'I started the sessions with Emily at a very low ebb after leaving a role where I’d been unhappy for some time, and without a job to go to. Emily helped me identify what it is that I’m looking for from work on an emotional and intellectual level. She encouraged me to fight for the right work/life balance. She gave me the confidence to promote myself to the outside world and to move into a different way of working. I have bounced back from a difficult period in my life and I have also grown in confidence beyond that. I’ve regained a belief in my experience and abilities, am clearer about what I’m looking for, what I have to offer and have pushed myself into a new sphere.
Emily is intuitive, supportive and pragmatic.
She listens carefully and helped me listen to my own instincts. She helps set targets, so that over the weeks I made tangible leaps forward.
She pushed me out of my comfort zone in a way that I felt comfortable with!
She has real wisdom about the world of work and how to push for a career that works alongside life in general. Emily was also incredibly helpful at advising on the important but finer details – whether that was working on a CV together, or advising how to frame my communications with prospective employers.
I feel more confident and happier. I couldn’t be more grateful to Emily for her support and advice during the time we worked together and can’t recommend her highly enough!
SB, story and script producer, who reminded me you don't have to be the loudest voice in the room to be heard
‘I spent a year being coached by Emily and found it enormously beneficial. It was during a period of significant career growth whereby I was promoted to Senior Director, took on a new team and was identified as a future C-Suite candidate. As a result my confidence in my management style improved as I was able to understand, and play to, my own strengths with greater clarity. Also, I found my stress levels reduced as by working with Emily I was able to more clearly define which work factors were outside of my control and those inside of my control and the actions I wanted to take next. I found this reduced my tendency to ruminate on issues outside of work hours and improved my structured thinking generally. Emily was a great support to me in a safe environment allowing me to explore my goals and career aspirations. I highly recommend Emily to others seeking career confidence and support.’
SG, FinTech startup senior director, whose ambition is infectious and she has inspired me to work hard at being the best coach I can be
‘In the three months of working with Emily I've seen an evolution I could only have dreamt of.
I am now fulfilling the dream I've had for years and it was Emily who helped me to see it was all possible! I'm so excited for the future - both for me and my family! It's absolutely true when she describes herself as your biggest cheerleader - she breathes belief into you! Working with Emily has led me to the biggest transformation in my life to date.
I can't wait to see what's to come next - thank you so much Emily!'
JP, management consultant to interior designer, who reminded me to that sometimes slowing down, and even stopping, is the right thing to do
‘I started working with Emily after being made redundant. Having lost that role, which I felt defined me, things had turned upside down and I was left feeling professionally lost and emotional. From day one, Emily encouraged me to think hard about what I actually wanted and what was under my control. Together we structured an action plan and I moved towards something even better than I had before. As a result, I have flipped my career to working on my own terms as a consultant, my confidence has grown massively and her guidance has taught me so much about how to get what you want and how to take action and not stand on the sidelines. I couldn’t be more grateful, this kind of coaching is truly life changing. Thank you Emily.
HL, operations manager to freelance consultant and entrepreneur, who reminded me that redundancy can be a positive thing
‘As a full time working mum...I was sinking under the pressure of it all. As a result of the coaching, I feel calmer, more balanced, and more confident. I feel hopeful and positive and empowered. For anyone feeling blocked, overwhelmed or just struggling to sort some stuff on their own, I’d highly recommend coaching with Emily. It’s amazing what momentum you can build with a little help to unlock a different way of thinking!’
CA, director in a global market research company, who taught me to aim high and work hard
'Coaching with Emily has made a significant impact on my life, considerably for the better! I’m more optimistic, excited and clearer on what I want and am now on my way to making that happen in reality. I’m changing my career, moving cities and more confident that I’ll make a success of it.'
LH, coach and facilitator, who taught me how to be a brave coach
‘Emily is brilliant! My confidence has really improved, I have managed to become much more organised and I actually get things done… I have wanted to change my career path for a while but have found it overwhelming and difficult to know what to do and how to go about it. With Emily’s help, I feel so much more focused and I have signed up for a course that I can’t wait to start.’
CS, who taught me that my view of the world is different to the next person’s
‘This has been of huge help to me as this is a period of transformation for me professionally. Coaching sessions with Emily have helped me achieve the change from having some vague thoughts and ideas to actually having goals and plans that I am enthusiastically working on.’
JT, who taught me that when you work on the little things, it gives the big things the space to breathe
‘My sessions with Emily encouraged me to be more assertive in my worklife, boosted my self-esteem and led me to increase my income. The exercises Emily took me through enabled me to see what was important to me, what I had already achieved and was happy with, and what I wanted to change.’
SL, senior copywriter, who taught me that great things come to those who wait
‘Emily has helped me identify important goals, set priorities and define the steps needed to work towards achieving them. Through her coaching techniques and questioning she has helped tease out what really matters, narrow things down to achievable, short-term activities and ensured that I commit to taking action. I’ve come away from every session with greater clarity and feeling positive about the phase ahead.’
AM, who taught me to never shy away from a learning mindset
