Who I work with

Leaders starting new roles

  • Starting a new position in a high intensity, high performance environment brings unique pressures - especially when you need to demonstrate impact quickly.

    Avoid the common mistake of applying past strategies to new contexts. Instead, we’ll analyse your characteristics and attributes, the organisation’s culture, and create a tailored approach that stays true to you while driving results.

    I specialise in leaders from consulting, finance, VC/PE-backed companies, and environments where expectations are high and timelines are tight.

    The key to success is finding the intersection where we amplify your natural talents in pursuit of the organisation or investor needs.

    Including:

    • Alignment for impact

    • Strategies for switching gears

    • Adaptive leadership

  • Prices start from £1350 for a 6 week programme.

Professionals feeling ‘stuck’

  • If you’re driven but feeling disconnected from your work, you’re not alone. Thoughtful high-performers often find themselves questioning their path, and are susceptible to burnout despite outward success.

    Our work together will focus on reconnecting with your core values and designing a work life that ignites your intellect while satisfying a deeper draw for meaning and purpose.

    It may not require dramatic change (although that sometimes happens)., but intentional adjustments that bring your daily work into better alignment with who you truly are.

    Where needed, we’ll build you a toolkit for a more confident career journey - whether shifting careers or making changes in your current role.

    Options include:

    • Deep-dive into values, work context, and associated behaviours

    • Interview prep incl. your career narrative

    • Career change design workshop

  • Prices start from £1100

Return to Work parents

  • Becoming a parent transforms your identity and relationship with time. Work can often matter so much more than before, as the only place where parents can feel like themselves again, rather than just being someone’s mum or dad.

    I equip parents with the tools they need to navigate this profound transition and design work patterns that support both their professional ambitions and personal priorities.

    It’s deeply pragmatic work, focused on tiny, tangible changes that help manage the daily decisions and conflicting priorities at work and home.

    Including:

    • Systems for success at work and home

    • Micro acts of self-care

    • Confident conversations e.g. setting boundaries

  • Individual coaching: min. purchase 6 session pack {£900} & initial chemistry session [£200]

    Group coaching: £350 monthly subscription, incl. weekly coaching, what’s app, and tailored exercises. [3 month minimum commitment]

  • "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 S, Director, EY Seren

What we do, together.

  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of your core values, natural attributes, and characteristic patterns.

    It’s not ”strengths”and “weaknesses,” but identification of your unique attributes and how they serve you. This phase includes assessment, reflective exercises, and deep conversation about what truly matters to you.

  • Translate your new-found knowledge into impact at work, as it is today.

    Analyse your specific environment & context, whether it’s your new workplace, a return to work with your changed identity, or a role that no longer fits.

    You’ll learn how to identify the unwritten rules, cultural expectations, and success factors. Then, we’ll develop strategies & tiny tactics to align who you are effectively within this context, matching your natural state and the environment’s needs.

  • The final phase focuses on practical application. You’ll run small experiments designed to test out new ways of thinking, acting, and curating systems in your environment. You’ll learn to tune into your own reactions to gather feedback, and refine your strategies accordingly.

    This iterative process builds confidence and creates sustainable change.

The Bright Yellow Coaching Method is a rigorous combination of coaching with tools, techniques and theory from the social sciences, including:

  • Weekly 1:1 coaching, practical experiments and reflection tools

  • Social science insights & hand-picked resources (articles, books, podcasts)

  • On-demand support (WhatsApp or email)

  • Tiny, targeted strategies for your specific situation

It’s intense, but designed intentionally to give you what you need now and equips you with the tools you need to keep growing, long after we finish.

And the impact?

  • You’ll know exactly what you bring to the table and what you want from your career.

  • You’ll stop second-guessing and start trusting yourself. We’ll build confidence in your skills, decisions, and leadership style.

  • You’ll step into your strengths and communicate your value so you’re seen, heard, and recognised for your impact.

  • You’ll shape work around your strengths and values, so it feels less draining and more rewarding.

  • No fluff, no endless talking. I help you move forward with tiny steps that make a huge difference.
