Why we are different...

We have a proven track record of providing clear customized assessment, coaching

and training solutions to meet the individual needs of our clients. We offer a dynamic, interactive, engaging, and thought-provoking alternative to “canned” training programs and begin by asking, “What do you want to accomplish?” View some of our partners.


We remove barriers to successful performance. We offer a unique approach to building leadership capacity. At the heart of HLS’s core values is the belief that personal change and professional growth begin with an inward journey... a journey that combines business knowledge with psychological insight. This belief guides the way we serve our clients. We combine our in-depth business experience and knowledge of organizational systems with an equally profound knowledge of individual capability and motivation. We are experts in human and leader behavior!Our clients continue to be amazed at the difference in the performance of their leaders after participating in our unique HLS Decision Reframing Process™  (aka the Balloon Program™ and ReFraming Therapy™)

We are experts. We approach the tasks of assessment, coaching, and training with comprehensive, integrated models and validated instruments that apply directly to the requirements of today's business needs and specifically address the performance issues of our leaders.


All of our HLS Consultants combine a theoretical knowledge base with real in-the-trenches experience to provide a qualified and effective team to move each leader and their organization toward peak performance.

In 1998, Faye Hargrove left higher education and launched Hargrove Leadership Services (HLS).  Originally, the firm focused on coaching and developing executive leaders—primarily in the Atlanta area.  She continued to expand the services to include leadership training, teambuilding, and helping companies to assess and select the right leadership talent.  The firm’s clients have included Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta, BellSouth, ZC Sterling, Emory University, Electrolux, and the Augusta Chapter of the Red Cross.

 

In the past few years HLS has continued to grow and expand the number of staff and the types of services offered—including a program for women transitioning from welfare to the workforce, a leadership training program for area ministry leaders, a program for men transitioning out of prison and the Next Steps Program targeting student discipline in the Richmond County School District.  Faye also continues to maintain her ties to the Academic world as a part time instructor in the Masters in Pubic Administration (MPA) program at Augusta State University

 

Faye received the Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology in 1987 from the University of Georgia. In addition to corporate management positions, she previously served as a faculty member in the School of Business at Georgia College (now Georgia College and State University). She served as head of the School of Business at USC Aiken for several years before moving on to assume the role of Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at Benedict College in Columbia South Carolina.  From there she served as Vice President for Student Development at Bennett College for Women in Greensboro, North Carolina. 

 

Faye is strongly committed to serving her community.  She is currently on the Board of Trustees for the Augusta Museum of History, the Boards of Directors for the Community Foundation of the CSRA, the United Way of the CSRA, Women in Philanthropy and Shiloh Community Center.  She is a member of the Women in Business Committee of the Metro Augusta Chamber of Commerce, the steering Committee for Leadership Columbia County, the Kiwanis Club of Augusta and the Augusta Chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Links, Inc.  Faye is also a volunteer executive coach and trainer for nonprofit organizations and churches in her area.

 

She and her husband, Dr. Clarence Williams, Jr., have two children—Cameron 19 (a sophomore at Hampton University) and Chenille, 25 (an environmental educator). They live in Evans, Georgia.
