From the rolling pastures of Taranaki to the bustling investment scene in Tauranga, Hayley Nelson's tale is one of remarkable transformation and tenacity. As the General Manager for Tauranga at Craig Investment Partners, she's at the helm of a spirited team during an era of significant growth and opportunity. With 27 years under her belt in the region, Hayley has a wealth of anecdotes about the local transformation, her ventures into non-profit work, and the exhilaration of steering the ship at Craig's through their 40th-anniversary celebrations and beyond.

Dive deep into the heart of team dynamics and leadership as Hayley unravels the threads of personal experiences that shape our professional lives. It's a candid look at how travel, early life events, and the values that bind a team together can sculpt a workplace that thrives on respect, understanding, and the collective strength of its members. This conversation is a treasure trove for anyone curious about the art of nurturing talent, the subtleties of recruiting, and the gentle push of intuition in guiding management decisions.

The narrative then shifts to navigating the delicate intricacies of financial advising and the impact of personal growth on career trajectories. Hayley offers an insider's perspective on the evolution from business-centric operations to a people-focused approach, reflecting the shifting landscape of work-life balance and the embrace of innovation. We unpack the creation of the Western Bay Women's Fund, the resonance of community-focused strategies, and the anticipation surrounding Craig's new chapter in their landmark office space. This episode is not just a journey through the milestones of an investment firm but an inspiring reflection on the synergy between financial success and the spirit of giving back.
