WE LOVE CHANGE

It may feel hard and uncomfortable, but there is magic on the other side of a change and beauty in the journey to get there.

Champion of Change is built on the foundation that change leads to a better world.

We seek a world of equality, innovation, and kindness where each person’s uniqueness is celebrated. We believe there are always opportunities to learn, grow and evolve. That doesn’t mean we are broken – we are strong beyond our own belief. And by leveraging our strengths, we can make the impact that we desire in this world.

What impact do you want to have?

MEET THE FOUNDER AND COACH

“I realized my favorite part of my job was helping my team achieve their full potential and contribute in meaningful ways.” 

– Jen Milnes

Jen spent over 15 years in corporate retail working in Supply Chain, Inventory Management, and Operations, leading teams around the world. She loved developing strategies, improving processes, and driving the business by combining her aptitude for numbers and process with her strong leadership skills. Jen’s proudest moment was as the Head of her function, she hired and trained a whole new team in New York and created an innovative, inclusive, and successful team while always focused on their customers.

While her jobs were rewarding for a long time, there was an internal shift happening and Jen knew she needed a change so that she could impact the world in a different way. Jen began the journey to getting certified as an Executive Coach through the Co-Active Training Institute. Coaching clients individually and as teams enabled her to see the power of creating a safe and non-judgmental environment for people to tap into their strengths and feel more confident to make the changes they want.
