Jasmine Hayllar of Sheridan on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jasmine Hayllar. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Jasmine , thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What is a normal day like for you right now?
My days are pretty busy, but incredibly rewarding. I usually start the morning getting organized and catching up on emails before diving into my work as the general manager of a highly busy practice that’s also one of the top providers here in Colorado. Much of my day is spent balancing leadership responsibilities, supporting my team, and problem-solving as things come up.

Outside of my day-to-day role, I also serve as the current board president of GiGi’s Playhouse, which adds another meaningful layer to my schedule. That work keeps me connected to the community and grounded in purpose. No two days look exactly the same, but I enjoy the pace, the variety, and the opportunity to make a positive impact in both my professional and volunteer roles.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Jasmine Hayllar, and I currently serve as the general manager of one of the busiest and top-performing medical supply providers in Colorado. In my role, I oversee daily operations, support an incredible team, and focus on ensuring that the patients and families we serve receive exceptional care and service. What makes our organization special is our people-first approach—we combine high standards, compassion, and efficiency to truly make a difference in the lives of those who rely on us.

In addition to my professional work, I’m proud to serve as the current board president of GiGi’s Playhouse, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families. This role is deeply meaningful to me and reflects my passion for leadership, advocacy, and community impact.

My story is rooted in balancing purpose-driven work with strong leadership. Whether I’m focused on healthcare operations or nonprofit service, I’m motivated by creating positive change, building strong teams, and contributing to organizations that genuinely care about the people they serve.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
Every leader I’ve worked with has taught me the most about work. Each role I’ve held offered lessons—sometimes through positive examples and sometimes by showing me what I never wanted to be. Both experiences shaped how I lead today. Seeing what was missing pushed me to do better for my employees, while strong leadership examples showed me what’s possible. Together, those experiences helped define the leader I’ve become.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me empathy, resilience, and humility in a way success never could. Success can be affirming, but struggle forces you to slow down, listen, and truly understand others. It taught me how important it is to lead with compassion, to stay grounded, and to remember what it feels like to be unsupported or unseen. Those experiences shaped how I show up for my team and my community, and they continue to influence how I define success—not just by outcomes, but by how people are treated along the way.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say that what really matters to me is people—showing up for them, supporting them, and making a meaningful difference in their lives. They’d also say I care deeply about integrity, leadership, and creating spaces where others feel valued and empowered. Whether it’s my work, my community involvement, or my personal relationships, I’m driven by purpose and by doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easiest path.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people may misunderstand my legacy as being solely about accomplishments or titles, when for me it’s always been about people. The work, roles, and recognition matter far less than how others felt working alongside me or being supported by the organizations I was part of. If anything, I hope my legacy is understood not by what I achieved, but by the care, intention, and integrity I brought into every space I was in.
