About me

hayley-lawes

I am a certified professional coach, passionate about working with organisations and individuals to achieve fulfilling, powerful change.

My background

Ever since childhood, I have been interested in how people connect, what drives them and what holds them back. In my career to date, I have been inspired by those around me, always curious about strengths and passions and feeling compelled to help people push past the inevitable barriers that we face in our lives. My experience has been that often small tweaks in mindset alongside practice can produce lasting transformational change and it’s that magic that I am working to spread.

Before my coach training I worked in client delivery at Director level in the Digital Sector. Working in this exciting, fast-paced, ever changing environment with continual inputs, I learnt a lot about how to deliver, have fun, contribute at the highest level… and stay sane.

I then went through the earth moving experience of becoming a parent and suddenly the world looked very different. New challenge, new experience, new skills, new desires. I wholeheartedly believe that it is possible to create a life and career that honours everything that is important to us and that provides the balance we need to live a fulfilled life.

I live in Brighton with my husband and two small children who are a source of constant inspiration to me.
