Tailored to you

Coaching sessions are 1:1, and I work with you in whichever area you want to focus on in each session. I will tailor the approach, tools and exercises that I feel will be most helpful, based on your individual goals and situation.
We will adapt our meetings to a length and cadence that work best for you and leave sufficient time for you to reflect, take action and make progress between appointments. Coaching sessions can be held online or in person at your offices in London.

Motivational Speaker

What happens when you refuse to accept a limiting diagnosis? What happens when you stop trying to ‘solve’ everything and start living in ‘flow’?

As a motivational speaker I use my own personal experiences as a business leader and performance coach to inspire audiences and help them to realise their potential.

I present on wide range of topics including leadership, imposter syndrome, public speaking and wellbeing.

 

 

What would life be like if you stepped into your authentic power?

Are you always comparing yourself to others and feeling you should be more like them? Do you put energy into looking like you have everything together when inside you feel like an anxious imposter? Are you unsure what you should be doing with your life and the goals you should be working towards?

Maximum You will take you on a journey to better understand yourself and define a way of living that is right for you. With ‘Know yourself’ questions and exercises to work through in each chapter, this book can give you the insights you need to live a fulfilled and happy life, whilst embracing being Maximum You.

Become a Confident Presenter

Digital Course

I love public speaking, but it wasn’t always like that!  I understand that it can feel daunting to stand in front of an audience, no matter how big or small, so I created this course to help you become a confident presenter for life!

During the course I share my expert insights and strategies, honed through years of presenting to different audiences and coaching professionals across various industries.

The course is 10 weeks and you’ll receive weekly emails that will have the videos, journal prompts and homework. You'll also have the option to access the complete course content immediately, allowing you to progress at a faster pace if needed.


Janaury 2020

Getting a coach was the best thing I did last year. I was dealing with some big challenges and Emilie helped me navigate some difficult relationships, stabilise and get the best out of my team and set and achieve goals I didn’t think were possible.
