Rob Hailey is the co-founder of Career Strategy Partners and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). He brings a rare combination to his coaching practice: three decades leading large, complex operations and hundreds of people at Tulane University, deep formal training and certification as an executive coach, and years in the classroom teaching and mentoring students directly. Clients benefit from a coach who has hired, managed, taught, and developed people at every career stage, and who has personally navigated high-stakes leadership moments, including guiding a division through Hurricane Katrina.

Rob pairs decades of leadership experience with rigorous, credentialed coach training, and is an active leader within the professional coaching community.
●    Professional Certified Coach (PCC), International Coaching Federation (ICF), the ICF’s mid-tier, rigorously assessed credential recognizing advanced coaching training and demonstrated coaching hours.
●    Certified Executive Coach (Level 2), Center for Executive Coaching.
●    Vice President / President-Elect, ICF Gulf Coast Chapter, a leadership role serving and advancing the regional professional coaching community and upholding ICF standards and ethics.
●    Led the development of an internal coaching program at Tulane, integrating ICF-aligned coaching methodology, Clifton Strengths, and inclusive leadership frameworks into university-wide leadership programming.
●    Applies a structured, outcomes-driven coaching model built around three areas: a deep audit and honest valuation of the client’s skills and talents; focused exercises to widen the client’s lens on new and different career options; and building a professional network with intention, including direct introductions when appropriate, all informed by 40+ years of professional relationships.

Rob co-founded Career Strategy Partners alongside Carla Coury, and the partnership is central to how the practice delivers results. Rob’s coaching skill was forged through decades of leading organizations, leading and developing people, and teaching in the classroom, giving him a leader’s eye for what it takes to succeed inside an organization and a coach’s ability to help clients see themselves clearly. Carla brings a different, equally deep expertise: as the former Executive Director of Tulane’s Freeman School of Business Career Management Center, she spent years coaching hundreds of students, MBAs, and emerging leaders into competitive roles and built direct relationships with 500+ employers, giving her firsthand insight into how hiring decisions are actually made. She has also directed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program for the Gulf South region, coaching founders on strategic growth.

Together, Rob and Carla combine leadership and organizational insight with hands-on career-search and employer-relations expertise, a pairing that lets Career Strategy Partners build a customized program around each client rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s this complementary partnership, more than either coach’s individual credentials, that clients point to as the real difference maker.
 

Tulane alumni exploring a career move, whether sharpening a resume, preparing for interviews, or mapping out a bigger career pivot, are welcome to reach out. Learn more or schedule a conversation at careermanagementstrategy.com, or reach Rob directly at robertchailey@gmail.com.
