Leadership Training for Housing Associations
Compassionate leadership training with psychological safety at the centre.
Training leaders and transforming teams across the housing sector
Compassionate Leaders’ Founder, Hayley Gillard, has been delivering leadership coaching, courses, programmes and training for housing associations for over a decade and a half.
With a background and multiple degrees in business and psychology, Hayley supports organisations to create the psychologically safe conditions in which high-performing teams can be built, and helps leaders to lead with confidence, compassion and build teams that thrive.
Hayley’s sector experience
Hayley began her career working in various business development roles for a housing association, and spent 6 years delivering volunteer training, holding staff engagement forums, managing the skills and employment support service, and more in-house.
Leaving the sector and her role as Business Innovations Manager in 2015, she has since forged a reputation as a skilled, empowering and engaging facilitator and trainer. Her coaching and training for housing associations reflects her understanding of industry terminology, the political landscape across housing organisations, and operating conditions.
Hayley understands the pressure organisations like yours are facing around Building Safety to upgrade buildings, refine policies, and protect the residents in your homes, and can help leaders and teams to navigate the related organisational pressures and challenges.
Hayley has developed a track record of delivering coaching, courses, programmes and training for housing associations that help leaders like you to develop your leadership skills, strengthen and transform your team, and maximise engagement, innovation and performance across your department and organisation.
People-first leadership training for housing associations
Hayley has a unique and highly effective approach to creating and delivering leadership training for housing associations.
She weaves valuable psychological safety principles through her coaching, training, courses and programmes to enable you to build the foundations on which high-performing, engaged and collaborative teams can thrive, and help you develop a culture of trust and well-being across your team and wider organisation.
Psychologically safe teams can communicate openly, take risks, innovate, learn from mistakes, trust one another, and collaborate effectively with confidence.
Hayley’s leadership coaching and training for housing associations will help you to develop your leadership skills by looking inward to develop your internal and external self-awareness. You’ll learn how to lead with confidence, compassion, and make and execute difficult business decisions with empathy, humanness and emotional intelligence.
