The experience to guide. The humanity to understand.
Yellowbrick was founded on a simple belief: people get a bit stuck, and the right kind of company helps them find their own way home.
Warm, brave and grounded.
Every engagement begins with the person or the situation, never with a predetermined process.
“While creating a leavers scheme in the corporate world, I recognised that its invitation to consider what came next also applied to me.”
Claire Owen, FounderThat moment of clarity helped shape Yellowbrick — and it is why every piece of work starts from the same honest question: what would a good way forward look like for you?
A business shaped by lived experience.
Claire Owen brings deep people and leadership experience from commercial and not-for-profit environments. She understands the pressures that can pull people, teams and organisations away from what matters.
Claire chose to take voluntary leave, partly to become her mum's carer. Stepping away gave her first-hand experience of pausing, re-evaluating what truly matters and choosing a new direction. It is also why she works with clients Tuesday to Thursday: a deliberate balance that lets her live the choices she helps others make.
Today, she works alongside individuals, teams and leaders with compassionate listening, courageous challenge and a flexible approach. She does not provide a predetermined destination; she creates the conditions for people to find their own.
Real-world wisdom, professionally grounded.
