About The Windsock Group
Helping leaders navigate complexity with clarity, connection, and purpose.
Why The Windsock Group?
A windsock doesn't control the wind.
It helps us understand the conditions around us.
Leadership works much the same way.
Great leaders don't force outcomes. They cultivate awareness, adapt to changing conditions, and respond with intention.
That's why The Windsock Group exists—to help leaders navigate complexity with clarity, connection, and purpose.
“The greatest gift of my life was a friend who believed in me enough to introduce me to coaching. That experience changed the direction of my life.”
Meet Conrad Hayter
For most of my life, I've been fascinated by one question:
What helps people grow?
That question has taken me on an unexpected journey—from working in my family's nursery, to serving in the U.S. Air Force installing navigation systems around the world, to entrepreneurship, executive leadership, and ultimately coaching leaders and teams.
Along the way, I discovered that leadership isn't about having all the answers or controlling every outcome. It's about cultivating awareness, building meaningful relationships, and creating the conditions where people can thrive.
Today, as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Co-Active Professional Certified Coach (CPCC), faculty member with the Co-Active Training Institute, and entrepreneur, I help leaders navigate complexity with greater clarity, connection, and purpose.
Because when leaders grow, teams grow. And when teams grow, entire communities benefit.

What Leaders Are Saying
“Conrad is a naturally gifted coach, who combines spacious listening, a profound gentleness, and a delightfully playful sense of humor on behalf of his clients.”
What I Believe
Lasting growth begins with awareness, deepens through connection, and becomes real through purposeful action.
Awareness
Notice more. Expand perspective. Create conscious choice.
Connection
Build trust. Deepen relationships. Create belonging.
Purposeful Action
Act with intention. Take meaningful steps. Create lasting impact.
Great leadership isn't learned only in boardrooms.
Some of the lessons that shape my coaching come from military service, entrepreneurship, hiking mountain trails, conversations with friends, and spending time with my family.
Those experiences remind me that leadership isn't separate from life—it grows through it.
