Sally works at the intersection of human resources, organization development, and social justice. Loftis Partners specializes in strategy, people, facilitation, and pay justice. Since launching in August 2020, Sally and her firm have worked with 54 clients across 3 continents. She completed her master's thesis on pay equity in nonprofits. She was published in the Journal for Applied Behavioral Sciences (“Building Trust Through Action Learning in An Uncertain Transorganizational Context”). "I had I kept joking with people that it was a little bit like trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up–but in your forties. I had worked in human resources for 20 years at that point.  “Human resources is a really broad practice area. So part of it was trying to figure out what parts of human resources I wanted to work in. Two things were really helpful in narrowing it down. One is that I had just finished my graduate degree in Organization Development. I was really interested in that field because it is systems change in corporations, nonprofits or government. I had always worked on the strategic end of HR about how the people related to the strategy, so I knew that was a passion. And then I had done my thesis on pay equity, so I knew I had that, too.  “Then the second thing was some great advice I got early on from a friend who said, ‘You should do some volunteer gigs if you can't get paying work immediately. That can help you kind of figure out what you do and don't want to do, and then also can give you some immediate feedback.' Since this was early 2020, the beginning of the pandemic, I was able to do some virtual volunteering. That really helped me in my decision making.”

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we'll share insights, and inspiration to embrace life's shifts. Dr. Candace Hayden's path to becoming a transformational coach and hypnotherapist was forged through profound personal challenges and triumphs. A doctorate in Organization Development and Change in hand, Candace found herself questioning her purpose after graduation. Life responded with trials—her mother's passing, a divorce after 21 years of marriage, and supporting her son through a career-ending injury. In the midst of grief, a chance encounter with a soul coach set her on a new trajectory. Drawn to the world of holistic healing, Candace earned her certification and began to uncover her deeper calling. This marked the beginning of a transformative journey—one that saw her shed over 100 pounds, become a licensed Zumba and Pound instructor, and earn her RTY 200 Yoga license. But transformation wasn't just physical. By 49, Candace realized she was redefining herself entirely—moving beyond roles of daughter, wife, and mother to rediscover the woman within. A breakup, the decline of her father's health, and the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic deepened her resolve. Amid these struggles, she made a powerful choice—to love herself fully and live life on her own terms. In 2021, a sudden and unexplained paralysis from the chest down tested Candace's spirit once more. Facing the possibility of never walking again, she defied the prognosis. Through grit, faith, and the power of hypnotherapy, she regained mobility—eventually walking in a marathon in Greece. Today, Candace's practice, LivinLife Coaching Practice, reflects her unwavering belief that transformation is possible for everyone. Whether guiding clients through hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, or life transitions, she draws from her own experiences to help others overcome adversity and step into their fullest potential. Her motto is simple yet powerful: "Focusing on the whole person – mind, body, spirit, and soul.
