As this quote from a senior director in the financial services sector shows, Hayfield’s coaching adds value. To see what other clients say, go to How do our clients grow or contact us.
Established in 2004, Hayfield is owned and led by Jane Thompson. Jane has been working one to one with business leaders since 2003 following a 16 year investment banking career in the City of London. A German and French speaker, she specialised in equity market advice for European institutional investors.
She’s a member of the Association of Coaching and a graduate of the Meyler Campbell Business Coach programme, a programme which holds the EQA conferred by the EMCC.
Under her leadership, Hayfield is a growing, independent coaching business based in London which operates internationally. We work with significant and successful business men and women in FTSE 100 and other household name organisations.
Clients include functional leaders and directors who may be transitioning into a new role, taking a big step up in their business or building a new team.
We also project manage, resource and deliver large and complex organisational coaching programmes.
Our collaborative partnership approach to our work enables clients to benefit from the combined thinking of the whole group in scoping, supporting, delivering and supervising a project.
We work with executives who want to clarify what they stand for as a leader, set the strategic direction for their business and focus on their team and how they can enable them to be high performers.
We help them think through how they can close the gap between their own behaviours and all their natural potential and strengths, making the smallest of sustainable shifts to deliver the greatest results. We enable them to create for themselves the optimal conditions to achieve their goals and sustain the change they want in their lives. Working with their strengths and their preferences, supported by Mindfulness and Thinking Environment approaches, we raise their awareness of how they can transform their leadership.
Clients have access to all Hayfield models and tools. They always work with an experienced and accredited coach, who may draw on MBTI (Step 1 and 2 for individuals and teams), Mindfulness based approaches and The Thinking Environment.
We project manage, resource and deliver large and complex organisational coaching programmes and provide individual and group supervision to coaches and consultants.
We work cohesively and flexibly with clients. Our approach is non directive, grounded in the belief that by creating the conditions which enable clients to do their best thinking, they will see for themselves how they will clear away limiting assumptions and achieve their goals. We build totally confidential and tailored one on one client relationships which typically last for a year.
There are many components which make for a successful coaching relationship, such as:
We believe that our commitment to our continuous professional development is critical to our clients’ successes. We aspire to be at the top of our own game as coaches. Thanks to the cutting edge research in the field of neuroscience, for example, in 2012 we understand much more about how the human mind can help us make changes and decisions which stick. This enables us as coaches to help our clients achieve the sustainable, transformational results they want, which benefits their teams and their businesses.
We are an eclectic group of coaches with a wide range of strengths and expertise from our business and professional backgrounds. We have all made transitions, gaining insights that we now use with others.
Our collaborative approach provides clients with highly experienced and accredited coaches; our interests and activities outside our coaching relationships enhance our working lives. We are all enthusiastic learners through our continuing professional development. We offer individual and group coaching supervision.
