Teams & Orgs
Your people are your greatest asset. Are you supporting them?
In the creative and media industries, talent doesn't just walk out the door - it burns out, disengages and quietly disappears. The cost isn't just wellbeing. It's retention, reputation and the culture you've worked hard to build.
Creative Reset works with media companies, production houses, broadcasters and higher education institutions to create environments where creative people can genuinely thrive - not just survive.

This Is For You If:
You rely heavily on freelance production staff
Your middle managers are overstretched but essential
You’re committed to inclusion but want practical support systems
You want to prevent employee burnouts and make sure your teams are fully supported
You want preventative wellbeing — not just reactive crisis management
You believe supporting your people is part of delivering social value
The Reality In Media Right Now
Creative industries thrive on talent - but too often:
Freelancers feel unsupported between contracts
Production managers and middle leaders carry enormous emotional load without guidance or recognition
Burnout is normalised as part of the job
Inclusion goals exist on paper but lack real, structured support
Leaders want to do better by their people - but don’t always have the tools or the time
The result? Your best people question whether to stay. Morale erodes quietly. And the culture you want to build keeps getting pushed down the priority list.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We offer practical support that actually changes things
Leadership & Manager Coaching
Confidential, structured support for leaders and production managers who are carrying a lot and need space to think, develop and lead with more confidence.
Freelancer & Team Wellbeing Programmes
Flexible coaching and support designed for creative teams and contract-based staff - the people who are often most overlooked and most essential.
Workshops & Group Sessions
Resilience, communication, prevention of burnout, leadership and culture-building for production environments. CPD-accredited sessions available.
All programmes are tailored to your organisation's size, culture and specific challenges - virtual or in-person, short-form or extended.
What does this look like in practise?
Organisations who work with Creative Reset typically see:
Managers who feel more equipped, more confident and less reactive under pressure
Teams with stronger communication and a shared sense of purpose
Reduced turnover - because people feel seen and supported
Freelancers who feel genuinely valued, not just contracted
A wellbeing and social value commitment that has real substance behind it
This isn't about a one-off workshop that gets forgotten in a week. It's about building something that lasts.
This is for you if….
You rely heavily on freelance production staff and want to support them better
Your middle managers are overstretched and need real development, not just targets
You're committed to inclusion but need practical, structured systems to back it up
You want preventative wellbeing strategies - not just reactive crisis management
You want your social value commitments to mean something
Why Creative Reset?
Emma Dobinson brings 25+ years of lived experience inside the creative and media industries — not as a consultant who's studied them from the outside, but as someone who has worked in global TV and film production, navigated leadership challenges and built teams under real pressure.
That context matters. When Emma works with your team, she understands the terrain they're operating in. The conversations land differently as a result.
‘I bring real-world experience from television, film production, education and global development. That means I understand the actual realities of creative work - the pressures, the infrastructure, the complexity of navigating teams in high-stakes environments. When I coach or facilitate, I'm not working from theory alone. I understand the terrain you're in.’ - Emma Dobinson
The first step is a free, no-obligation 30-minute conversation. We'll explore what your team needs, discuss what good support looks like for your organisation, and see whether Creative Reset is the right fit.
Creative Reset's group coaching and workshops are designed specifically for people working in TV, film and the wider media industry - environments where pressure, uncertainty and rapid change are simply part of the job. Whether you're looking to invest in your team or find community with peers who get it, our sessions give you practical tools to strengthen your resilience and reconnect with why you do this work.
