About me

I take my work very seriously, but not myself too much. It's important to find balance in life, and you're the only one who knows what that looks like to you.

I aspire to be well-educated and well-experienced in my field. This all comes down to my passion and purpose to provide excellent coaching and training.

Benedikte Hayes

WHO AM I?

My name is Benedikte Hayes, and I’m a visionary who sees your potential and wants to empower you to turn it into excellence. I’ve fallen in love with the chase because it’s the journey of the chase we should enjoy in life.

Throughout my career, my main theme and passion has always been working with people. I’ve worked in Human Resource departments, directly with Management and C-level, network groups, consultancies, teaching at a coaching school, and I’ve worked with private individuals I coach and train.

I’m specialized in coaching and training people, and I believe mental and physical health are the most important thing in this world. In today’s society, it’s also what we struggle with the most!

I’m ambitious when it comes to optimizing people’s well-being, and I’m on a mission to support people in chasing their excellence so they can achieve great things for themselves.

In order to do so, you need to focus on both your body and your mind. As a certified Coach and Personal Trainer with a bunch of education and experience, I can train your mind and body to become your biggest advocate and ally in this life – you just need to want it for yourself.

I highly recommend Chasing Excellence with Hayes. She is the most dedicated & professional coach you can wish for, and Hayes will, in a supportive & safe environment, lead you to fulfill your goals. On top, she is fun and great company.

The biggest recommendation from me! You will be met with a highly professional and engaged coach, who knows how to create a safe space and help you with what YOU dream of – but be ready to be challenged (in a good way) in several areas, because Hayes is a great listener and will dig deep with her challenging questions.

At Chasing Excellence, I got a coaching course that I can highly recommend. Hayes is good at asking clear questions and give tasks, as well as using visual tools in the sessions I had. It gave a clear impression of what options I have moving forward. At the same time Hayes creates a safe space with a positive attitude towards the things you want to work on in the conversation.

If you want someone who is truly listening and coach you on exactly what you need, then Hayes is the one to go to. She always makes you smile and creates a safe space where you feel seen and acknowledged.

If you want the best coach, then you should choose Hayes! She’s very professional and an excellent coach who works intense and focused with you. I would highly recommend her because she really knows her field. Only praises from me.

The best coach ever. If you really want a change in your life and you are already reading this? You are in the right place. Chasing Excellence with Hayes is highly recommended, and you get exactly what you need, because the sessions are tailored to your specific needs and wishes.

I’ve had the pleasure at working closely with Hayes and there’s not a human-being I would recommend more. Coach Hayes creates a space that is both fun, safe, honest, different, serious, and supporting. She supports you with no judgement and she works really hard and seriously on her own goals as well, which creates a huge inspiration for those around her....

Hayes is a very present and a skilled coach, who facilitates your own dreams and thoughts in a calm and professional way, so the challenges become feasible and the future brighter. You will, without a doubt, walk out from a session with motivation and calmness from Hayes.

It's been an incredible experience training with Benedikte Hayes. I've learned so much and now, for the first time, I feel comfortable weightlifting, and I've gained a greater fundamental knowledge around it. Now I enter the gym with confidence and that's an amazing feeling - and that's solely credited to Benedikte.
