Meet your Amazing Mentor
Hi, I'm Kelli Hayes
As a CEO leading teams of 6500 people globally I understood the need to unlock the secrets of the financials to deliver success. I invested in teaching all of my employees to read, interpret and analyse the numbers and to identify the critical levers that improve business outcomes. Together we understood that numbers tell you the story, so when you understand them, you can ask the why behind them and know where to focus your efforts.
This focus led to extraordinary business success. Industry leading employee engagement, retention and long loyal client relationships.
I am a number advocate, not an accountant. I speak your language and bring experiential facilitated learning that is fun, engaging and encourages you to leverage your curiosity.
But it wasn't always this way...
I’ve always known that the numbers mattered. But, early in my career I didn’t know how to find the story they were telling. I didn’t see the messages and I couldn’t articulate the “why” behind the changes I wanted to lead. The magic is in seeing the why. On knowing the questions to ask and the levers to pull to make an impact.
So, I began to lead through the numbers. Because I could see the numbers were trying to tell us something, I could ask my team the right questions to determine where we should be focusing our efforts to move the numbers – the way we wanted them to move.
I created interactive sessions to share how to find the ‘number narrative’ so my team were asking the right questions, being decisive, working proactively and forward thinking about how they could influence results.
I am passionate that people should have access to numbers - to their numbers. Numbers they can read, influence, and learn from. I would love to share it with you.

“This program helped me grow my strategic edge. It’s not just about the numbers—it’s about what you can do with them.”
Sally, Project Manager
“I used to dread financial meetings. Now I ask better questions, drive better results, and feel like I finally belong in the room.”
Clare, General Manager Operations
Let's face the truth
A global study found that in nearly every country, women lag men in financial literacy. That gap limits influence and slows career progression. It’s time to change that.
Because once you learn how to lead through the numbers?
You’ll never sit quietly in a commercial discussion again.
