Market disruption, regime changes, restructures, uncertainty - the chances are these are part of your working life these days.
I’ve experienced them all, and overcome them to have a long and successful media career with a reputation as an excellent creative leader and communicator.
Now I use that expertise to unlock transformational success in others, helping executives and leaders build the courage, confidence and communication skills they need to survive and thrive amidst disruption and change.
What gets you out of bed in the morning ?
For me it’s to be excited by life and to have fun - but also to share expertise and inspire others - which is why I launched Clare Laycock Coaching.
I’ve spent 30+ years in global media companies, leading creative, commissioning and content teams through an ever-changing media landscape. I’ve held senior roles at Discovery, the BBC, UKTV and Warner Brothers Discovery. You can read more in my bio.
I’ve been through reorganisations, mergers and regime-changes. I’ve learnt how to flex, adapt and thrive through change - understanding when and what to fight for and getting comfortable with risk and the possibility of failure. I’ve built and led dream-teams working to a core mission. And I’ve had a great time doing it.
Now, as a qualified business and personal coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation, I work with executives and teams to unlock transformational thinking that enables them to move forwards in successful careers that fulfil their potential and, most importantly, bring them joy.
But enough about me - what about you? Get in touch, it'd be great to meet you.
Clare was the best ‘gift to myself’ I could’ve asked for. She has been so helpful in providing me with the dedicated time, expertise and headspace I’ve needed to just focus on me for a change, which has allowed me to think clearly through my professional goals for the future.
She was kind, considerate, helpful, knowledgeable and patient throughout. I would highly recommend Clare to anyone who is struggling with the way forward, be that in their personal or professional life, or indeed both !

My sessions with Clare have been incredibly helpful. She's creative, kind and collaborative. Working together, she helped me break professional challenges down into bite size chunks, to come up with strategic and actionable solutions. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of our industry, and the people who run it, was also really useful in helping me come up with practical next steps. I would recommend her to any senior leaders in TV and film.

If you’re wondering about coaching - just do it ! Across our sessions Clare helped me identify what had been holding me back from making a crucial decision in my life - which has unlocked all sorts of positive changes. I’m no longer stuck and in limbo and can now look to the future with excitement. Thank you Clare.

Super helpful - Clare really helped me see things from a new perspective and figure out how to move forward. I left each session feeling clearer and more confident about what to do next. I’ve also noticed a real shift in mindset and I feel more confident and intentional in how I articulate my goals.
