“I can’t recommend Emma highly enough as a Senior Executive Coach. My time with her is some of the best spent in helping me reflect and discuss challenges I have experienced. She helps me understand how I can tackle situations from the boardroom through to working with the various teams I lead across the world”. Ian, Chief Digital Officer, Fidelity Investments

What is it like working with Emma?
"Emma is calm, supportive & honest whilst unafraid to challenge her clients to search deeper & take risks for both personal and professional growth. She provides a safe space for reflection, challenge, action planning & support. However, it's not always easy and be prepared to be pushed out of your comfort zones at times which Emma believes is where the magic really happens."

“I found working with Emma a thoroughly enjoyable experience but it was not always easy. Sometimes taking a close look at one’s own behaviours when attempting to manage others does not always make for comfortable reading! Emma is always prepared and thoroughly professional. She is firm, candid and direct but there is always a good sense of humour too.” Andrew, Head of Marine, Allianz.

“I would describe Emma as calm, thoughtful, logical and very honest. Don’t expect unwarranted flattery, you won’t get it, just constructive (warts and all) feedback and logical, insightful challenge to all the lame excuses you have traditionally allowed yourself to accept in order to justify your behaviour.” Kirstie, Compliance Director, Kensington Mortgages.
