Transforming Businesses with the Power of Emotion
About Us
Creating Real Change with Emotional Intelligence
At Change Aligned, we know emotions are at the heart of success.
They’re often dismissed in the workplace, but the truth is, emotions shape how teams connect, collaborate, and achieve results.
We’ve seen what happens when change is handled poorly.
Leaders push forward without listening, and teams lose focus, causing frustration and missed opportunities. On the other hand, avoiding change out of fear holds everyone back. But when change is done right, it energises teams and creates new possibilities.
Real change starts with emotional intelligence.
Leaders who understand their teams and create an environment of trust, motivation, and openness build the foundation for success.
We make it simple. By combining practical tools like Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) with creative methods like the Emotional Culture Deck and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, we bring strategy to life in a way that’s engaging, clear, and fun for your team.
With over 70 years of combined experience, strategy consultants in London are here to help you turn challenges into opportunities and guide your team toward real, measurable success.
A Message from Olga Valadon, Founder of Change Aligned
When I started Change Aligned, it wasn’t just about strategy—it was about people. After decades of working with leaders and teams across the globe, I’ve seen one undeniable truth: businesses thrive when their people thrive.
My own leadership journey hasn’t always been smooth. I’ve faced moments where unchecked emotions risked relationships and where the pressure to deliver overshadowed the needs of my team. Those experiences taught me the value of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the power of empathy in leadership.
At Change Aligned, everything we do is centered on the human element. From team building to leadership coaching, the goal is always to create environments where people feel valued, inspired, and ready to achieve their best.
As a woman leader, I know the challenges many face in finding their voice and redefining leadership on their own terms. Certifying Change Aligned as a woman-owned business is part of my commitment to making sure diverse voices are heard and celebrated.
If you’re looking to build stronger teams, tackle challenges, and create meaningful results, let’s talk. When people thrive, businesses succeed.
Warm regards,
Olga Valadon
