  • “Working for a biotech company we are always under pressure to get results  faster.  As we scaled out our team I used the Enneagram tool  for insights about how I respond to pressure and also about my team’s strengths and weaknesses.  It helped me identify development areas quickly and take into account individual styles and preferences. I learned a lot from my coaching with Hoyes Global Leadership.  I have become a more authentic leader as a result.”

    Fiona Fitzgerald, Global Commercial Leader

    (Cytiva USA/Canada)

  • “Hoyes Global Leadership was instrumental in helping me understand my professional and personal goals and what I needed to do to achieve them. Their coaching helped me hold myself accountable and make course corrections as needed, leading to greater success. I can say that my journey with HGL has been pleasurable with a high ROI for myself and my organization. As my career has progressed, I have used the techniques I learned from them repeatedly and I will continue to use their services. I would recommend them to anyone at every stage of life and/ or professional success.”

  • "Vanessa is an insightful, caring, motivating and wise coach. Im so thankful for the opportunity to have someone with faith & skill to walk alongside me for a season. It has been an invaluable time of growth for me"

    Kathleen, Teacher, QLD Australia

  • "I want to encourage leaders to invite Andrew and Vanessa Hoyes of Hoyes Global to coach, consult and help you build dynamic teams, culture and leadership. These things don’t happen by accident. Every wise leader knows they need not only outside input from gifted coaches and leaders but a discerning ear to help you navigate the myriad of complex decision making processes and strategy required to build a healthy team and organisation that fulfils it’s mission. I have known Andrew and Vanessa for decades and have worked closely with Andrew in particular and have been inspired by both of their visionary and strategic leadership capacities. They have led various church and business organisations around the world raising up numerous teams and leaders to grow significant ministries. Their educational backgrounds, on the ground experience and their coaching training make them ideal coaches and trainers to help you grow your leadership and teams. Don’t struggle by yourself. Be wise and get the support, training and encouragement you need to fulfil your leadership and mission calling"

  • "Vanessa has an incredible gift of establishing trust and encouraging you to step into the purpose and gift on your life. Vanessas coaching has been instrumental in guiding me in finding my personal values and effective ways to work in personal wholeness. Through this time of coaching, it has enabled me to make clear decisions regarding my future, and work with my gifting's with confidence and strength"

    Leadership Coaching Client, Australia

  • "Vanessa provided a series of coaching sessions for me as I contemplated making a really large life change to retirement. The way I work is that I wanted to create a "plan" on how I would achieve this. Vanessa assisted me initially to understand that rest was an important part of my journey (something that I did not do well, if at all) and that I needed to invest in it to journey the path well. Vanessa stepped me through the process of carving out that time and her explanation of how to accomplish this has been one of the biggest benefits for me from my coaching sessions. The other benefit from Vanessa's coaching, which exceeded my expectation, was that she helped me to understand that I needed to explore the mental barriers that were preventing me from moving forward towards retirement. I would recommend Vanessa's coaching to one and all"
