discover what’s beneath the surface

I help people and businesses redesign their work around more creativity, adventure and meaning.

About coaching wild

Coaching Wild was set up by me, Lara Hayward, to help people bravely redesign their lives, work and businesses to incorporate more adventure, creativity and meaning.

My approach

Rooted in nature, movement and creativity

Coaching Wild is built on a three key premises. That when we move outside, we often step into new ways of thinking. That human, wildlife and planetary health are interlinked and thriving ecosystems support us all to live, work and feel better. That creativity is an innate human quality.

Finding your own path

In these changing, confusing and uncertain times, what we know about work and life is shifting. We don’t know how things are going to be and can’t predict them. Through walking, connection with water, observation, reflection, and deep conversation, I help you reconnect with your own strengths, values, and possibilities creating a skillset that supports you through uncertainty.

Whether you're navigating change, seeking direction, or redesigning your life, our work creates space for insight, confidence, accountability and purposeful action.
