Welcome to

Work, Family & You

We are on a mission to affect change. Family-friendly workplaces are good for everyone. And when workplaces aren’t supportive it holds back talented people. This leads to a diminished pool of future leaders. Not every employee or organisation can call on the type of coaching support that we provide and that we know is key to thriving at work. So, we have opted to open up access to some of our favourite and valuable resources. It’s available to everyone and please do share.

Testimonials

"What a valuable way to spend 90 minutes. Having not had any formal coaching before I was unsure how the session would go, but I came out feeling empowered with some great tools to manage work/life balance more effectively and felt validated in the decision I had made to date."

Parental Leaver, 1:1 Coaching, Technology

“The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.”

Head of Legal, International Property Group

“The team is a pleasure to work with, consistently bringing expert advice and guidance, energy and professionalism to the partnership.”

Diversity and Inclusion Executive, Multinational Investment Bank

"I found my ECC coaching sessions incredibly valuable - for the unique and necessary space I was seeking as a sole proprietor to feel heard, understood and connected to a peer in business. My coaching experience provided a safe space where I could be the real me, and provided a relationship I could truly trust. Thank you ECC."
