💥 Member spotlight 💥
As an incorporated society, our members are at the heart of everything we do. Today we are shining a spotlight on REALiving Coaching with Tracey Hancock
It’s really easy to have a full life.
There’s work to do, a business to run, people who need something from us, meetings to attend, opportunities that come along and the inevitable things that pop up.
And when you’re capable and used to getting things done, you can fit a lot in. But a full life isn’t necessarily fulfilling.
Tracey Hancock is a Te Awamutu-based life coach who works with business owners, leaders and high-performing professionals who have often created a life that looks successful on paper, but are wondering if it's how they actually want to be living now.
Because when work and business take up more and more space, other things get squeezed out. Health gets less attention, relationships get whatever time is left, and hobbies disappear. The trip you want to take, the idea you want to explore or the thing you’d love to learn gets pushed out to “one day”.
Tracey’s work helps people get clearer about what they actually want, not just from their business or career, but from their life, and then make choices that help them live well.
And it’s not about giving up the work you love, finding the perfect work-life balance or turning your life upside down. It’s about recognising that work is one part of your life and being intentional about what else you want to make room for.
Alongside her one-to-one coaching, Tracey is the creator of the Live Well Life Planner, with the 2027 Planner marking its 10th edition. The Planner helps people step out of default mode, think about what matters and turn those thoughts into plans and action.
She also runs REAL, an ongoing coaching membership centred around regular reflection, planning, practical tools and conversations about creating a life you’re Really Excited About Living.
And living well, for Tracey, also means being involved in the community she lives in. She supports the Waipā Creative Trail, Misty Flicks Film Festival and Labs, and Mathematics for a Lifetime Charitable Trust. For Tracey, these projects give her the opportunity to contribute, connect with people and be involved in things that matter to her.
They also bring together some of the things she values - creativity, connection, learning and creating opportunities for others to succeed.
Ultimately, Tracey’s work is about helping people design their life and live it well. For more info check out www.traceyhancock.com.
