Haraya Coaching’s vision is anchored on partnership and co-creation.  At the core of our purpose is partnering with teams and individuals to discover and explore their potential, then transform and become what used to only be imagined.  We acknowledge that individuals are works-in-progress, and organizations are constantly reshaping and adapting in order to achieve high performance.  At the heart of our vision is Coaching; Coaching to help people reach who they want to be… to Be Your Imaginable.

Having built over 90 business customers and close to 600 coaching clients, we take pride in designing and providing relevant programs best suited for a diverse set of people, at every phase of their transformation.

Our approach to Transformation takes shape in three phases best represented in these Filipino words: Ka-Malayan, Ka-Likha, and Kalinangan.  Each word (or phrase) is prefixed by “Ka” whose meaning is a prerequisite to most things akin to Haraya – – doing things together. 

Ka-Malayan (Partners in Awareness)

Partnering happens from the very beginning with Ka-Malayan.  Ka-Malayan is about Awareness.  Haraya employs tools and processes to derive an assessment of your current state and needs. Building the appropriate space for inward reflection and self-discovery are our certified coaches who are also leaders in their respective fields (management, people development, wellness, operations).  In Ka-Malayan, we will uncover and discover.  Together, we will understand your needs and envision your desired outcomes. Individuals may understand more about strengths and motivations, while teams/groups may look into team cohesiveness, leadership presence or overall well-being of team members.  Findings and recommendations in Ka-Malayan are precursors for the next phase. Individuals and teams/groups are poised to approach the next phase with more confidence having acquired better clarity and awareness of themselves and their situation.

Ka-Likha (Partners in Creation)

Essential to achieving the desired outcomes is designing a program that nurtures your assets and addresses your needs. This happens in Ka-Likha. Haraya maps out a program that is mindful of the intended audience, employing a methodology that will engage them in the most effective way.  Your vision will be the backdrop for Haraya’s proposal of a customized co-created program. Programs may vary from workshops, team development activities, interactive, learning, coaching sessions, and even hybrids.  Haraya dons your perspective and incorporates our coaching and leadership experience to create a program meant for you.

Kalinangan (Partners in Integration)

Kalinangan sees the outputs from Ka-Malayan and Ka-Likha come to life, as the program is delivered to you and your team, team members or the organization.  With the delivery of the program, it becomes integrated into your reality.  Haraya and its team of coaches and experts execute flexibly through workshop facilitation, learning sessions, knowledge and technology transfer, and group or individual coaching. And because the transformation to greatness is a journey, a component of follow-through group or individual coaching supports sustainability and momentum.

At Haraya Coaching we work with you to design your vision, measure your success, and map out a tangible plan to make it all happen. Whether you are looking for a career shift, wanting more life balance, starting a new project or business, leading a new team, or launching team culture we will support you and/or your team in your journey towards greatness!

When you first hear the word “Haraya” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Some people might think the most mundane thing such as a type of coffee, perhaps? Or maybe it’s a word in a local dialect with some form of meaning related to encouragement?

Close… but not close enough.

An old Tagalog word for “Vision and Imagination”, “Haraya” is exactly the perfect word that its founder, Jackie Cañiza had in mind when she started the company in 2012.

Having initially designed her company, previously known as Business Hat, Inc. as a consulting company which merely included coaching as a service, Jackie always felt herself gravitating towards the practice and profession of coaching. So, when she brought together her partners Lea, Cecilia, and TJ, she instantly felt that they needed a fresh start with a company name that would be collectively theirs. With four certified coaches on board, what better way to brainstorm for the perfect company name than by having their own strategic planning sessions? After much reflection on their core values and main purpose, the name “Haraya” came to be.

The word Haraya, according to Jackie is perfect because not only is it a Filipino word – and rightly so Filipino-sounding, which represents pride to the Philippines, but just as well, the word’s meaning is important in that it helps people reach who they want to be – or in other words to “Be your imaginable”.

Coming out of a long HR-background, Jackie has had her fair share of experiences in finding business coaches for her employer’s key executive and key management positions. She recounted how she would go as far as flying in coaches from other countries. With her experiences, she knew that there was a gap in the market. She saw this gap as an opportunity to make coaching more accessible for anybody – not just for C-level executives but even for young adults just starting with their careers. In fact, having managed Haraya now for a few years, Jackie shares that currently they don’t just serve a certain age range – their clients range from teenagers all the way to retirees.

So what exactly makes Haraya stand out apart from its unique name and vision? Though there are not too many companies specializing in coaching in the Philippines at the moment, according to Jackie, Haraya’s greatest advantage is the fact that the company has a big pool of about 40-50 coaches with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. This wide pool of available coaches allows Jackie and her partners to properly match the right coach with the right client and assure that there’s good chemistry in the relationship. Jackie also adds that many of the companies that also do coaching are also usually focused on consulting and training but what separates Haraya from these types of companies is that early on, they already decided that Haraya’s main core and focus will be on coaching.

With the key focus on coaching, Haraya has three primary coaching services: 1) Life coaching for individuals which can cover any aspect of life such as work-life balance, career or transitions; 2) Corporate coaching programs which involve coaching teams, leaders or executives in the corporate world; and, 3) Coach development, a certification program for anyone who would like to pursue coaching as a practice or just to learn how to become a coach for their company.

The Haraya coaches usually begin their coaching sessions with what they call a “Deep Dive” or a kind of understanding and assessment of a person or company’s current state, then use this assessment as a springboard for the outcome that both coach and client would like to work on together. The coaches use a variety of frameworks and tools that they see fit for the individual or team. From there they proceed with a certain number of sessions and maintain an open line of communication to all of the people they coach whether it be a short chat or a short text message at the end of a long and stressful day.

With a long background in the different fields of HR and having been around a variety of people of different ages, backgrounds, and personalities, Jackie highly believes in the value that coaching can bring. She communicates that finding a coach in the Philippines shouldn’t be hard or expensive. Together with her partners, she believes that any individual or any team can become what they imagine themselves to be. And now more than ever in the wake of the pandemic, Jackie and her team feels a great sense of purpose in helping not just front liners, but all individuals who have been physically, mentally or emotionally affected in one way or the other with the changes that have happened in the past few months. With this, the Haraya team continually pursues their work encouraging everyone to go beyond what they thought was impossible.
