Types Of Coaching Available To You
Executive Coaching
Leaders face unique situations that challenge their interaction with senior management and board members. These leaders often have no one to turn to with whom they can counsel and brainstorm. The executive coach fills that void.
Leaders may be shortsighted by only turning to a spouse, trusted friends or business colleagues in other fields to discuss pertinent organisational challenges. In doing so, a leader can risk misunderstandings, information leaks, or blanket agreement with his/her view that can result in non-productive feedback and action. These close relationships may not provide unbiased and objective responses to the executive’s views.
In order to succeed, today’s leaders must build effective, sustainable business relationships. Developing good relationships takes time and insight: time to understand people’s personalities and needs and insight to understand other people’s reactions.
Executive coaching fine-tunes behavioural skills to enable effective communication and confidence.
As there is always room for improvement, Hanna Consulting Executive Coaching identifies a leader’s current strengths and focuses on leveraging those attributes to help each client achieve his or her leadership potential.
New Leaders & High Potential Coaching
This coaching is the guidance given to future leaders and people who take on stretch assignments. If you have been identified as a “high potential” in your organisation, you probably have many questions. What is required of me? How am I supposed to act? How do I begin my new role and tackle my new responsibilities?
If you are a new leader, you may be facing role strain and need guidance in managing the psychological toll of having shifted from a star individual performer to a people manager.
An executive coach provides you with real-time feedback, guidance, and support that will enable you to sharpen your skills and set you on a path to success. Your executive coach is your advocate. He/she will support your vision and help you blend it with the objectives of your organisation.
Your executive coach is the objective third party to whom you can turn when you want to float an idea, consult when you have a difficult decision to make, or share the burdens of the day that you cannot share with your managers, peers, or staff.

What our clients have to say
Ken
APAC Regional Director
Global Growth Funding
Since engaging Peter to support my professional development in a leadership position, I’ve significantly increased my ability to assess and reframe challenging situations.
Working with Peter has helped me to develop tools and habits to become more aware of opportunities to collaborate, build meaningful relationships and become a better leader.
I use Peter's concepts every single day.
I would recommend Peter for his diligence and ability to dig deeper into the core areas of personal development.
Samantha
Specialist Doctor
Very helpful sessions which really progressed my current way of thinking to that with controlled emotion, with valuable communication strategies, and enhanced feelings of situational control.
The sessions were also appropriately tailored to suit my challenges and needs for that particular week which was important in me overcoming specific barriers in my progress.
This insight by Peter made the experience incredibly more valuable for me.
Overall an incredible experience which helped me attain a major career success. Looking forward to seeing what more I can achieve with Peter's guidance.
Alan
Tech Startup Founder
Peter has significantly helped me and my co-founders on both an individual level and also executive team level.
Peter has a natural ability to identify patterns in spoken language and use that as clues to drive deeper into meaningful insights. Together with tools and exercises, he has helped me personally to identify simple ideas and techniques to put thoughts and feelings in context, while also helping me share my views of impacts and priorities to others in an effective way.
From a team perspective he has group coached my co-founders and me on the journey we are going through from a "normal" job to driving a startup, while giving us a clear view of individual values, how they contribute to our organisational values, and setting personal goals for us to get to where we want to be.
I would highly recommend Peter to anyone else, both on an individual level or as a group coaching session.
Lana
Senior Executive

Coaching had been on my “to do” list for a while, but I had put it off as I was doing ok.
When I really hit a low-point I finally got around to it. Don’t I wish I had got around to it earlier!
Through coaching with Peter I was able to work through and let go of the areas that were holding me back and better explore where I wanted to go.
A very positive and building experience tailored to my situation and needs.
Many thanks – I really feel equipped to take on the world now!
Olivia
Managing Director
Consulting Services
What an experience, Peter is incredible.
What blew me away was how through the process we were able to identify the underlining beliefs I had that prevented me from having the courage to build stronger relationships.
Peter helped me identify what I wanted so that by the end of my coaching program I had complete clarity on what it was that I was looking for.
Peter is incredibly dedicated and he genuinely wants to help. Thank you, Peter, with deepest gratitude.
Adrian
Senior Director
Financial Services
When I first met Peter for coaching I was uncertain about my priorities and struggling to establish balance. Peter immediately helped me to identify this was an internal issue that needed to be addressed and not just skills based as I’d been trying.
Since that first session I've had a really amazing, ongoing coaching experience with Peter. I was immediately attracted to work with him given his judgement-free and calm approach plus his clear in-depth knowledge.
I have greater clarity in what I want and the tools to help me get there. Thanks Peter.
Evan
Senior BDM
Fast growing global SaaS firm
I was very happy with the experience.
I came to Peter for a specific problem, and Peter was able to successfully solve the problem.
The process required me to be open minded and also improved my day to day focus and discipline. I was able to build systems in my own life and have better control throughout my thought processes to improve my life.
Peter was also a great guy to work with and I looked forward to our weekly sessions.
I would highly recommend Peter to anyone interested in coaching.
Liam
Managing Director
Healthcare
It was great being coached by Peter.
Before seeing Peter, I felt stuck and something was stopping me from moving forward. Almost as if I was surrounded by an invisible brick wall.
He really helped me to unlock thought processes that were keeping me stuck and preventing me from taking my business to the next level.
Through Peter’s coaching methods I was able to understand more about myself and what I really wanted.
This was the clarity I’d been searching for and Peter was able to ask all the right questions to help me get there.

A Note From Our Founder
Hi, I’m Peter Hanna.
I'm a husband, father of 4, business owner, board member, mentor, certified master coach and trainer, as well as a qualified engineer.
After 20 years of corporate experience at senior management levels experiencing the highs and lows, plus incredible lessons from building my own business… I found myself at a crossroads. I was working hard towards building a life that from the outside appeared to deliver all the trappings of success.. promotions, high salary, material success, but I still felt like something was missing.
I began a journey of deep discovery to learn more about how humans think, feel and act. I’m keenly interested in why we do the things we do. What drives our motivations, our behaviours, and the impact that language (our self-talk) has on us.
After spending years and investing tens of thousands of dollars in my own development and learning, I am now a qualified Master Coach and Trainer and help senior and executive level professionals to live a better holistic life.
I believe that there is no ‘work you’ and ‘real you', the person that comes out on the weekends. There is just you everywhere. And it's my mission to help you live a better life which in turn means a better life for your family, friends, and co-workers.
If you want to discover the benefits of executive coaching, then book a 15-minute chat with me now.
I look forward to talking with you.
Meet Peter
Founder and Principal Executive Coach
My personal drive is to support leaders to improve their impact and results by developing themselves first, and I founded Hanna Consulting for this reason.
I coach and train leaders with a holistic focus on performance and wellbeing.
I've helped executives and ambitious senior professionals at AWS, Eftpos Australia, Acciona Australia, Flinders University, PACCOA, Equinix, Earthworx, ANZ Bank and more with their own self development (both personal and professional) and am humbled with NPS scores over 90%.
I've also delivered leadership training for audiences with over 50 attendees achieving NPS scores over 85% and guest lectured at universities including Flinders and UTS for both staff and students.
I’ve enjoyed almost 20 years of experience in the corporate sector with highlights such as leading a national technical sales team for an organisation of $5B market cap, delivering deals for accounts worth $50M per annum, and purchasing and negotiating on behalf of a fast growing start up supporting some of the largest government and enterprise customers in Australia.
I’ve been the buyer, the seller, and the leader.
I’ve seen how different priorities across different parts of a business shape its leadership style and the effect that has between different parts of the organisation.
More recently I have developed my own knowledge and understanding by learning about the human psyche and the way in which human behaviour and communication reveals what’s going on beneath the surface.
I combine this with my consulting background to help leaders resolve matters related to personal challenges (stress, overwhelm, burnout, anxiety), interpersonal challenges, and the buy-sell relationship.
With my specialised skills and experience in human communication and behaviour I can help you to increase your leadership presence and move forward faster.
