The Career Coach Professionals of Color Trust
It’s time you felt seen, celebrated and supported at work and in life. I’ve spent my career helping diverse professionals at all levels achieve abundance through intentionality, and I can’t wait to help you release your stress to make space for the joy, ease, and financial abundance you deserve.
But, if you’re looking to jump into interview prep or LinkedIn strategy, I’m gonna ask you to slow your roll. We can work on those things, but only after we dig deeper to uproot what’s been keeping you from your most beautiful, dreamy life. Caus’ “how you gonna win when you ain’t right within?” My action-oriented coaching will help you regain confidence, engage in radical self-love, and reclaim your power to build a live you love.
Transformation that lasts starts from within. Let’s hop on an alignment call so we can both do a vibe check.

"I was able to secure a position that I would characterize as soulfilling. I will be moving to China where I will have an increase of about $36,000 in salary and they’re paying my rent, they’re giving me a flight allowance, and I have ample vacation time. Love to travel. So that’s very important to me, and I’ll have the sort of independence and autonomy that I desire.”

“What Dr. Hayley was really able to do for me was help me to think more abundantly about the opportunities that are out there for me. I was thinking very much in a box - narrowly, and she helped me to widen my view. So then I had an opportunity to really see the possibilities of what was next for me.”
Crystle, executive leader at Nike

“Dr. Hayley helped me find the silver lining I was looking for but didn’t have the clarity to identify. I left with tangible action items that I could confidently execute soon after. I would highly recommend her both to individuals and institutions, and have already started recommending her to friends and colleagues. Needless to say, I am so ecstatic that Dr. Hayley is sharing her gifts with the world - they are much needed!”

We Spend An Estimated 95,840 Hours Working
That’s almost 11 years of nonstop working every minute, of every day.
Soulfilling work isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a life-saving decision. Professionals of color report feeling more stressed and less supported at work, hurting our physical and mental health. And still, you’re walking through fire for an employer who couldn’t care less if you get burned in an organization where you’re undermined and undervalued. This has to stop.
We all reach a point when we say, I’m done fighting with my job and ready to fight for myself. I know I did. Being unhappy at work creeps into your personal life, stealing your best self from the people you care most about.
You deserve to live your best life.
But revising your resume won’t get you the soulfillment you’re dreaming of until you know what you want in your career and what you need to release to unapologetically take charge of your next chapter without repeating the same mistakes.
Our lives change when we decide to change.
You Are Too Talented to Settle.
YOU DESERVE ABUNDANCE, HOWEVER YOU DEFINE IT
Imagine all the obstacles in your way, gone. Sunday scaries will never hide like a monster in your closet again. You’ll have the resources to go from surviving to thriving. And burnout will be a distant memory.
You’ll be seen and celebrated at your job and have the freedom to disconnect from work and live life to the fullest.
My coaching is holistic, helping you get clarity on the life you want and elevating access to the tools to make it happen.
Experience the Full Transformation.
Using my blended expertise in organizational leadership, counseling, DEI, original career development research, and real-life experience as a multiracial Black woman, I’ll help you design a life you love that aligns with your values.
You will live your best life from 9-5, 5-9, and every hour in between.
“Dr. Hayley has been a joy to work with as a colleague & overall dope human.
She has inspired me to advocate for myself, take up space in any room, & speak authentically about things that need change. I have received direct coaching from Dr. Hayley & deeply value her insight. Participating in her program’s inaugural class pushed me to network more intentionally, & within less than 6 months of completing the program, I transitioned into a promotional role at the institution increasing my salary by over $25k."
L.B., Director of Institutional Strategy, Higher Education
1:1 Career Coaching
Reclaim your power as you navigate systems of power — over 4 months of individualized support, resources, and confidence boosts to help you grow as a leader. Let’s break it down, phase by phase:
PHASE 1: DREAMING YOUR VISION
Together, we’ll use the Soulfilling Work Book to help you find clarity on your goals, your vision for soulfillment and what’s getting in the way.
Plus, I’ll help you build a Rolodex of professionals you can lean on in your network, and a brag book of accomplishments to help you negotiate the salary you deserve.
Every session is uniquely customized based on the support you need in that moment.
PHASE 2: DISMANTLING BARRIERS
We’ll dismantle the negative internal beliefs that are keeping you stuck and reframe them so you can embody your inner greatness.
PHASE 3: DESIGNING A STRATEGY & BUILDING HABITS FOR SUCCESS
We’ll establish where you are, where you want to be, and develop the action plan & necessary habits to get you there — so you have more of a voice and confidence at your job. Plus, we’ll analyze any challenges that came up that we can unpack in subsequent sessions.
PHASE 4: DOING – ONGOING EXECUTION & SUPPORT
I’ll be there every step of the way as you secure soulfilling work for yourself. And you’ll keep yourself on top of your action plan with your Accountability Form.
"Before working with Dr. Hayley, I was struggling to understand my own identity & the role it played in my personal career journey.
I felt invisible in the workplace, was stuck in a role that didn’t reflect my abilities, & I didn’t have the tools necessary to advocate for myself or navigate difficult situations. After working with Dr. Hayley over the course of a year, I’m a different person. I now view my identity as a strength & finally feel "seen." I’m empowered to speak up for myself & others, & most important of all, I’m now in a role that better reflects the work I’m capable of doing. For the first time in a long time I have hope, not only for myself, but for others out there who have yet to experience the powerful impact of Dr. Hayley’s work.”
