“I had an amazing experience working with Hayley York. Hayley's ability to understand my goals and provide tailored guidance was exceptional. From our initial consultation, Hayley clearly understood my professional goals and aspirations. Her ability to ask thought-provoking questions and truly listen allowed her to tailor our sessions to my needs. What sets Hayley apart is her genuine passion for helping others succeed in their careers, coupled with her extensive knowledge of various industries. Hayley's coaching style is both uplifting and empowering. She helped me identify and leverage my strengths and provided constructive feedback to address areas of improvement.

"I had the pleasure of working with Hayley through a 3 month time period, when I was actively searching and interviewing for a new role in the professional services and start-up space in the energy industry. After getting to know each other through talking about each of our own careers, interests, and passions, Hayley helped me clarify my own personal brand for the purposes of narrowing the focus of my job search and to position my skills and capabilities accordingly in all forms of resumes, cover letters, social media presence, and interviews. I asked for candid and direct feedback, and she delivered that with productive and actionable insight, drawn from the lens of recruiters, prospective teammates, and managers. She was always very responsive to requests for interview practice, resume reviews, and any questions I had while navigating the new world of recruitment involving A.I., multitudes of interview stages, automated screening, and competing with thousands of other applicants. If anyone is looking for a career coach that is adaptable, insightful, and candid, Hayley is the obvious choice and will set you up for success if you are willing to self-reflect and put in the work." - T.

Initially, when I sought her guidance for career counseling, I harbored a fear of judgment as I took a career gap in my professional journey and chose to be a homemaker. Surprisingly, she alleviated my anxiety and made the entire process very reassuring. Coach Hayley took the time to listen to my story, my concerns, and my apprehensions. She not only assisted me in crafting a more professional resume and enhancing my LinkedIn presence, but she also played a crucial role in helping me overcome my fears.

"I benefited from the six one-hour sessions with Hayley as part of an outplacement program. At the first session, when she shared vignettes of her career and personal life (some not so positive), I was drawn to her openness and inner strength, making me at ease to share about myself. Throughout the sessions, she was attentive and listened without judgment, probed for clarity when needed, and offered alternative perspectives as warranted. In the end, what I valued the most was the freedom Hayley gave me to explore, discover, and land on the essence of who I am and what I bring to the table in my work and personal life." - Minh H.
“I was introduced to Hayley as I was navigating the process of midlife transformation. Everything in my life was transitioning and changing all at once - family, home, relationship, career and health. Hayley helped me find my way through this challenging time by asking me to question what it was that I really wanted and then she helped me devise an action plan that was realistic and specific to the life I wanted to create. Her area of expertise is career coaching but the questions, strategies and support she provided impacted all the areas of my life. Within months, I detected positive improvements that were moving me towards my goals and the happy, peaceful life I desired. My experience with Hayley was truly life changing and I highly recommend her as a coach!” - C. B.

Hayley’s ability to ask thought provoking questions at the right moment and leave space for me to think and reflect allowed me to develop ideas that were simply not possible on my own. Hayley was pivotal in helping develop clarity in the direction I wanted to take, in my career, and the confidence to follow through. Thank-you Hayley for a wonderful, thought-provoking, and enlightening experience!” - J.W.
