Work With Me

Chantel Hayward | Fox & Fable | Talk to Chantel about leadership, manager development, culture or navigating the people side of growth in your creative business.

Support for the people side of growth.

I bring together leadership coaching and strategic People support, with two ways to work

together depending on what you need:

The Thinking Space

Sometimes you do not need a programme or a long term commitment.

You just need a good conversation with someone outside the day to day.

90 minutes to thinking properly.

Thinking Space is a focused 90 minute session for founders and creative leaders who have something taking up too much headspace and want an experienced thinking partner to help them work through it.

You might bring:

  • A decision you keep going back and forth on

  • A difficult conversation you need to have

  • A manager or team challenge

  • A change in the business you’re trying to navigate

  • Questions about your own leadership

  • A People decision where you’d value an experienced perspective

  • Something that does not feel quite right, even if you cannot put your finger on why

You bring whatever is on your mind. I will bring thoughtful questions, challenge and perspective, alongside practical People experience and advice where it is useful.

We will work out what's really going on, explore your options and get you clearer on what you want to do next.

The Investment

£225 | 90 minutes | Sessions take place online

Book one session, or come back whenever something new comes up.

The Partnership

An experienced thinking partner alongside you as your business grows.

The Partnership is a six month combination of leadership coaching and strategic People advice for founders of small, growing creative businesses.

Over six months, I get to know you, your business and what you are trying to build. Together, we look at what the next stage of growth needs from you as a leader and what it needs from your managers, people and culture.

We might work on:

  • How your own leadership needs to evolve

  • Developing confident, capable managers

  • Creating greater clarity and accountability

  • Culture and ways of working as you grow

  • Trust, communication and team dynamics

  • The difficult People decisions that come with growth

What we focus on will depend on what is happening in your business. That flexibility matters. Growing businesses rarely present their challenges in a convenient order.

What’s included

  • A 90 minute people and culture deep dive

We will look at where the business is heading, what's working and where growth is creating pressure and identify our priorities for the next six months.

  • Six 60-minute Thinking Space sessions

Dedicated monthly space for leadership coaching, strategic People advice and whatever needs your attention at that point.

  • A 90 minute midpoint session

Time to step back from the immediate issues and explore a bigger leadership, People or culture priority in more depth.

  • A final 90 minute Grow Well session

We will look at what has changed, what you have learnt and what the next stage of growth will need from you and your business.

The Investment

£2,800 paid in full or 3 monthly payments of £950 (The Partnership is a six-month commitment. The three monthly payments are simply an option to spread the investment rather than a three-month agreement).

Sessions usually take place online. In person sessions can also be arranged where practical, with additional travel costs.

If something more hands on would be useful alongside The Partnership, such as manager coaching, a team session, workshop or specific People project, we can discuss and scope that separately.
