Hatty Hilton

Helping new C-Suite leaders to make their mark 🔥

About

I am a qualified Transformative Coach, trained by Animas and accredited by the ICF.
 
I hold additional qualifications in Neuroscience and Trauma, as well as two degrees in English. I have worked in top London advertising agencies for 15 years.
I now coach senior leaders who want to arrive in their first C-Suite role feeling:
✅ Structured in their plans
✅ Connected to their authentic selves
✅ Confident about their strategy
✅ Supported in their challenges

I have worked with many C-Suite executives over the years in a variety of capacities:
✅ As a client-facing account lead
✅ As an internal project lead
✅ As a people and culture specialist
This blended experience has created a unique ability to understand and influence business from all angles. 
A decade of service at the world’s most highly awarded advertising agency (adam&eveDDB) has instilled extremely high personal standards and as a result I am:
✅ An agile thinker 
✅ A fearless problem-solver
✅ Deeply emotionally intelligent 
 
My working style is warm, thoughtful and organised and this makes my coaching space feel safe, empathetic and structured.
 
My coaching practice is inclusive and bias-free, with respect for diversity at the heart of every conversation.

Testimonials

I'm not quite sure how I did my job before working with Hatty. She has helped me gain perspective on my role within my agency but also within the industry. I've recently gone through a job transition from ECD to CCO and was able to step up with full confidence in who I am as a leader, with a clear grasp on my personal vision and values. She's not only a sounding board but comes with solutions and suggestions that have proven invaluable. I couldn't recommend Hatty's coaching enough.

- Noel Bunting - Chief Creative Officer - Publicis London

I worked with Hatty as I interviewed for and moved into an interim CEO role. This time together was invaluable. Moving from being a senior manager to a CEO within the same organisation was at times a lonely transition - it meant a lot to have a space to be honest, reflect on what I was finding challenging and gain the tools needed. Hatty is a highly skilled coach and got the measure of me quickly! Through our work, we challenged my assumptions of what I 'should' be like in my new role and allowed me to define success for myself. Hatty's focus was as much on supporting me to identify my strengths and celebrate the wins, as it was on areas I needed to develop in. I would very much recommend working with Hatty!

- Vanessa Greene - Interim CEO - Chance to Shine

We invited Hatty to conduct a comprehensive review of our creative agency comprising a staff survey, 1:1 interviews and full-team coaching. Our vision was complex and ambitious, and we simply couldn't have done it without Hatty's unique blend of cognitive and emotional intelligence, leadership expertise and tireless hard work. I've immediately seen Hatty's impact on our team and our work. She uncovered blind spots, gently surfaced unspoken concerns and created a platform to move forward safely. She's given us a renewed sense of optimism and purpose, and for that I can't thank her enough.

- Louis Lunts - Managing Director - cummins&partnersNYC

Hatty has an extraordinarily powerful leadership ability. She shows consistently good judgement and is able to challenge people and circumstances with an insight and kindness that makes change happen. Her emotional intelligence combines with her training as a coach to make her a fantastic communicator and a brilliant facilitator. I have never been formally coached by Hatty, but I know that I have experienced the benefits of her coaching skills throughout our time in workshops together. I cannot recommend her highly enough: if you ever get the chance to work with her, take it. You'll be very glad you did.

- Rob Alcroft - Founder - Wayforward

When transitioning to a new role overseas, Hatty’s coaching opened my eyes to what was driving me, why I could excel in the role and what my vision was for me and my team. We unlocked these additional thoughts and anchor points with relative ease due to Hatty innate ability to connect with people at a human level. I’d recommend Hatty’s coaching to any senior leader looking to get clear and confident on a challenge.

- Jon Cook - Global Operations Leader - Al-Futtaim Automotive

I consider myself a bit of a cynic when it comes to coaching driven by a bad experience earlier in my career. However, coaching with Hatty has thoroughly removed any remaining doubt about the power of this work to lead to better outcomes. For me, Hatty’s uniqueness is her ability to combine practical application without micro-managing nor taking away the onus from the coachee. On top of that, she digs into the whys and wherefores without being vague or wishy washy. It’s a fine balancing act and Hatty pulls it off to perfection. Most importantly the impact on my day-to-day work has been obvious. Highly recommend.
