Developing Entrepreneurial Leaders who empower others to act
TRAINING WHICH BUILDS CAPACITY FOR PROFESSIONALS AND COMMUNITIES
Creating Changemakers is an innovative, human-centred development programme that equips staff and community leaders to not just deliver change, but to lead it, enable it, and sustain it.
By blending coaching approaches with entrepreneurial leadership and innovation tools, participants learn how to unlock the potential in others — colleagues, residents, partners, and wider community networks.
They leave not only with new skills, but with a mindset:
the mindset of a Changemaker.
What is a Changemaker?
A Changemaker is an entrepreneurial leader who can:
- Spot opportunities others may miss
- Engage and motivate people around them
- Support others to grow their confidence and capability
- Innovate in real-world, pressured environments
- Lead change with communities, not for them
This person is rooted in coaching, empathy, and practical problem-solving — able to empower others to take ownership, build solutions, and create momentum from within.
In organisations where staff are stretched, expectations are high, and impact must be delivered through relationships, Changemakers are essential.
They are the catalysts who turn strategy into reality.
Why Changemakers Matter now
Across local systems — place-making, community development, housing, health, inclusion — success depends on one thing:
People who can bring others with them.
Yet frontline teams are often:
- Under pressure
- Under-resourced
- Expected to “fix” problems rather than enable communities to lead
Creating Changemakers flips this pattern.
It builds internal capacity, reduces dependency on external experts, and enables communities to become designers and drivers of their own future.
“Your staff are the bridge between policy and people.
When they learn to coach and think entrepreneurially, communities start to do the same.”
