Welcome! I’m Lauren Eyles, an Executive Coach and Mentor dedicated to helping business leaders thrive in today’s complex and ever-changing environment.
I understand the challenges that you face as a leader, as I am a Non Executive Director with senior leadership experience across ports, utilities, health and tourism,
I work with:
Throughout my career, I’ve held executive leadership roles and have been deeply involved in business strategy, stakeholder relations and crisis management. My credentials include an MBA, a Master of Sustainability, an Arts (Communication) degree and qualifications in coaching and change management, ensuring I bring both knowledge and practical insights to our coaching sessions.
I believe that every leader possesses incredible gifts and my role is to help you reach your potential. Using a structured coaching process, guided by the GROW model, we will identify where you are, envision where you want to be, and create actionable steps to get there.
Think of me as a secret strategist and a trusted guide, all in one. You choose the topic, whether it's business strategy, dealing with challenging stakeholders, planning your next career move, or any other professional challenge.
Each session is designed to foster creativity and insight, enabling you to tackle challenges and seize opportunities with a renewed focus and energy.
I’m a trusted guide and a confidential sounding board. I create a safe space where you can share your thoughts and explore new ideas without judgment. My goal is to ensure you feel empowered and supported every step of the way. After each session you receive detailed notes, capturing all the actions we've discussed.
I am passionate about empowering transformational leaders who not only drive business success but also nurture their teams and foster a positive corporate culture. I take pride in advocating for businesses across New South Wales through my board and advisory roles with Business Hunter and Business NSW, and am committed to helping new executives through my podcast, The Female Executive’s Survival Guide.
In this video I talk about what executive coaching is and how I support leaders.
"I highly recommend engaging Lauren to any business or organisation that values staff growth and well-being and is looking for a highly respectful and sincere coach with a person-centred and outcomes focused approach.
Lauren asks insightful, though provoking questions that enables her to build solid rapport, trust and engagement with the staff, whilst maintaining absolute confidentiality on the matters discussed in each session. Lauren’s laser focus on personal growth challenges each individual to think laterally and the coaching session format effectively helps them to delve deep within themselves to find head-space in their busy lives to identify and clarify their unique personal and professional goals. Lauren was also able to recommend useful tools such as DiSC and a values exercise as an extension to the coaching program.
This investment in our staff was great value for money and came in under our training budget for FY 2020/2021. Lauren’s coaching achieved the strategic outcomes we sought, and she reliably delivered all services as contracted. We will continue to engage Lauren in the future."
Jill Whibley, Head of Human Resources for Liquid Telecom Mauritius
"I worked with Lauren and Heartful Coaching for a number of sessions this year. I found that Lauren's approach is designed to get the best outcome for your professional development. She is genuine, provides valuable insights as part of her coaching style and is flexible in the direction of each session. It was wonderful to have her guiding hand as I worked towards my next career step."

"Working with Lauren was an opportunity to remind myself of my strengths and motivators. She really helped me to define goals, to identify any gaps and most importantly, she connected me back to the skills I already have that allow me to achieve those goals. It was helpful in many aspects of my life, both career and personal . We tackled big issues as well as simple techniques to apply. I’d highly recommend Lauren as a coach. Her genuine encouragement, gentle questioning and overall support made such a positive impact on both my mind and to my actions."

‘’Lauren has been an exceptional mentor to me. Her kindness, willingness to share her own experiences and wisdom while listening closely, are all qualities that I’ve learned from. Beyond that, as a mentor she has always tried to help me become a better version of myself. Her constant support has been invaluable. The best part of my mentoring relationship is the fact that I have gained a trustworthy supporter, a confidant, an advocate and an ally. Our conversations helped me grow immensely, both personally and professionally.”

"Working with Lauren was both challenging and comforting at the same time. Each session built on the previous one but the real magic was that all the ideas seemed to come from me! That is a reflection of Lauren’s style and her skill as a coach. I’ve grown in confidence over our time together. Just having dedicated time to focus on the issues I am dealing with, to get them ‘out there’ and to challenge my habitual ways of thinking, was pure gold. I highly recommend coaching – and Lauren in particular!"
