If you're a business owner or CEO looking for a business coach in Melbourne, someone to mentor you in practical ways and provide business coaching that will improve your leadership, the performance of your business and the people you manage, then Stuart Hayes is the person you're looking for. In Australia there is no regulation governing the qualifications or conduct of a business coach.
This means anyone can set themselves up as a business coach, and sadly, despite the claims people promoting themselves as business coaches make, in reality very few have relevant qualifications & real world business experience required to coach with the know how of someone whose been there and done that!

Stuart Hayes is a bit of an enigma, one of a select group of people who has trained and worked with elite consulting organisations like KPMG, Andersen and Deloitte; been a business leader and professional CEO in Australia, Asia and the UK; worked in environments as diverse as multinationals, governments, royal families and private companies; and then consciously stepped away from the hustle and bustle to bring his learning, training and experience within reach of everyday businesses and entrepreneurs.
Our guest today is one of Australia's leading event producers, with over 1200 shows in both Australia and overseas for clients including the Australian Football League, Grand Prix, Qantas and Australian Olympic Committee. He has been the recipient of 24 awards from the meeting & events industry association of Australia, including being inducted into the hall of fame in 2 categories.
Look around you. Notice the high performing individuals in sport, business, the arts or any sphere of life you care to name. Chances are 95% of them have employed coaches or mentors to break-through being "average" to become someone exceptional. If you doubt this, listen to some of the podcasts I've done with highly successful people across a broad range of professions, and you'll soon realise how critical good coaching is.
While the aim of coaching is to impart specific skills or to help you become 'who you need to be' to achieve success, the purpose of business mentoring is to guide you through a situation, with the mentor having the benefit of experience: ideally having personally 'been there and done that' many times before.
Are you finding it hard to keep good staff, want higher productivity or worried about how your team will meet critical KPI's or survive under stress? In my vast experience as a CEO "Mr Fix it, " I've parachuted into scores of under-performing businesses with a mandate to turn them around, often under extreme time pressure in circumstances where the business is fighting for it's very survival.

If you're in Melbourne looking for a business coach I can highly recommend Stuart Hayes Leadership. I've been working with Stuart for over 3 years. Stuart is fantastic to work with, he has an extensive knowledge of business and his advice has been invaluable in allowing us to steer our business forward strategically. His insights have helped us stabilise our cash-flow and take advantage of opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have seen.

I have had the privilege of working with Stuart over the last 5 months. He has a great ability to lead and direct you towards your strengths and make complicated issues seem simple. His knowledge and experience is something that I would recommend any business leader to tap into. I a very short period of time I felt he was part of my team and we now work together as peers. Great mentor!

As a facilitator his approach, attention to every participant and active engagement of the wisdom of the group adds immensely to the purpose of the session. Stuart's insight, expertise and experience in heart-based leadership, change processes and facilitation are outstanding.

As a new business owner I have worked with Stuart for about six months, and I am so glad to have his advice and support. Stu has helped me to understand the key areas to focus on, how to improve our website, how to approach potential clients and write proposals that win jobs. Six months ago we were struggling and now we are flying, and Stu has been a massive reason for this. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

"I worked with Stuart while he was taking time out of the corporate world to "give back" much of his knowledge and experience to teach young people leadership skills, drawing from his wealth of experience and inspirational personal energy. Not only did his students shine during this time… but I learned a lot from his style as well!
Since that time, I still meet with Stuart to discuss issues in my own coaching practice and after long and rich conversations, I always come away with many different ways to find a solution and so much more to consider.
Thank you Stuart"

Stuart has, for over 10 years that I have worked with him, a deep passion for matters of leadership. We have shared past experiences including the good, the bad and the ugly that one sees in corporate life. These experiences, these tales from the trenches, grant Stuart the right to speak and train our leaders, and rising leaders, on the realities and requirements of leadership in today's world.
