Compassionate Leadership Development Training

Helping teams thrive, innovate and collaborate.

82% of managers are ‘accidental’ managers. Are You?

Great staff are often promoted based on technical expertise but receive no formal people management training. They’re then expected to manage staff, motivate others and deal with conflict resulting in lack of confidence and avoidance of difficult conversations. It’s our mission to fix that!

If you’re looking to develop your leadership skills, strengthen and transform your team and their ability to lead, and maximise engagement, innovation and performance across your department and organisation, Hayley and her associates can help.

Compassionate Leaders is a consultancy founded and run by one of the leading business psychology specialists in the social housing sector.

Skilled facilitator, Hayley Gillard, supports leaders of departments and organisations with ILM accredited leadership development training, coaching, consulting, courses and programmes.

Hayley helps organisations to create the psychologically safe conditions in which high-performing teams can be built, and provides training and support that enables leaders to become more confident, compassionate, and build remarkable teams that thrive, innovate, and truly collaborate.

As a go-to training consultant for organisations across the social housing sector, Hayley supports CEO’s, Senior Leadership Teams, Heads of Departments and HR/OD Leads, with highly effective leadership development training, for themselves and their managers with compassion at its centre.
