About Me

Before becoming an Executive Coach, I worked for 25 years in the Media Industry in London and New York for the BBC and Warner Bros.

I moved into a new role in Talent Management and in 2012, became the Head of Talent at Fremantle, a global media company with headquarters in Soho.

I was responsible for headhunting and hiring talent across the company and worked closely with the senior leadership team on Talent Strategy and Acquisition. Part of my role was to grow our talent pool so I created and launched new initiatives to attract more diverse talent to work with us.

I also worked with staff supporting them on how to build successful working relationships, often in a high stress environment and how to manage teams and manage upwards. I helped staff to network effectively internally, introducing them to colleagues in different disciplines and externally with my personal contacts so they could forge new professional relationships and develop their careers further.

During my time in the role, I sat on the RTS Futures Committee, ScreenSkills Select Committee Advisory Board and Ravensbourne Media Advisory Board. I have also been a guest speaker for the Royal Television Society and BAFTA Guru. I was described by Broadcast Magazine as ‘Having one of the best contacts book in the industry.’

Since launching my coaching and consultancy practice, I have worked with clients across a wide range of industries including Broadcast, Tech, Data Media, Advertising, Design and SMEs. Alongside my coaching and consultancy practice, I run a 1,500 member networking business for women which I founded in 2006. I was the winner of a place on Google’s highly prestigious accelerator for start ups at Campus London.

Why Coaching?

Coaching is incredibly beneficial because rarely in life do you get the chance to stop and think about whether you are happy and if your career is heading in the right direction.

Working with an executive coach in a confidential setting can be deeply empowering. I approach my coaching practice with empathy and curiosity and challenge clients to delve deeper into their thought processes and work with them to get the results they want.

I help clients look at behaviours that may be preventing them from achieving a more fulfilling professional life. I thrive on working with new people and coaching gives me the opportunity to do that by working with an incredible range of clients in a range of professions from all over the world.

I draw upon my professional experience to help my clients move their careers forward.

I am a confidential sounding board, helping my clients find clarity in what they want to achieve and how they will achieve it.

I challenge self limiting beliefs, I believe that better commercial outcomes emerge from people who feel confident in themselves.

I have extensive experience of helping people move up, sideways or into a new career.

Testimonials

"You make me feel fantastic and very confident! And you have done this by identifying and reflecting my strengths back to me, which has encouraged greater self awareness on my part. I think your coaching style is very dynamic. I really appreciated you following up our sessions with homework. 

Your big smile made the sessions feel warm and energising and fun!”

"We had the pleasure of Emily hosting a fireside chat, themed “Lessons in Leadership” at our YMCA Managers Conference. There were varying levels of management within the audience and Emily did a great job of ensuring there were advice and suggestions for all levels of management.

One of the standout aspects of the fireside chat was Emily’s passion and enthusiasm for the subject. It was evident that she is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping others to develop their leadership skills. Her extensive professional experience in leadership roles and her experience as an executive coach were balanced really well in terms of providing meaningful lessons. Emily is authentic with a unique ability to connect with the audience, whilst making complex leadership concepts accessible to all. 

Her deep understanding of leadership dynamics, coupled with real-world examples, provided our managers with practical strategies that we could immediately implement in our charity. I highly recommend Emily to any organisation looking to enhance their leadership capabilities, and to give their leaders food for thought!

We look forward to future opportunities to learn from Emily again. Thank you, Emily for an unforgettable and enriching experience."

"From the first moment I met Emily, she put me at ease and made me understand it was a safe space in which to speak honestly and openly.

I enjoyed her easy, warm speech, broad smile and intuitive discussion. She has helped me to re-frame the way I think and speak of my own career.

I have re-discovered an enthusiasm and excitement for my own progression and ambition that I thought had long deserted me.."

"This has been a transformative experience. I’ve really appreciated Emily's time, attention, listening, questioning and guidance – I’ve experienced this as a form of moral support.


I feel like I have achieved a number of long overdue goals and have a renewed sense of confidence and optimism from our time working together."

"Emily is brilliant and I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with a business topic.

She helped me gain more confidence and create a clear business strategy. I have spoken about the fantastic help I have had through working with her and frankly this feedback doesn’t even cover half the things that I have achieved in just a few coaching sessions with Emily."

"I really appreciated your positive attitude and belief in me, that helped build my confidence. I really valued your knowledge and expertise of the business sector, your ability to see positive outcomes and opportunities, and probably above all your natural ability to communicate in a positive, professional, boundaried and clear way when playing through hypothetical scenarios. This latter point has really helped me to develop what feels like a new skill in carrying myself and navigating through the professional world.”

“Emily helped me focus on how to manage my working life more effectively to feel more in control of my time, with the aim of finding it more professionally fulfilling. I found Emily's listening skills and interventions extremely insightful, and the questions she asked enabled me to delve deep into my own thought processes and barriers."

"I've found the opportunity to discuss with Emily, reflect on and update my perceptions to have been quite a profound experience. Multiple direct benefits have come out of it including feeling less stressed, more accepting of and more confident in my work situation.


I'm also learning that one really can change one's understanding/perception of a situation in meaningful ways, which prior to the sessions I'd been quite sceptical was possible, and as a consequence I feel I'm now more open minded to talking about my problems/goals in a similar manner.”

"Emily was an outstanding coach for an interview process I went through recently for a job I really wanted. She was razor sharp when it came to advice using her background in finding and hiring talent.

She also guided me through the interview etiquette using her own extensive experience in the Media industry.

I felt in the best possible hands on the journey. I can’t recommend her highly enough for navigating me though the process and would recommend her to anyone looking for a new role, or a return to work after a career break or wanting a new career path."

"I really benefited from being listened to, putting a structure in place, thinking about the future, stopping me putting up barriers, being accountable. I’d love to recommend Emily to future clients.”

"Thanks for an amazing coaching session, Emily. I was not confident with my pricing and I knew I was not charging the right amount for my services but I couldn’t figure out how to get it right.

However, the way you helped me break it down was so simple yet so helpful. You also showed me how to take a step back and look at my business model.

I felt a lot lighter even after the first session, I cannot begin to express how much working with you has helped me."

"I felt as my coach you demonstrated an acute sense that you understood what I am trying to achieve and how I tick. You also understand my business. As someone who works largely by themselves, working with you felt like an add on to my business, ie: fulfilling the role a business partner might fill in terms of being allowed to share ideas and perspectives. I gained clarity on issues and ideas I have been grappling with for a while.”

"Emily was a great listener and helped me gain clarity at a time when I was deciding the next steps for my business."

"I wanted to say thank you so so much for being my mentor through the tellymums mentoring scheme, you have been transformative for me!

You have been such a huge support and your coaching definitely helped me get my dream job.

In the interview I was able to put my finger on what I was bringing the company rather than what the company could do for me. I think this was central to me getting one of 12 places out of 750 applicants.

After years of flailing and lacking confidence, your coaching and mentoring definitely gave me the final targeted push I needed to succeed.

You are amazing Emily."

CV Coaching Testimonials

"Hi Emily, I am already feeling so much more confident with the narrative and presentation of my CV - once again, thank you so much for your help. Emily. Working with you has been one of the highlights of the programme."

"Hi Emily, I really loved our 1-2-1 CV coaching, it was so life-affirming. I went into the office the following week and when I left I really felt I had slayed some personal demons! Thank you so much again for all your expertise and wisdom!"

Booking a Discovery Session for Coaching

I will send you a short list of questions to establish what you think you need from working with a coach.

I will offer you a free 30 minute confidential discovery session to discuss your answers and how coaching or consultancy might help you.

I will only take on a client if I feel that working together can make a tangible difference to the client and if the client is serious about the commitment and hard work needed to achieve their goals.

I recommend buying a course of 4-6 sessions to start with, the client pays 50% upfront and then the remaining 50% after completing the first three sessions.

Clients opt for different schedules, some do weekly sessions, some bi-weekly or monthly.

It is more beneficial if you keep the coaching sessions consistently scheduled and avoid leaving large gaps between sessions.
