Reimagining leadership with compassion, insight, and hope.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve been driven by a strong sense of hope and a desire for positive change. I move between NGOs and philanthropy, social enterprise and impact investment – bridging the worlds of fund seekers and fund givers.
ABOUT
“Hayley has a myriad of depth and breadth rarely exhibited by coaches. Not only does she draw upon her own hard-won professional experiences in the fields of investment, sustainable business, and philanthropy, she also draws from a range of disciplines - from adult developmental psychology to systems-thinking and regenerative leadership.
This is all backed-up by Hayley's natural gift for creating well-held spaces for her clients while bringing her empathic intuitive insights to bear.”
– GILES HUTCHINS, EXECUTIVE COACH & AUTHOR OF REGENERATIVE LEADERSHIP
“At a time when our planet needs people to work at a systems level, Hayley works in an incredibly important and unique way – connecting people and capital, coaching and supporting changemakers and holding space for people to listen, learn and collaborate.”
– AMANDA MARTIN OAM, FOUNDER AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTMAKERS NETWORK
