Specialist coaching for HR leaders
Senior HR leaders sit at the heart of organisations and their executive teams. They’re expected to be culture carriers, strategic partners, and operational anchors, all while navigating complex relationships across the executive team and wider business. It’s a demanding role that requires clarity, courage, and continuous recalibration.
At HEX, we specialise in coaching senior HR leaders to elevate their impact and influence. Whether you’re a CHRO shaping enterprise-wide strategy or driving change in a fast-moving environment, our coaching helps you drive performance, think systemically, and create effective organisations and executive teams.
We believe that when HR leaders thrive, the whole business benefits. That’s why we’re committed to supporting you to lead boldly, connect meaningfully, and drive lasting change.
How we coach
We use our tried and tested CHRO Impact framework®, which forms the foundation of our founder Tom Emery’s bestselling book, People People: Reach your full potential as a CHRO. This framework is designed to help HR leaders unlock their full potential, navigate complexity, and lead with confidence and clarity.
We don’t offer generic advice or off-the-shelf solutions. Instead, we create a space for deep reflection, challenge, and growth, helping you explore your enterprise leadership edge, navigate power and politics, and unlock the full potential of your team and organisation.

Working with Tom, he supported me to clarify my goals and how my thoughts and behaviours were contributing to my success - and where I needed to change."

"Tom and I embarked on a coaching relationship in 2022. I was ‘lonely at the top’ of my company which meant I was sometimes stuck in indecision. Before I knew it Tom had helped me to unpick the blockage, identify the actions I needed to take and refocus my decision making."
