About Changa Bell
Changa Bell serves as a Life Design Consultant at Johns Hopkins University and brings more than 20 years of experience in leadership development, coaching, and human-centered learning. His work integrates lived experience with evidence-informed practice to help people and organizations move from pressure and uncertainty toward clarity, purpose, and sustainable growth.
My Mission
I help individuals, leaders, and organizations gain coherence, clarity, and alignment. I provide system change and tools that teach people how to put values into action, cultivate resilience under pressure, and design their lives and organizations so that they are sustainable, intentional, and whole.
Transformation begins within; it is human-centered, and it does not end there. When people lead themselves well, the impact ripples outward—into families, institutions, and the world they influence.
My Approach
I work with individuals, leaders, and institutions who are navigating complexity, transition, pressure, or misalignment, and who are ready to respond with intention rather than reactivity.
I integrate evidence-based coaching, contemplative practice, and leadership development tools to support whole-person and team change. This means I don’t just talk about insight, I help you build the internal capacity to act, and consistently usher it into being.
Over the past two decades, my work has supported people and organizations across life stages and systems — from high-performing scholars and emerging leaders to C-suite executives.
Because organizations are expressions of the people within them, my work focuses on building systems rooted in core values, strengthened by resilience, and led with intention rather than urgency.
The result is not motivation, but coherence: clearer choices, steadier leadership, and lives designed with purpose.
My Frameworks
My work is grounded in the Inner-Being™ framework and expressed through a set of proprietary, and research-informed models:
LifeForce Development™
A structured pathway to personal mastery, integrating the 4 Pathways and Inner-Being Model.
HERD™
A 10-week immersive program for building holistic empowerment and resilience.
Autonomous Leadership™
A leadership evolution model for values-based decision-making and authentic influence.
SIEAF/SIEF Methodology
A coaching process that ensures clarity, accountability, and measurable progress.
Performance Measures
Tools to track growth and outcomes at every stage.
My Journey
My journey began in personal wellness, grew to community health, and evolved into leading leadership development at the institutional and organizational levels.
Throughout my journey, one thing has remained constant: my unrelenting belief in human potential.
My work is not shaped by theory and pedagogy alone. It is shaped by lived experience—in transformation, health, mindfulness, and leadership. These experiences inform every program, conversation, and space I facilitate.
Combined with decades of formal training and facilitation, this grounding allows me to meet people where they are, and support them in moving forward with intention, integrity, and purpose.
