Are you a sustainability leader feeling unsure or unfulfilled in a career which used to fire you up?

My transformational coaching methods will reconnect you to the clarity, confidence and purpose you’re looking for

Are you confused about your next career move?

Do you see less experienced and skilled colleagues finding the career fulfilment and success you wish you had?

Are you stuck in the comfort zone of everyday busyness, capable of doing great things, if only you could lift your head up and get out of your own way?

Perhaps you’ve been trying to work through it yourself but are drowning in conflicting messages from self-help books, advice from AI, podcasts and ‘coffee chats’.

And maybe now you are looking for a coach that ‘gets’ what it’s like to work in sustainability, and can work with you on a deeper level to regain your clarity, confidence and purpose.

If this is you, then welcome to Yellow Bench Coaching - you’re in the right place. 💛

I coach sustainability leaders to transform their lives and careers, and as a former corporate sustainability leader, I’ve been in your shoes - I understand the unique challenges of purpose-driven work.

I offer one-to-one coaching packages of varying lengths. My coaching is not your standard career coaching. To make lasting, transformational change we will:

💛work holistically across all parts of your life, your past, present & future;

💛use therapeutic tools to take the sting out of significant events and get you unstuck;

💛work deeply to reconnect you with your values and purpose;

💛create a practical, future focused plan.

Interested? Then let’s chat.

Meet Liv Cropper Founder of Yellow Bench Coaching

I’m Liv, an award-winning transformational coach working online with leaders globally.

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 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.

In February 2026 I was thrilled to be awarded Highly Commended in the Emerging Coach of the Year category at the National Coaching Awards.

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

"I’ve really enjoyed working with Liv during a recent career transition. Having left my previous role due to a corporate restructure, I’ve been working closely with Liv as I reflect on where I go next as a sustainability leader. Liv is a great listener who deploys distinctive and helpful approaches to get me really thinking about things. For anyone in a sustainability leadership position who’d like to take stock, I’d strongly recommend you spend some time with Liv"

Martin W, Sustainability leader
"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
"Liv really took the time to understand my background and aspirations, and was such a good listener throughout the process. She went above and beyond with her care and follow-up, and was very easy to work with. Through her thoughtful methods, Liv helped me reach a place of understanding and clarity—helping me to identify where and how I really want to focus my energy in the sustainability field. This has helped me move forward with courage and purpose. I’d really recommend Liv to anyone working in sustainability who wants to re-centre and find their purpose. Thanks Liv."

Matt, Sustainability leader
"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
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
“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. "
