Founder Bio – Dr. Doris Change
Dr. Doris Change is a leadership development expert, executive coach, and corporate governance specialist dedicated to helping leaders build high-performing, ethical, and peoplecentered organizations.
She is an ICF- trained executive coach, Certified John Maxwell Team (JMT) leadership coach, and accredited Clarity4D behavioral facilitator, combining evidence-based coaching with practical leadership insight.
Dr. Change holds a PhD in Strategic Leadership and Organizational Change and is the author of Thank God It’s Monday Again, a book that challenges leaders to transform workplace culture through authentic leadership and employee engagement.
Her work sits at the intersection of leadership development, behavioral intelligence, and
governance, helping executives and leadership teams build trust, strengthen accountability, and create workplaces where employees are motivated and engaged.
Having personally navigated toxic work environments and overcome imposter syndrome earlier in her career, she brings both professional expertise and lived insight to the leaders she now supports.
Today, she works with leaders across Africa and internationally to help them lead with clarity, courage, and compassion while building organizations where people genuinely look forward to Monday mornings.
Our mission is to empower a new generation of African leaders through transformative coaching that cultivates emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and high-performance culture.
