How we help HR leaders and teams win
HR Hub
You carry a lot on your shoulders. You are responsible for a lot. It is relentless.
We understand the reality of your role - and partner with you to deliver measurable impact.
As you know, the role of HR leaders and professionals has drastically evolved in recent years. You are not just the policy writers or the training organisers - you are the cultural architects, the strategic advisors, the voices of inclusion and often, the ones expected to find solutions when things go wrong.
Others want you to:
✔️ Drive inclusive culture change
✔️ Deliver high-impact initiatives
✔️ Balance long-term strategy with immediate execution
✔️ And make it all look effortless!
But here is the truth: it's far from being easy. And you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
At High Fifteen, we understand the complexity of your role. We have supported multiple HR teams over the years and we are here to help you excel in your role. Whether it’s co-creating strategies, delivering dynamic training, or helping you navigate the tough stuff, we are your trusted partner in making real lasting impact.
Why? Because when you thrive, your organisation thrives. And we care about both 😁.
Strategic ways we support HR leaders and teams.
✔ Inclusive culture & people strategy
Culture becomes a performance driver when expectations, behaviours and leadership alignment are clear. We help you:
We co-create inclusive people strategies aligned with your organisational goals
We design values, behaviours and inclusive frameworks that actually land with current and future employees
We audit current culture and inclusion efforts with data-led insights
We create high-impact action plans that win buy-in from the top
✅ Ideal for HRDs + People & Culture Leads + Talent acquisition leads
“I absolutely love collaborating with Vanessa, who has been instrumental in the creation of our DEIB strategy for us. As Talent Lead, Vanessa helped myself and the other talent leadership team members to develop a set of inclusive hiring principles around “Who we hire” and “How we hire”. Clarifying these principles is expected to have a significant impact on how talent aligns with hiring managers, bringing a more considered approach to hiring processes and pipelines where fairness, diversity and equity are promoted and biases are removed. I very much look forward to working with Vanessa into the future 😃.”
✔ Training, workshops & keynotes
Leadership learning that drives behaviour change - not just awareness.
We facilitate interactive and energising workshops that inspire action - from execs to entry-level
We custom design sessions across key themes: inclusive leadership, conflict management, psychological safety, effective feedback and more
We provide keynotes that mix energy, storytelling and strategy - great for away days, events and leadership programmes
All sessions can be designed for in-person or remote delivery

“Having seen Vanessa speak at a conference I was impressed by her enthusiasm and passion. At Refuge we are committed to being a workplace in which everyone is respected and feels like they can be their true selves. Vanessa provided our staff with a thought-provoking talk at one of our monthly all staff meetings which contributed to further commitment from staff to improving equality, diversity and inclusion within our charity.”
✔ Employee engagement & voice
Employee voice becomes powerful when insight leads to action.
We design and run employee listening sessions and focus groups with underrepresented teams
We analyse insights and create clear recommendations for leadership
We help you build trust, transparency and action from the inside out
✅ Perfect for HR teams who want to build safety + alignment at all levels.
“Working with Vanessa has been a truly enriching experience. She brings not only deep expertise but also a remarkable ability to connect with teams in a meaningful way. Her preparation and dedication to understanding the specific context in which each team operates make a real difference. In our session, her empathetic approach and tailored insights helped us navigate key challenges, particularly in the area of diversity and inclusion. She creates a space where people feel heard and supported, ensuring that every conversation leads to actionable outcomes.”

“Vanessa’s executive coaching was a game-changer for me during our time together in a local charity. Her energy and insightful approach helped me navigate complex leadership challenges, refine my strategic thinking and build my confidence in decision-making and bringing my authentic self into my leadership style and role. She created a space for honest reflection and practical action in our sessions, ensuring that each session was both thought-provoking and challenging (in a good way). Vanessa’s ability to offer alternative perspectives while also offering support made a real difference to my professional growth. I highly recommend her executive coaching to any leader looking to develop their skills and lead with greater clarity, authenticity and purpose.”
