Services
We work across three levels of transformation: self (the leader’s inner journey), system (the organisational and stakeholder context), and strategy (the socio-economic system in need of transformation). Our work is informed by a number of well-researched developmental and change frameworks, including the thought leadership of Giles Hutchins, encompassed in his book Keys for Future-Fit Leadership .
“Future-fit Leadership draws on insight from living-systems and seeks life-affirming futures - working toward harmony with the evolutionary dynamics of nature to enable our future generations, and all life on Earth, to thrive”
Coaching Journeys
Developmental coaching is a form of coaching focused on helping people grow in their way of thinking, perceiving, and making meaning of their experiences, rather than just solving immediate problems or improving skills. It’s about evolving the person’s capacity to handle complexity, uncertainty, and challenges more effectively.
This is otherwise known as vertical development - essentially, helping adults grow and evolve. Vertical development shapes how we think and operate, whereas horizontal development focuses on acquiring new skills for what we do. This inner growth is at the heart of the journey towards Future-Fitness.
“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.”
“Giles is unique in his ability to tune in, and flow between my personal development, that of the leadership team and the organization, and depth of contextual understanding about the world in which we operate. Conversations and advice are never about one dimension but always systemic.”
Nature Immersions
Nature immersions are unparalleled in terms of the depth of self-reflection, embodied experience, and the integrated awareness necessary for the shift towards Future-Fitness. There is now a wealth of scientific evidence showing how being in nature significantly improves our empathy, our ability to reason, and our capacity to deal with change, listen more effectively to others, tune into our own challenges, and embrace complexity.
Nature Immersions can range from a day in the woods to multi-day sessions that include overnight solos. When liminal immersive experiences are shared with other leaders from diverse organizations, or team members from the same organization, a potent collective process of individuation can occur. Through dialogue in nature, deep listening, feeding back and aiding each other’s development by vulnerably sharing while working through tension and conflict, we start to see our own unconscious aspects and those of the organization and wider stakeholder systems more clearly.
We curate bespoke nature immersions, from Springwood Farm in the ancient High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (West Sussex, UK), to glamping on the Mornington Peninsula at a regenerative farm, and luxury lodges across Australia through Morris Escape’s diverse Queensland resort portfolio.
We also run open group immersions. If you would like to be kept up to date with upcoming dates, please contact us or add your email address in the box at the bottom of the page.
“I have worked with many facilitators and coaches over the years at major ASX companies and Hayley is a standout. Her preparation, personal style and adaptability meant our diverse groups needs were met with clear outcomes. She really knew how to get the best out of us all by holding space in all the right places.”
“Giles’s Leadership Immersions have been a game-changer. He’s an invaluable moderator and mentor for our Leadership Team, continually looking for inspiration and insight to drive our mission ever better – great insight, clarity and energy every time we work with Giles”
