Student Leadership Strategy
at Executive HQ™
Smart leaders start early.
Executive HQ™ partners with CU Boulder students to build the emotional intelligence and strategic tools they’ll need to lead in the real world. We equip the next generation of high performers with the intelligence they’re not learning in school: emotional fluency, self-leadership, and strategic decision-making.
Work With Hayley
For CU students ready to go further, we offer private student leadership coaching designed specifically for your stage of life — without lowering the bar.
Most students work with Hayley Miller, our Student Strategist and a practitioner of the HQ Method™, trained directly by Chloé Miller, MA. Hayley brings a rare blend of therapeutic depth and strategic clarity to help you build confidence, navigate pressure, and lead your own path — even when it’s not linear.
Executive HQ™ is not a mentorship program. It’s where emerging leaders come to work.

Eligibility + Booking Info
We work differently. And that starts with who we serve.
We offer CU students exclusive access to our student leadership strategy sessions. But we’re not a volume-based coaching company, so we keep our client roster small. Every leader gets high-impact, personalized support. That includes students.
Because we operate this way, we verify each CU student’s active status before providing services. This ensures our services are reserved for those truly eligible and ready for the work.
To qualify, in your consult request, please:
Include who you would like to work with: Hayley or Chloé

Then, please prepare these items to share with us:

Proof of current enrollment (a screenshot of your student portal showing your name, ID number, and active class registration)
Once verified, you’ll receive access to:
