YOU ARE THE ONE
Hi, I'm Hedley
The Short Version
I’m an author, qualified life coach on YouTube specialising in the Law of Assumption. Ultimately, I’m a storyteller (as we all are) and I’ve found that by becoming a better storyteller within my life, I've become better creator. Meaning, I am able to consciously create more of what I do want and less of what I don't. And I absolutely love helping people to do the same in their lives through my channel, books, courses and coaching sessions.
The Long Version
Long before starting my YouTube Channel, I was a writer. I've been writing ever since I could pick up a pencil. It began with poetry and when I was ten years old, I - well my parents - published my first book which was creatively titled, Poems of A Ten Year Old.
This led to a lifelong dream of becoming an actual published author which I achieved in 2012 with my first book, Real, Raw & Original: An Authentic Approach to Public Speaking (born from overcoming a paralysing fear of public speaking).
I went on to publish several more books including three memoirs, Finding Paris, Meet Me In Milan and Write Way Home: Writing My Way Back To A Meaningful Life. In 2023, I published my first Law of Assumption book, I AM Money: Assume A New Story & Enjoy More Money.
Alongside my writing career, I was a corporate trainer and coach specialising in communication and public speaking skills. This was more of an accidental career. After doing numerous public speaking courses in a bid to overcome my paralysing fear of it, someone asked if I would be interested in running the course. I reluctantly said yes and spent the next 10 years coaching and training managers and executives to become more confident and effective presenters.
In early 2021, after 20+ years of working and writing, I took a much needed break to figure out what I wanted to do next. Having always loved our elders and with an interest in the End of Life space, I became a qualified Support Worker and got a job in Aged Care. The plan was to start a business helping people prepare their end of life paperwork.
But then I rediscovered the teachings of Neville Goddard and after experiencing incredible results in my own life, I realised I wanted to help people live their best life now rather than prepare for the end of it. This reignited my passion for teaching and I began posting videos on YouTube. My channel grew quickly as did the requests for coaching. I dusted off my Life Coaching qualification and got to work. And it's been the greatest, most rewarding work I've ever done.
These days I live a wonderfully simple life on NSW's North Coast in my beautiful home with my dog, Dora. We start the day with a walk/run along the beach followed by coffee (for me, not Dora) and breakfast on the deck. On my client days, I get to meet and work with the most wonderful people from all over the world, while on other days I might be making videos, reading or taking a nap. No matter what I am doing, I have never felt more on purpose and in love with my life.
And it's all thanks to the Law of Assumption and the gift of knowing how to tell much better stories!
