Advisory, Consulting & Coaching
I work with leaders and organisations on complex people matters where judgment, discretion, and clear communication are required.
This includes providing strategic HR and leadership advice, supporting leaders through conflict and change, and navigating sensitive people issues that carry risk for individuals, teams, and organisations.
Areas of Focus
This work is usually tailored and discreet and I am often engaged when situations are nuanced, time-sensitive, or high-stakes.
Strategic HR and leadership advice
Supporting leaders and boards on people-related decisions, governance matters, and organisational risk
Conflict resolution
Helping leaders address and resolve conflict in a way that protects trust, relationships, and organisational integrity.
Change management
Supporting leaders to communicate and lead effectively through periods of uncertainty, transition, or organisational change
Sensitive people issues
Navigating complex performance, behavioural, or relational issues with care, neutrality, and sound judgment.
Coaching
supporting leaders to navigate complex roles, difficult conversations, or periods of increased responsibility
Team Design & Dynamics
Supporting leaders to structure teams by leveraging skillsets and personalities
How I work
My approach is grounded, practical, and deeply human.
I work closely with leaders to understand the context, clarify what’s really at play, and support thoughtful action, balancing empathy with rigour and insight with practical next steps.
The focus is on real situations and durable outcomes, not generic solutions.

Trusted by leaders in high stakes environments
I have worked closely with Hilary over many years and in some of the most complex and sensitive people situations within a large, highly regulated healthcare environment. Her ability to combine deep judgment, discretion, and practical insight is rare."
Hilary is a trusted thought partner in complex people and change situations. She has a unique combination of technical depth, judgment, and steadiness.”
Hilary has a rare combination of technical depth combined with superior stakeholder relationship skills. She led and resolved a number of complex people matters and at the same time put in place industry best practice frameworks. I would recommend Hilary to other organisations who require progressive people leadership and transformation.
