About Emma
I use my listening skills, lived experiences, genuine empathy, helpful provocation, and a dash of humour to help out when it’s needed most.
Helping organisations to thrive
There are two key sides to my work within organisations: team coaching and learning and development. Both areas focus on supporting collaboration and effectiveness whilst considering ethical values and promoting sustainability.
I usually work within the private sector for companies that care about their people and the impact they have on the world. I’m passionate about the work I do and the people I help.
My background
My career began in procurement and supply chain management, where I led both local and global teams. This experience taught me the critical role of effective communication for collaboration.
Moving into learning and development was a natural progression, fuelled by my passion to see teams succeed, not just as individuals, but as a cohesive group. Because I believe that the challenges faced by the world today can only be solved collaboratively.
My philosophy
Finding the perfect blend of challenge, empathy, and kindness will ultimately lead to better communication and performance. Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of addressing behaviours and communication styles in a way that encourages curiosity, awareness and choice – knowing it might be messy, and that’s OK if the work has been done to create a safe container.
In every instance, whether it’s a tense team scenario or a personal development moment, I strive to offer insights that encourage growth, backed by a strong foundation of trust and respect. I believe in acting with integrity, aligning with my values in everything I do.
Collaboration and wider networks
My wider network, including coaches and learning and development providers, helps me take on diverse projects while maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality. This collaborative approach means I can design my services to meet the complex needs of global and local teams alike.
Ethical business and sustainability
Ethics and sustainability are the foundations of my work. From designing “Ethical Influencing” programmes to incorporating real sustainability practices in procurement, I’m dedicated to proving that businesses can indeed be a force for good!
Yoga and your overall well-being
Beyond the business world, I teach yoga, mainly to those over 40.
Yoga is about staying fit, flexible, and strong. It embodies the belief that growth and improvement are always within reach, no matter your stage of life.
But yoga isn’t just for our physical health; it’s also a way of enhancing self-awareness and grounding ourselves through challenging times. It’s a reminder of the importance of balance and mindfulness, not just in our personal lives but also in our professional ones.
