Meet Hazel, founder of Ruby Cubes

I started my career in Australia in the late 80’s after having, at a very young age, set up & run a couple of businesses in the UK.

On reflection I fell into Financial Services, initially as a Life Insurance Salesman (they didn’t have a name for females then!).  Some would say that’s the toughest of occupation, however I loved the experience.  The training was amazing and we were taught so much about human behaviour and the ‘psychology of sales’, which was a perfect grounding for any work that involved dealing with people.  It also meant I learned resilience early in my career.

In order to expand my skills and have more to offer clients I then studied Financial Planning and gained my Advanced Diploma – the highest qualification you could get back then when Financial Advising was in its infancy.

Once again, I really enjoyed learning all the ‘soft skills’ and was very successful in attracting and retaining a substantial client base, all of whom were wonderful referrers.

Whilst I appreciated many of the advantages of being Self Employed, when I was approached by a large institution to work for them as a Training and Development Manager, the prospect of regular income and being part of a team really appealed to me.

In this capacity, I had the great privilege of completing:

  • Advance Management Training Studies
  • Analysed Investments Study Programme
  • Associate Financial Planner (AFP)
  • Accredited International Trainer in Communication

Later, I was offered the opportunity of opening the offices in WA for a large national Financial Services Dealership.  These were exciting times as I was given great flexibility to recruit and coach what became an amazing network of people.  I was responsible for training and developing our management team as well as consulting with and business coaching our 120 licensed representatives. During this time, I studied and became a:

  • Train the Trainer Facilitator
  • Business & Personal Coach (through the Institute of Coaching)

I also completed courses to enable me to deliver workshops on creating Values & Culture within organisations.

My journey then took me on the path of working in a similar capacity within the Institutional space, delivering services and products to a network of aligned professionals.  This enabled me to further develop skills in Business Management, Consulting and Mergers and Acquisitions.

I then felt compelled to take all this learning and experience and add to it in the areas that I felt would assist those I worked with to make meaningful, permanent changes in their lives and businesses.

I had always been interested in how the mind-body connection worked and as almost an aside had qualified as Reiki Master, Certified Counsellor and a Certified Consultant in Transition Planning.

Amongst other things that really fascinated and interested me.

This then, through a series of life-changing moments took me on the path of studying the following:

  • Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner (EFT)
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Kinesiology
  • Neuro-Training
  • Forensic Healing

Which ultimately all came together to become Multi-Dimensional Coaching!

Why is all this relevant?  Well, I believe the skills and experience gained across a range of areas have put me in the position of truly understanding clients’ situations in order to be able to best support them.

In saying this, my greatest role model and teacher was, without doubt, my Dad.  His philosophy was ‘Treat everyone fairly, find something you feel passionate about and give it your all.  That way it will never seem like work and you can make every day enjoyable’…

so if you’re looking down Dad, I’m giving it my best shot!

What They’re Saying

“Hazel has an amazing ability to tune into your thoughts, challenge them and guide you through an incredible journey of self awareness. 

So, to anyone considering using Hazels' services as a 'Multidimensional Coach' all I can say is - "what are you waiting for?””

Ken Scott-HamiltonBusiness Owner

“We have worked with Hazel over a number of years and she has been of immense value in a number of ways. Hazel has run some fantastic workshops with our group, provided one on one coaching with our key staff and has been a source of advice as and when we have needed it. We have no hesitation in recommending ruby cubes to others.”

Gary HaslerManaging Director

“Working with Hazel is a complete joy. I have found Hazel's unique approach to self discovery to be so simple, efficient & incredibly effective. After only one session I was able to overcome a life long pattern that held me back from being able to fully embrace with confidence my true potential. After two sessions the view of my life began to change & has since unfolded into the vision I had long held on to but was not living.”

Rebecca Dawson

“For years, Hazel's guidance has so often been the difference between me achieving what I set out to do, or not. Using the various disciplines she applies during our session, she has assisted me to manage my energy, maintain focus on important areas, and remain balanced mentally, physically and spiritually. The role she plays in my wellbeing is unique and irreplaceable.”

Dean Gilkison

“ICU has been amazing for me. It has been groundbreaking and pivotal in allowing me to go forward in my life's journey. I thoroughly enjoy and am excited about each session. I very much appreciate the personal and pleasant approach. I am very grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to others.”

Ray Mangano

“In life we face major events or decision points that will have a bearing on our future and of those we care about; such as changes in career, relationships, death of a loved one and health issues. Over the past years I’ve experienced these and with the coaching Hazel has provided I’ve found strength, guidance and the ability to make change that I never would have felt possible. My health on all levels has never been better, I’m happy and have far deeper relationships with those close to me. I embarked on the world of self-employment and continue to benefit every day from ICU and working with Hazel.”

Steve SmithConsult & Business Owner

“The 4 years as a client of Hazel’s has resulted in my transformation at a deeply personal level with benefits flowing to all aspects of my life and business. In sharing Hazel’s amazing work with my family, my wife and 3 children also choose to become ICU clients. The positive difference this has made in our family is profound. Whilst we are on our own individual journeys, we are growing together at an increased rate largely due to the mutual support of our family unit.”
