Your job description isn't designed to serve life. Every time you step towards redefining your role, business-as-usual metrics slow you down.
You park your desire for real change outside your office door. You pick your battles because your credibility and livelihood are at stake and the alternatives could be worse.
You keep going with small resets and coping strategies so you can face another day. But you know there’s a systemic layer that isn’t going to resolve itself.
Looking for a pathway for your work to serve life?
Here is the path.
THE CORE PRACTICE-CHANGE PROGRAM
A 12-week program to create real positive change through your work.
There’s no going back once you see what’s broken.
But life-serving change takes practice.
Change how you make change
Practice-Change combines courage with accountability to turn long-held ambitions into real change.
It’s a simple, structured method to clarify what’s yours to do, to align your actions to truly serve life.
Navigate change alongside peers working to serve life
You’re in a unique context, but you’re not alone. Work alongside peers navigating how to make real change within their own roles.
Learn how ordinary people are doing extraordinary change-making work
Join live conversations with global trailblazers who share what’s working, what isn’t, and what they’re learning along the way.
Evolve into a new role and leave the old paradigm behind.
By the end of 12 weeks you’ll have a method to stay clear and keep moving in your change-making work, along with a life-serving network.

Work 1 on 1 with Lorraine to strengthen and sustain meaningful change through your work.
Practice Change was an eye-opener. It brought needed focus to my change efforts, weekly discipline, and clearer goals. Lorraine is a master coach. This is a finishing school for change agents.
For anyone feeling unsettled or unclear about their role in these shifting times, or sensing a desire to move from churn to meaningful change, Lorraine’s Practice Change program is an essential waystop. Drawing on her own lived experience and keen intuition, Lorraine creates a space that is both grounding and transformational, bringing clarity, rigor, and attunement to one’s own journey. For me, being challenged to embody my desired future-state, and then to articulate that as felt experience in the present, was empowering, scary, and delicious. The experience with Lorraine is, quite simply, pure soulcraft.
Make change stick with maximum guidance and accountability.
This is the highest-support version of Practice-Change: direct access and close support as you create meaningful change through your work.

Practice-Change has become a habit I genuinely look forward to. It took some time before the method really clicked, but once it did, it shifted how I approach my work. Now I’m clearer about the change I’m trying to create, what I can influence, and what isn’t mine to fight. I show up differently in my work: I bring more courage and specificity to important conversations, and I’m more confident bringing the voice of nature into global sustainability work. What surprised me is how much the practice has expanded beyond work. I’m seeing it show up in my relationships and my local community. I’m putting my energy where I can make a real difference.
I've just completed a cycle in Lorraine Smith's Practice-Change program and highly recommend it if you're trying to drive change and deepen your alignment with what matters most to you.
The Practice-Change methodology helped me turn a swirl of desire and ideas into a more clear, grounded path. It gave me structure to empower my right to dream and softened the anxiety that often comes with wanting to create change. The approach is both practical and deeply human — exactly what sustainability professionals need when the weight of the world feels overwhelming
The method holds me to account, the community inspires me, and Lorraine's guidance is equal parts focused and ambitious. In the span of 12 weeks, I've been engaging more with the right people resulting in a new business model and first client in a very challenging space. The connections with global change-makers and remarkable speakers are a bonus.
Practice-Change is especially powerful for people holding real complexity in a world of deep upheaval. I often felt pulled by competing and urgent calls to action, unsure of my place or next step. Through Practice-Change, I've been able to explore my relationships to wellbeing, work, and system change at the same time, without needing to simplify or separate them.
The leading edge needs a village and this is a very powerful one. Since joining practice change I have been able to find clarity, get unstuck and connect with world class change makers. I am less reactive and can be more present even when urgency invites being reactive. I would highly recommend Change Practice program to anyone who has the idealism, the ambition, but is also aware of the magnitude of the challenge to change systems.
Practice Change is a life-raft and a stabilizer, and Lorraine is a magician in listening and mirroring. She shifts mindsets towards hope and simplicity.

The territory most of us find ourselves in has no roadmap. So coming up with a way to break down how we’re going to bring change to life and make it feasible week by week is a great motivator and path-builder to real change.
I'm grateful for the community and the thoughtful way Lorraine guides the process. The method encourages reflection and action in a way that feels both supportive and challenging. I would recommend it to anyone looking to shift perspectives and engage more deeply with their work.
I went from thinking to doing, and it wasn't arbitrary. I now direct my actions in alignment with my values, and at different levels — from the high-level visionary view to the tactical grounded steps. There's no longer a disconnect between my big picture view and my boots on the ground. I have clear direction, and I'm motivated and inspired to take the best steps forward right now. I so value the live in-person time with other people practicing change, and the new relationships I'm building in this space.
Getting to practice alongside other highly capable, experienced, and effective people who are striving to live and work in alignment with their values is both a privilege and a treat. We are all catching an updraft from this special practice crafted by Lorraine.
Lorraine and Practice-Change helped me discover my role as a regenerative digital marketer. The comradery between the fellow changers was the pièce de résistance. Even on days that felt particularly bleak ahead of the call, I felt more clear on what I needed to do next personally and professionally.

FAQs
Is this for me?
Maybe. If you can see what’s not working, but are churning in your efforts to create positive change, this may help.
Practice-Change is for people who are:
- ready to show up consistently
- open to learning new skills
- prepared to invest in a life-affirming career shift
If that sounds like you, then yes, it’s for you.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
In an average week you can expect to dedicate between 1.5 and 2 hours to Practice-Change. More specifically:
- One-hour weekly group calls Mondays at 10:30ET — these are highly participatory and where we practice.
- 15 - 30 minutes to update your tracker, share your change with the community, and connect with your peers.
- One-hour speaker presentations twice / month. You're encouraged to attend live, and you can also view the recordings.
What if I’m not sure about the change I’m working on?
This program helps you get clear on what to change now, and how to make it come true.
There’s no “right” level of change. From global issues to hyper-local programs, from large group efforts to the specifics of your work, there’s plenty of change to go around.
Our work is always evolving, as new challenges and change opportunities emerge. The Practice-Change approach will serve you long after you complete the program.
What does the 12-week schedule look like?
Here’s an overview of the live calls and conversations you’ll want in your calendar. In between, you’ll work at your own pace with the learning modules, share your weekly changes and use your accountability tracker in the online community.
How is this different from other programs or coaching?
There are great programs that explore regenerative futures, sustainable business and systems change.
And there are great coaches and programs that help you change your own life and work.
Practice-Change brings these together.
You identify a change you want to make through your work, then use a simple weekly practice to actually make it — with tools, accountability and a community alongside you.
This is about putting change into practice through the work you do every day — and aligning that work to truly serve life.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes! If you join, engage with the onboarding, try the method for a couple of weeks, and genuinely feel it isn’t delivering value, you can request a refund within 15 days of enrollment.
You can read the full refund policy here.
I'm still unsure, can I talk to someone?
Absolutely! If you think Practice-Change might be for you but you still have questions, set up a introductory call with Lorraine.
I’d be glad to learn more about your goals and challenges to see if Practice-Change is a good fit.

After decades working alongside leaders and teams trying to do the right thing, I saw a clear pattern: regular sustainability and ESG efforts aren’t working.
What’s needed is a shift in how we work, and what we choose to change.
Practice-Change is a method I use myself to keep moving towards a life-serving economy. I share it to help others act with clarity, courage, and accountability.
