Coaching for lasting change

“I’ve worked with several coaches in my career and Emilie’s style of coaching is by far the most practical and constructive. She is an excellent sounding board for challenges great and small and I find her sessions beneficial in clarifying my thinking and making sure I’m focusing my energy in the right direction. Emilie’s own experience as a leader makes her a brilliant leadership coach and also a fantastic moderator for group strategy sessions where you need an independent leader with the tools to engage and inspire.”

Eva Dimitriadis, CEO Conduit Connect

I combine my own extensive experience of navigating and getting promoted in the fast-paced world of Investment Banking with my skills as an Executive Coach to help you build your emotional intelligence, self-awareness, ability to influence others and personal brand to transform your career.

So often we are held back from fulfilling our potential and achieving our goals by a combination of fear and limiting beliefs around what we think is possible. I have seen over and over again when working with my clients how much more can be achieved when you identify and work through these fears and beliefs.

    Nicola, Senior Banker

Earning a position as a senior leader can be highly rewarding, however it comes with significant challenges in terms of people management, strategic thinking and resilience.

Having an Executive Coach is now standard practice for most leaders and those with ambitions to rise to the top, providing vital support and a confidential sounding board to help you survive and thrive in your career.

I also work with growing UK businesses from one-person start-ups to established SMEs with ambitious goals. My ethos is always to keep the approach to management and growth simple, rather than creating complex and time intensive plans.
