Prior to joining the Executive Coaching Consultancy in February 2004 Emma spent over 10 years working in the financial services sector, working for the Prudential, the Liberty Life Group and JP Morgan Chase. As an HR Business Partner, a Learning and Development Specialist and now as a coach, Emma has worked extensively with individuals across a wide variety of roles, levels, organisations and sectors to help them optimise their performance and maximise their potential.
Emma is particularly interested in working with individuals during transition points in their careers – either to a more senior role, working within a new organisation or through periods of significant change. She enjoys working with high potential individuals and Leaders to enable them to maximise their potential and achieve their aspirations.
Coaching Style
Emma has a highly empathic and intuitive approach to coaching which provides her with insights into her clients which allows her to challenge them in a fearless and demanding yet encouraging and supportive way.
Each coaching programme is tailored to her individual client’s needs, where they will examine their strengths, development areas, coaching and business objectives using a structured framework which allows them to develop relevant and achievable action plans leading to significant results. Emma combines perceptiveness and empathy with a strong pragmatic and business focus.
“Clients describe me as being open and challenging within a highly supportive and constructive framework. I bring objectivity and structure to a client’s personal and professional development goals, as well as thought-provoking insights.
