; embracing the many ways we make meaning of the world; and creating the space for the inner work that is needed to be in right relationship with one another.
