Coaching

The first 90 days: Build a meaningful connection between new joiners, their individual and collective strengths, and the company - quickly, and well.
Returners: Support new parents through this profound transition by helping them identify who they are, now, and how to connect to today’s organisation - while building belonging to others in the same boat.

Return to Work Coaching
Structured coaching programmes designed to supercharge the skills of new parents as they transition back into work.
Our programmes are unique in the way they equip every new parent with the tools they need to manage their own ‘Return to work’ journey - building unshakeable confidence in their own skills, (re)defining their identity at work, and sharpening the ability to communicate their changing needs.
The ‘return to work’ isn’t a once and done, it’s an evolution, and it starts from the moment your people know they’re expecting.
Without the right support, companies risk:
High attrition within the first two years (57%, Careers after babies)
Reduced productivity and increased sick-leave due to burnout, lack of flexibility and mismatched expectations
Untapped commercial potential from undervalued parental strengths

The Bright Yellow Method ™
Bright Yellow Returners™ is grounded in real-world insight from coaching hundreds of professionals through the return-to-work transition.
Returning to work isn’t a single moment, it’s a complex, evolving journey.
New parents change, their families change, and so do the organisations they return to. Yet most companies treat the return-to-work as a one-off moment, and many don’t have the systems in place to support longer-term reintegration at scale.
Our coaching framework fills this gap by equipping returners with tools to self-manage their own journey. They develop the skills to reflect, advocate for their needs, and make informed decisions that support their long-term performance.
Reduce pressure on line-managers
Increase retention, productivity, and wellbeing of new parents
Empower new parents to proactively identify and address challenges before they escalate.
Our method is intentionally timed to align with the patterns we see from along the return-to-work experience. From the initial identity shift to the rebuilding of professional confidence, every phase delivers specific support to meet returners where they are - ensuring meaningful, measurable impact.
