Ashleigh Hayden, PCC
Leadership & BEHAVIOURAL COACH
On paper, many of my clients are doing exceptionally well. Privately, theyโre exhausted, conflicted, carrying more responsibility than is sustainable, and making decisions from pressure rather than clarity.
My work is grounded in identity, relationship to self and self-trust. Over time, many leaders lose trust in themselves, forget their own limits, and begin living from obligation rather than clarity. I help restore what has been quieted: awareness, permission, and the ability to choose differently. This work is not about optimising or performing better. It is about behavioural recalibration for leaders whose systems have reached capacity.
I work with a small number of clients to ensure depth, privacy, and impact.
“I didn’t realise how much I had normalised until I began working with Ashleigh. As the owner of a small business with a team of three, I did not recognise myself as a leader and I was avoiding difficult conversations with my team and clients. Our work together has allowed me to define my leadership approach, helped me trust myself again and completely changed the way I show up at work and prioritise myself.“

Hexagon Gold Professional Coaching delivers behavioural and leadership coaching for founder-led and family-run businesses where pressure, complexity and responsibility have created unsustainable leadership patterns. By addressing the unspoken patterns and dynamics that shape how leaders think, respond under pressure and influence high-performance cultures – restoring clarity, emotional regulation and defining a more sustainable way of leading.
I work with leaders to recalibrate how they think, respond, communicate and decide โ so they can lead with self-assurance, clear direction and personal authority, rather than obligation or depletion. To achieve this, I offer a limited number of private Reset Days every month for leaders who feel ready to pause, recalibrate and choose a more sustainable way of living and working. These private, in-person experiences are curated for those who know they way they are currently operating is no longer viable.
