Welcome to Yellow Bench Coaching

Take a seat.

Are you a senior leader feeling stuck, drained or disconnected from what truly matters?

Do you want to lead with more confidence, build a fulfilling career, and create a balanced life that actually feels like yours?

You’ve achieved a lot - but lately, it feels heavier. The mission still matters, but the energy is harder to find. The clarity isn’t quite there. And quietly, you’re wondering… is this really sustainable?

When you’re leading complex, purpose-driven work, it can feel like trying to boil the ocean. You’re juggling demands, people rely on you, and there’s little space to ask: what about me?

At Yellow Bench Coaching, I help high-performing leaders reconnect to themselves so they can move forward with clarity, confidence and purpose - without burning out.

I’ve been in your shoes. As a former sustainability leader, I know the emotional toll of caring deeply while navigating pressure, resistance and self-doubt.

That’s why I now coach using a human-centric method, blending coaching, psychology and identity work to help you lead in a way that’s sustainable.

I know that lasting change starts with the courage to look inward. Investing in yourself and doing the inner work creates a powerful glow - the ultimate in self-care. It’s how transformations happen.

This is your space to pause. To make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. To shape a career and life that stretches you without draining you.

Because the work you do matters - but so do you. And when you lead from alignment and purpose, you create a legacy you’re proud of.

Meet Liv Cropper Founder of Yellow Bench Coaching

I’m Liv, a transformational coach working online with leaders across the UK.

Before becoming a coach, I studied psychology and spent 25 years building a successful corporate career in financial services. I led programmes, operations, and sustainability - but after experiencing bereavement, burnout, and redundancy, everything changed. I found myself at a crossroads, struggling to balance work and home life, and disconnected from what truly mattered: my health, my family, and my passions.

After some deep soul-searching, I launched Yellow Bench Coaching. My yellow bench represents a pivotal moment in my life - a time when I rediscovered myself, redefined what success means, and found the courage to make bold changes.

Now, I’m on a mission to guide others through their own transformations. With seven years of experience in corporate sustainability, I’m especially passionate about helping sustainability leaders stay focused, balanced, and purpose-driven.

As an accredited Paseda360 Advanced Practitioner, I use Paseda’s holistic coaching methods to help my clients achieve lasting change, fully adhering to the Paseda360 code of ethics.

I believe that professional success and personal fulfilment are not mutually exclusive - and I’m here to help you make that leap.

"Working with Liv has been incredibly inspiring and motivating. We had meaningful and enjoyable conversations that helped me identify and consolidate my strengths, personality traits, and what really matters to me. Liv provided practical strategies to support my growth and development. This is all done with genuine care and a professional service.

Graeme A, Head of Sustainability Reporting
Working with Liv was a transformative experience. Liv created a professional and supportive environment and approaches coaching with genuine care and dedication, making it easy to build a connection. Liv provided a safe, supportive space and offered practical strategies that have supported my growth and development. I left each session feeling lighter, more confident, and equipped with tools for lasting change.

Georgia B, Recruitment & Admissions Manager
"Liv's guidance and coaching were invaluable in boosting my confidence and empowering me to take on new challenges. She has helped me in developing my career and has been a sounding board in pivotal times in my working life."

Matteo D, Net Zero lead
“The difference with Liv is that she really listens. She has a fantastic ability to help you think things through objectively and from lots of different perspectives. And she does this with genuine empathy and support. I'm so glad to have Liv in my corner."

Cheryl J. Project Manager
"Liv’s support has really helped me lean into doing more of the work that makes a difference (and makes me happy too!). When I was in a job that wasn’t going to plan, she helped me recognise that it wasn’t a failure to step away and look for something else which suited me better. "
