HR Coach for Leaders

When I started working with Hayley, I was feeling lost and unsure of my future and what I wanted in my life and I felt I needed some guidance to reevaluate where I was at. I had never worked with a coach before so I felt excited, nervous and hopeful - I knew the journey was going to be positive and worth it. At the end of our first session, I knew having a coach was finally going to give me the opportunity to be able to wholeheartedly invest the time in myself and commit to what I had been wanting to work through for a while. The relationship I now have with myself is probably the one that I have noticed the biggest shift in. I now feel lighter as a person as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders - the experience was life changing for me. The learnings I had throughout the 12 weeks were so powerful for me and something I’ll hold on to. I can’t thank Hayley enough for taking the time to help me on this journey! In every session Hayley was always so present and positive and allowed me to be completely vulnerable and open. Hayley has a warm and encouraging manner which helped me to look deeper in myself than I ever have before and I can’t thank her enough for allowing me to do so with no judgement. The advice, guidance, patience and love Hayley gave will be something I will carry with me always.

I had quit my job of 10 years with no plans for what was next. I really needed time to recharge, relax and revitalize my soul before even thinking about what was next. I was excited about the prospect of change and creating something new in my life. I wanted to create more love and joy in my life and live more confidently. I wanted to reignite and nourish my soul and passion for life. Hayley was someone who I could talk honestly with. I also felt a huge sense of trust and calm and the conversation was easy, I just had to feel into my life and be really present with myself and open to limitless possibilities. As someone who constantly looks at my mistakes, weaknesses and areas of improvement; taking the time to reflect on my strengths, values and what is important to me has really had a huge impact on the direction my life is now taking. I really felt comfortable doing this with Hayley who was a huge support with her extremely grounded, calm and reassuring presence. I feel so much more confident now and the trust I have in myself has improved and friends have noticed this confidence, sense of direction, energy, enthusiasm and passion and I now feel like I am more authentic in my relationships. This coaching series with you, Hayley, has made me realise that having a coach is a non-negotiable for the accountability and the offering of a different perspective and loving support.

I recently experienced a 1:1 coaching series with Hayley and at the beginning I was feeling pretty negative about myself and where I was heading in the future. I realised that I needed to make changes by having someone who could support me through the process and hold me accountable. A coaching series was exactly what I needed, I felt excited and motivated because I knew I would be setting concrete goals and actions, with accountability. After the first session, I was on the verge of discovering some really great opportunities to kick start my life in the right direction. Throughout the series I gained greater self-motivation and self-belief and made positive changes within myself that friends and loved ones recognise. Hayley was encouraging and believed in me and created an amazing space for me to make these positive changes.

I had quit my job and was struggling to compute what it was I wanted to do next. I could not see through the 20 different ideas a day which were overwhelming and hard to comprehend. The best thing I learnt is that I didn’t need to have all the answers then and there, I just needed to be able to tap into what I truly wanted among my millions of ideas and narrow down how to make them work and fit within my daily life. I have transformed from a confused ball of stress to someone who knows what she wants and best of all how to get it. Hayley asks questions that allow you to see the answers for yourself. She creates a space where you don’t feel silly thinking so broad and out there. Her talent is helping you see what it is you want regardless of how far fetched you feel it may be. Through my coaching sessions I have found myself filled with confidence, direction and hope for the future. Getting me to this place of success I currently find myself in, both externally in what I am achieving in work/career and internally within myself. I cannot thank you enough for what you have managed to light and instil inside me through this experience. You were there to commiserate when things were tough and celebrate the wins. You were honest and understanding all at once. I never would have imagined a year ago I would find myself in casual work, about to study to work with animals and engaging in a healthy relationship with food and fitness. It goes to show it’s never too late to make changes, take risks as long as you’re prepared to do the work, to dig for what it is you truly want. I would still be lost if it weren’t for you - so thank you.

I started working with Hayley when I needed to return to the workforce after having been out of it for 7 years. Realising so many things had changed including my loss of confidence I knew I needed added support. With Hayley's support I have been able to build a resume I’m proud of and apply for positions I didn’t think I would be capable of. I really appreciated that Hayley went beyond the basics and really encouraged me to dive deeper into my capabilities as well as what it was I actually wanted from a position and the company I worked for. Her gentle, practical approach was so supportive and as a result of working with her I have just been offered a great opportunity. I highly recommend Hayley as a coach.

Both myself and my husband have owned business’ for a number of years and managed the HR side of things ourselves. However, as the business’ grew, so too did our teams and so too did the HR work that was required. Employing a HR Consultant has been one of the best things we have done. Not only have we received help in the HR area of our business, we have also gained more time to focus on other areas of the business that we have more expertise in. Hayley has been fantastic at helping us work out exactly what our business’ required in terms of HR, and she has efficiently supported us through implementing the changes and updates. Her overall knowledge in the HR space when it comes to small-medium size business has been exceptional and she has been pleasant to communicate and work with. I hope this testimonial encourages those who are thinking about employing a HR Consultant to do so, sooner rather than later, as that is what I wished we had of done.
