In how you connect with and influence others.

Our Approach

SeeChange Partners is dedicated to developing exceptional leaders and powerful teams who drive flourishing organizations. We work with leaders and teams who believe that promoting organization self-awareness increases their success.

It is our unique ability to identify, isolate, and address complex ill-defined organizational development challenges that make us the right choice for so many companies.

Our winning ingredients are our depth of experience in business, decades of executive and team coaching, and particularly our longtime use of the Enneagram system of personality. Our experience shows that the Enneagram is the most effective, efficient and profound leadership development tool available. We use it to increase emotional intelligence and create an empathetic connection as the starting point for collaboration.

Our clients are smart enough to know they need help, but they aren’t quite sure how to go about it. We’re sure. We ask the right questions and offer the right solutions that will unlock potential for people to be their best selves at work and in life.

Comments

Heard on the street:

“I would not hesitate to recommend SeeChange Partners to any Leader, Board, or Organization that struggles with critical conversations, challenging management team relationships or sorting out business strategy and tactics.”

“Joni and Jane's level of depth in the enneagram typing system together with their very different personal styles, experiences and approaches was an incredibly powerful combination.”

“We didn’t know where to begin. Through coaching, interviews and some difficult but necessary meetings, SeeChange Partners helped us identify, prioritize and tackle some challenging interpersonal conflicts within our group.”

“The work with SeeChange Partners has precipitated some difficult changes within the organization. We expected that. But at least now we're moving in the same direction toward a higher goal.”

Meet Jane Tight

Joni about Jane:

Curious, heartful, intuitive, encouraging.
A shining light; empathy + practicality = master coach

For the past 20 years, Jane has been coaching leaders and organizations to successful outcomes. She leads with deep, empathic listening, encouraging the best of her clients to show up, and then she challenges them with fierce belief that they can get what they want. Jane’s sweet spot is using the Enneagram as a transformational tool with individuals and scaling organizations who know that the world needs more self-aware people. Specialties include leadership coaching, Enneagram facilitation, development and training, offsites, team building and consulting.

Jane earned the designation of Master Coach with Coaches Training Institute. She also earned an MS in Communication Disorders/Language Pathology from University of Redlands after which she founded a Speech Clinic that she grew and managed for 19 years as a first career. She started working with “disorders of communication”... and still is!

Jane about Jane:

I love backpacking, living and traveling in Europe, reading great books, and beating my four grown sons in ping pong (when I can!) Along with my husband, I enjoy fruit and vegetables from our garden, honey from our beehives, eggs from the chickens, and the Golden Cocker puppy we share with our best friends!
