OUR APPROACH
Science-led
We draw on the latest understanding of neuroscience and emotional intelligence to help leaders understand not just what needs to change, but why. By uncovering the unconscious patterns that shape behaviour, we create the foundations for sustainable growth.
Serious process
Change at this stage of leadership doesn’t happen overnight. Quick fixes rarely last. Our work takes place over six to twelve months, creating space for reflection, experimentation, and lasting transformation. It’s a process that respects the weight of your experience — and the reality of how the brain adapts.
Human focus
Leadership is not an abstract concept — it’s lived and felt every day. Our coaching is deeply human, creating a safe, empathetic space where leaders can explore challenges honestly and build the confidence to move forward. This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about becoming more authentic, more resilient, and more effective.
About Hooper Rees
Hooper Rees exists to help leaders make meaningful, lasting change. By the time you’ve reached mid to senior leadership, you’ve built decades of experience and success. But often, what has worked so well up to this point is no longer enough to carry you forward.
The challenges you face now are different. They are less about technical skill or knowledge, and more about self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience. They are not just problems to be solved — they are emotions to be understood, patterns to be reshaped, and new ways of leading to be discovered.
Our approach blends neuroscience with emotional intelligence to create that shift. It is not about short-term fixes or motivational slogans. It is a serious, long-term process — usually over six to twelve months — that allows for reflection, experimentation, and growth.
At its heart, Hooper Rees is about partnership. We create a safe, empathetic space where leaders can explore the challenges they feel but cannot yet fully define, and where new insights can be turned into new behaviours. The work is challenging, but it is also deeply rewarding.
Because real leadership growth doesn’t happen in the quick wins — it happens in the long process of becoming.
ABOUTÂ ME
I founded Hooper Rees to work with leaders who are serious about change. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching senior executives, founders, and leadership teams across industries and around the world. What I’ve learned is that the challenges leaders face are rarely about strategy or technical skill. They are about people — how we relate to others, and how we relate to ourselves.
My approach draws on the latest neuroscience and the development of emotional intelligence. I help leaders uncover the hidden patterns that drive their decisions, shape their relationships, and ultimately define their leadership. This isn’t about quick fixes. Real growth requires time, reflection, and commitment. That’s why my work is long-term, typically over six to twelve months, and deeply personal.
Leaders often come to me at a point of transition — when what got them here won’t get them there. They may feel the pressure of responsibility, the weight of decisions, or a sense that something needs to shift but without knowing exactly how. Together, we create the space to explore those challenges, identify blind spots, and build new ways of leading that are both authentic and sustainable.
At the heart of my work is trust. Coaching only works when both sides are willing to be open, honest, and intentional. I hold that responsibility carefully, and I expect the same from the leaders I work with. The result is a partnership that challenges, supports, and ultimately transforms. Read more about my journey.
