Executive Coaching
Emma partners with c-suite executives, managers and entrepreneurs offering insights and strategies in pivotal areas such as leadership, communication strategies, resilience building, and personal development.
What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation, the gold standard for global coaching accreditation, defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change.
In coaching, you are the expert.
My role is to really listen, act as a sounding board, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives to get you to where you want to be.
I am an ICF accredited coach and will partner you on your journey toward identifying, clarifying and achieving your goals.
My clients have described my coaching as a catalyst for clarity & confidence; deeply supportive, yet challenging.
Why should I partner with a coach & what to expect during a session?
If there is an upcoming opportunity or challenge that you want to leverage, you feel “stuck” on the path to achieving your goals, or simply believe there’s something more to discover in your personal or professional life, partnering with a professional coach could benefit you.
Personalization is a key feature of Executive Coaching, with each programme crafted for your specific needs.
Our time together will include an initial discovery session, where we explore your coaching objectives. We will set up a coaching agreement so that we have a clear and safe framework to work within. The programme may include a personality profile, 360 assessment & stakeholder review.

I had some very challenging objectives both in terms of what I wanted to achieve and how I wanted to respond. Emma was a source of inspiration and guidance. She supported and challenged me in equal measure to ensure that I achieved what I originally set out to achieve. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma as a coach and a fellow human being. She is a warm, professional and an accomplished coach.
Vice President Human Resources Moog
Emma helped me to identify the real underlying need I had and to set the corresponding goals to reach in order to move forward. She then listened to me, encouraged me and supported me all the way. She has exceptional listening skills and a style which is low-key and yet very powerful, whilst keeping her sense of humour. All in all, a very positive and transforming experience.
GC - Hearsay
The first words I can think of to describe this wonderful adventure are the following: surprising, unforgettable, professional, serious, and enriching. The work based on reflexion and practice to go towards my Highest and Best has been extremely constructive and beneficial. I come out of this coaching experience with better knowledge of who I am and what I need to evolve as well as concrete actions to embrace my future in a better way. Emma helped me to understand myself better probably because she is a great listener and gives pertinent feedback. Emma knew how to point out crucial elements. I feel very grateful and thank her very much.
VM Communications trainer & manager
During our work together Emma has helped me resolve the challenges that brought me to her in the first place. Thanks to her listening skills and powerful questions I’ve rebuilt the confidence I’d lost and reached the objectives I’d set myself. She raised my awareness to the fact that my answers lie within me. I’ve gained clarity in what I desire both professionally and personally and have the tools I need to go forward. She delivers on her commitments and has great human qualities; I would highly recommend her. An adventure full of discovery and insights.

Mandy Evans
Emma coached me in my new position as team manager. Early on, I’d come up against reticence to changes that I wanted to implement. I gained a more positive, professional and appropriate perspective to the numerous situations I had to manage and identified the motivational leverage of my team members. Through her pertinent questioning I was able to step back and see the bigger picture, understand the team’s perspective and clearly define my objectives. With hindsight, I realized the importance of dealing with the expectations and fears of my team. How to get to a win-win solution. I had to create the space that encouraged open communication.I was able to manage daily hassles and build self-confidence. We laughed a lot too!
CC – Customer Satisfaction Director, Boehringer Ingelheim
Emma’s meticulous work methods, precision, genuine expertise, commitment, and insightful approach, empower those she guides to make lasting progress
MD Promotion & Investments manager ERAI
This coaching of a little over a year was a truly beautiful experience. Emma's methods and expertise helped me to devise an action plan that naturally led to the desired changes. A somewhat timeless moment that I can only recommend.
CFO – Vie & Veranda
I was coached by Emma in my new role as general manager. A challenging context, coupled with the renewal of the Executive Committee. The coaching allowed me to better understand my deeper motivation and obstacles, then manage & make the most of them. I improved my ability to manage stress and handle tense situations. This support was key in strengthening my vision and leadership. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without Emma's listening skills and capacity to challenge.

MBSR Programme
Experience the evidence-based, 8-Week MBSR program created by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an effective, scientifically researched method for reducing physical and psychological suffering whilst building resilience, balance and peace of mind.
Learning to practice mindfulness provides a way of relating directly with whatever is happening in your life and consciously responding to the challenges and demands of living.
MBSR is a nonsectarian & scientifically researched approach.
I experienced kindness and great attentiveness throughout this MBSR journey. I wholeheartedly recommend the programme.

MBSR – Mindfulness based stress reduction
What truly touches me, profoundly moves me, & shapes my coaching philosophy,
is my belief in our potential to create space
… space, so we may consciously choose how we respond to life’s trials and tribulations.
