Coach for Business Owners - Dr Hayley D Quinn

Hello

I’m Dr Hayley D Quinn (She/Her), fellow human, business owner, the anti-burnout business coach, trainer and podcast host. I also happen to be a clinical psychologist with decades of experience in human behaviour.

When I’m not working on my business, meeting with my clients, or exploring topics around compassion, well-being and business, you’ll mainly find me hanging out with my husband either in town or at the beach. I am mum to a gorgeous adult son and spent 13 years as a single mum, during which time I completed my University studies including a PhD.

I understand what it means to work hard, I understand what it means to work too hard and in the wrong way, and I learned the hard way how to create work practices and life habits that are sustainable. Phew! So glad I did!

I know self-care isn’t just bubble baths and spa days but a deep connection with yourself and a daily practice of checking in, so you don’t need to check out of the things that light you up!

I have developed a passion for compassion, the importance of self-care and sustainable work practices from my own decline in health and journey to recovery. I went from ignoring my declining health, to my health giving me a wake-up call and forcing me to look at how I was living and working. I went from working full days as a clinical psychologist, to leaving where I was working and wondering whether I would even be able to continue working. On reflection, this was my burnout talking.

Thankfully, I was able to give myself time and space, listen to my wisdom, make changes in how I take care of myself, and redesign my business structure to one that allowed me to move forward and build a thriving business working at a pace that suits me, my health and the lifestyle I want for myself. I’m living proof you can do it differently!

It’s interesting when we tune in and listen to the stories we tell ourselves, and we all have those stories, you know the ones, the beliefs we hold that just aren’t that helpful. Beliefs that can interfere with how you want to run your business, beliefs that can keep you from living the life you want to be living! Beliefs that convince you that you’re not the amazing businesswoman that you really are!

I have always worked from a human first perspective. I have a passion for working with business owners like you and creating spaces, where we can uplift each other and support each other to build thriving businesses that impact our customers and the world.

We are all human first and I truly believe that when you change the relationship you have with yourself to one that is more compassionate, nurturing, reflective and kind, you can more easily make decisions that support the business you want to grow and the life you want to be living.

Now I’m not saying making these decisions is simply easy, because I know it’s not, sometimes it’s really hard and in my experience despite it having its challenges, it feels so worth it.

I’d love to support and guide you to make the best decisions you can for your business, help you change the way you see yourself in relation to your work and explore with you ways you can create a sustainable business that you love and feel excited about.

I’d love to support you on your path to success, whatever success means for you!!

I was born and raised in the UK and now based in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia, a place I have called home since the mid-90s. I moved here to discover myself (not to sound too cliché!) and it has turned out to be one of the best and bravest things I have ever done. Over the years, I have changed the relationship I have with myself and that has allowed me to design my business and my life in a way that allows it all to thrive.

“Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.”

My Mission

To assist service-based business owners change the way they relate to themselves and their work, through the lens of compassion, so they can engage in more sustainable ways of working, build businesses that thrive and live the full and meaningful loves they desire and deserve!

Working with me is unlike traditional methods of mentoring and coaching that solely focus on sales, revenue and hustle, because I strongly believe that when you thrive your business can too.
