Testimonials
CD, Senior Leader
I actually just really found it useful to have someone to discuss issues and challenges at work with. Elsa was a good listener and asked good questions. Elsa has been really useful in helping me see my strengths and challenge my weaknesses, and the process of having someone to talk things through with, especially at a challenging time to work at the BBC, has been really invaluable and I’m grateful for the chance.
BP, Commissioning
“I appreciated Elsa’s ability to pivot from our initial goals to new ones as my circumstances changed, without making me feel any guilt about this change. (I have) greater confidence in myself and advocating myself and my views.
Thank you it’s a great resource, Elsa has been a brilliant coach, gifted with lots of skilled listening, clarity, and empathy”

I am based in Central London.

I trained and worked as a print journalist before getting a job in TV as a researcher. I freelanced for several years working my way up to series producer, before I became a Head of Talent at an indie in 2005, recruiting freelancers and managing and growing in house talent.
I have worked as a Talent Acquisition Consultant at the BBC since 2013 across a range of genres Documentaries, Specialist Factual and Factual Entertainment.
I joined BBC News and Current Affairs in 2020. I recruit for Panorama, audio and TV investigations for BBC Two, Three, World Service and Radio 4.
I have spent two decades identifying, recruiting, growing, mentoring and supporting key freelance editorial and production talent.
I have helped people at every stage of their careers, from those taking their first steps into the industry to experienced professionals navigating career changes or seeking new opportunities.
I wrote How to Get A Job in Television to help people get into and have a career in TV. It was published by Bloomsbury in 2009 and is still in print. Many of the people I’ve supported have gone on to become award-winning creative talent and senior leaders.
I updated it in 2021 as a 36 page eBook.
It has advice, tips and templates.
