Accredited Change Agent | Change Leadership Expert
Ciara Lancaster is an accredited change leadership expert, a global authority on change fatigue and resilience. Ciara is Australia’s only main-stage speaker with real-world experience leading workplace change and transformation at Deloitte.
After leading teams of 500+ through change management, business transformation and digital innovation efforts at Deloitte Australia, Ciara Lancaster went on to write and own the topic of change fatigue and resilience in her book.
During the peak of the pandemic, 'Reimagine Change' became a #1 best-seller in Organisational Behaviour and Stress Management. You will frequently see Ciara Lancaster's thought leadership in the media. The Financial Review, Sky News, In The Black, Women's Agenda and CEOWorld Magazine to name a few.

Ciara meets audiences where they are through emotional resonance, then guides them toward her signature shifts forward. In a workplace defined by escalating pressure, competing commitments, intense change and future of work anxiety, teams want something real: clarity they trust, tools they use tomorrow, and guidance that reignites momentum.
Her ideal audience are leaders exhausted from carrying the load, yet determined to make their teams change-fit for the year ahead. Ciara’s mission is to energise and equip them with grounded, immediately usable coaching strategies that lift organisational-wide change resilience and support any transformation roadmap.
