About Us

Dabney Hailey, a museum curator with a passion for sharing art’s relevance to contemporary society, launched Hailey Group in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2014. Hailey aimed to bring together two worlds: the transformative experience of looking deeply at great works of art and the development of an equitable learning culture within the workplace.

Renowned museum educator Philip Yenawine was a founding consultant. Over the years, we’ve grown into a team with deep expertise across leadership and team development, adult learning, business, the arts, healthcare, UX/CX, and human-centered design. Most team members work with Hailey Group while pursuing careers in other arenas, keeping our thinking fresh, relevant, and applicable.

Our Values

It’s a thrill to help people wrestle with and revel in the challenge of great art, then supply them with concrete tools to take that subtle thinking and empathic communicating back to their workplaces—and make those skills and mindsets stick.

We are committed to the idea that all voices should and can be heard, valued, and respected. We believe employees should and can be truly, fully engaged and learning as they work.

Everything we do is rooted in research and tested through iteration, evaluation, and application to real work. We teach through modeling and experiential learning, and we meet individuals where they are.
