Understand yourself, Make better decisions, Enjoy work more.

  • "I have rarely felt so understood in such a such a short amount of time. I walked out of our session with much more clarity and a real usable strategy for what to do next. Ella’s competence is evident within the first 10 minutes. There are no vague affirmations; Ella is all about the specifics and helping you to guide yourself into decisions and actions that actually address your core needs. "

    - Graham Smith, Technical Director, Trickshot

  • “I can’t recommend Ella enough. My sessions have left me more confident, focussed and clear-headed. Having just had a baby, and contemplating a return to work, I was feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of juggling so much. Our sessions allowed me to really arrive at a sense of self, understand my priorities and put the right tools and systems in place for success. It was a pleasure to work with Ella - she is professional, very switched on, friendly and non-judgmental.”

    - Kate R, Mother, and in-house lawyer

  • "Having you hold space for me has been incredibly powerful. A lot of what I was dealing with was tensions between the different outcomes I needed to realise for myself, my family, for my wellbeing. The actual issue that you were able to help me unpick, was not treating this as a work problem, but recognising that this was a point of tension held in the many aspects of being Will. That was beyond me."

    - Will, Director, Consulting

Is Bright Yellow right for me?

I am a parent returning to work

Becoming a parent has changed who you are, especially how you spend your precious time.

The sacrifices you make to even be at work, or the fact that work is now the only place you’re not ‘just’ someone’s mum or dad, means you need work to work for you.

I am a professional feeling ‘stuck’

You know that something’s not right at work, but at the same time, feel helpless to make a change.

The endless possibilities are suffocating, you feel pressure at every decision, and whether you’re a founder, a C-suite, or a worker bee - you need to make that shift from thinking to action.

I am starting in a new role or new company

You’re looking to make a brilliant first impression, and you need to demonstrate impact, fast.

Pressure to perform means there isn’t time or space to be lacking in confidence right now.. You need to amplify your impact from a position of strength, authenticity, and adaptation.

Returners™ Coaching

Becoming a parent has totally transformed your identity and relationship with time. Decisions feel harder, time is scarce, and your needs become the very last thing on the list.

Bright Yellow Returners™ is designed to put you back in control. You’ll be equipped with the tools you need to navigate this profound transition, to identify who you are, now, and design work patterns that support your professional ambitions and personal priorities.

It’s pragmatic and purposeful. You’ll learn to make tiny, tangible changes that help you manage the conflicting priorities of daily decisions between work and home.

Including:

  • Identify what matters now e.g. values

  • Systems for decision-making success

  • Specific topics like: ‘Micro acts of self-care’ or ‘boundaries’

Let's get started

I’m a ‘stuck’ professional

You’re driven, and you care about the work you do, but the more you think, the more you feel disconnected from your work.

Your brain is keeping you stuck in a cycle of rumination and it feels impossible to know what to do next.

Our coaching will reconnect you with your core values and design a work life that excites your mind while satisfying a deeper need for meaning and purpose.

You’ll learn to make intentional adjustments that bring your daily work into better alignment with who you truly are. You’ll leave with a toolkit for a more confident career journey, and a clear set of criteria for decision-making.

Including:

  • Identifying your values, environments for success, and associated behaviours

  • Criteria for clear decision-making

  • Building your career narrative

I’m starting something new

As a leader, you’re no longer just responsible for yourself, there’s additional complexity of your team, and the company. Now add in the pressure to prove yourself - to investors, the board, or the C-Suite.

You’ll learn to navigate complex environments from a position of strength, authenticity, and sustainable high performance.

Avoid the pitfalls of applying past strategies to new contexts and learn to analyse your characteristics and attributes, your new context, and manage your impact in a way that stays true to you, while driving results.

Bright Yellow specialises in amplifying the impact of leaders from consulting, finance, and VC/PE-backed companies - environments where expectations are high and timelines are tight.

The key to success is finding the sweet spot to max your natural talents in pursuit of the organisation’s goals or investor needs.

Including:

  • Alignment for impact

  • Strategies for switching gears

  • Adaptive leadership
