Coaching for the Creative Industries

Unlock the Potential within You

Why Coaching?

Coaching provides a safe, supportive and challenging space to work on your personal and professional growth.

It’s a chance to explore habits, behaviors, or beliefs that might be holding you back, helping you think more positively and perform better.

Your coach won't give you all the answers. Instead, they’re there to listen, ask the right questions, and guide you towards the decisions and solutions that will work for you.

Why Rising Coaching?

Hi, I'm Lara Akeju, founder of Rising Coaching and an EMCC-accredited, ILM Level 7 Executive Coach. I also have over 25 years' experience in television production and commissioning.

I understand the challenges of the creative industries. I started Rising Coaching to help creative organisations get the best out of their people, and to enable talented individuals to thrive.

As a coach, I encourage my clients to bring their whole self into the coaching room. We'll work together to reveal effective ways to achieve positive change.

What Clients Say

I would highly recommend Lara as a coach. Lara took the time to get to know who I was and what my goals were in order to carefully direct the programme in a path that would be of most benefit to me.

AO, Head of Department, UK Broadcaster

Lara's personal experience in the TV industry gives her a specialist understanding of the specifics of working in film and television which is invaluable. She's a reassuring, generous presence.

LL, Television Producer

Working with Lara helped me to slow down, think things through rationally, and put a step-by-step plan in place.

JH, Celebrity Talent Manager

My coaching sessions with Lara have helped me transition into retirement after 40 years of full-time work. Lara supported me in identifying strategies to plan my time going forward and explore ways to contribute and feel useful to society post career.

KM, Retail Buying Director (retired)

Lara has a really intuitive skill of being able to hold a mirror up to barriers you create for yourself in times of frustration and stagnation, and give you a sense of accountability in decisions and actions you need to take to progress forwards. I would recommend working with her to anyone!
