Lead through change and challenge with clarity, courage and kindness so that your team can thrive, not just survive.
Helping overwhelmed leaders and teams thrive
I help kind charity sector leaders whose teams have been through change or growth and who feel the strain of keeping everyone motivated and performing. They’ve tried avoiding conflict and steering around difficult conversations, but what they really need is a way to lead authentically through the storm, not around it, so they can guide their team to perform at their best while staying true to their values and not burn out.

How to spend less time in meetings... and make them useful.
The more I work with teams the more I realise that meetings are pretty broken and need to be fixed.
The solution is simpler than you think. But it does take intention to shift how you help others to do their very best thinking.
I've created a free downloadable workbook to help you spend less time in meetings and to make them useful.

"The day itself was transformative – a genuine landmark moment for our team. It gave us the opportunity to step away from our day-to-day work, connect as a team, and begin to develop a shared understanding of each other’s roles and the challenges we face. The structured environment and external perspective Emily brought enabled us to think clearly and collaboratively, setting the stage for ongoing conversations and growth. "

Through 1-2-1 coaching, group programmes or training I'm here to give you the space to step into your inner leader.
Unlock Your Teams Potential
As a leader it's easy to see the challenges, the lack of motivation, the difficult conversations and workload.
What if you knew that everyone in your team had the potential to thrive in their role?
By working with your team through listening and thinking sessions as well as facilitation and training. I can help your team rise, get motivated, generate ideas, get comfortable with feedback and grow together.
About Me
I help leaders and teams unlock their potential by creating spaces where people can think for themselves, challenge assumptions, and work together with confidence.
With deep listening, empathy, and curiosity at the core of my approach, I guide groups through tension, conflicting ideas, and stuck thinking — turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
I bring courage and authenticity to my work, combining reflective insight with practical strategy. The result? Teams that communicate openly, trust each other, and make better decisions — and leaders who feel energised, self-aware, and equipped to inspire.
I believe every team can grow when given the right space and tools. My joy comes from seeing transformation happen.
I draw my approach from fifteen years experience as a senior leader in the charity sector, my training as a Time to Think Coach and Facilitator and my experience of coaching and training hundreds of leaders and teams.
I'm an ILM Level 7 qualified coach, Accredited C-Me Colour Profiling facilitator, a certified Time to Think Coach and currently training to become a Time to Think Facilitator.
