What to expect from coaching
At the heart of becoming Future-Fit is an ‘up-stretch’ in meaning-making, an expansion in how you see yourself, others and the world. Through developmental coaching, we support this inner growth by helping you evolve the way you think, perceive and make meaning, so you can thrive in the complexity of our times.
Every coaching journey is unique. Grounded in vertical development, living systems, regenerative leadership, and adult development psychology, and enriched by insights from ancient wisdom traditions, our coaching supports each client on their own path towards Embodying Future-Fitness.
Our style is less coaching, more guiding – blending traditional coaching with the tools and frameworks of Keys for Future-Fit Leadership.
The journey is not limited to one-to-one conversations. Between sessions, tailored prompts, readings and practices support the work to deepen and take root in everyday life.
We work at the intersection of horizontal and vertical development. Horizontal development is what we come to know — the frameworks and models drawn from the reading. Vertical development transforms how we know — deepening our capacity to hold complexity, tension and uncertainty. It grows through reflection, practice and embodied experience, not through reading alone.
Clients often describe
Moving from endless doing toward a more balanced way of being-and-doing.
Creativity is enhanced as we learn to embrace tension and work with emergence.
Moving from endless achieving toward an outer goal to a deeper inner soulful purposefulness.
Shifting from control-manage to sense-respond — dancing with change rather than bracing against it.
A sense of coming home to ourselves and connecting to others and the natural world.

Enquire about leadership coaching“
I’m clearer about who I am as a leader and more conscious about not being shaped by others’ expectations, urgency or projections. That clarity has sharpened my decision-making and given me greater confidence in holding a position when it matters — even when it’s uncomfortable.
Tracy McNamara
CEO, Foundation for Australia’s Most Endangered Species (FAME) Ltd
Giles is unique in his ability to tune in, and flow between my personal development, that of the leadership team and the organization, and depth of contextual understanding about the world in which we operate.
Gerbrand Haverkamp
Executive Director, World Benchmarking Alliance
I have been most fortunate to have Giles as my coach over the last few years as Chief Executive. His supportive, kind, and engaging style has helped me traverse unprecedented challenges both personally and professionally. Having my back, being there when I needed him, offering his wise counsel and sensing into my past, present and future, wrapped around with his regenerative leadership principles, has been like medicine to me! I can't imagine anyone else doing what he does
Sinead Butters
CEO, Aspire Group
Working with Hayley I am more attuned to my why, shifting from an achiever mindset towards a regenerative approach. I am enjoying the steps in between the wins, placing deeper trust in the ecosystem. This experience has changed how I approach life, not just leadership.
Rachel Lowry
CEO, Bush Heritage Australia
Giles has provided maps, language, practices, and wisdom without directing me towards a particular outcome, helping me notice and take part in what was wanting to emerge through my life. I am deeply grateful for Giles, for the relationship we have formed, and for the intelligence of Life that brought us together.
