About
Emma
Hello - I’m Emma. I’m a European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) accredited coach practitioner who empowers individuals to live, work and lead in alignment with their core values.
I help clients to get clarity on who they are at heart, what they want, and how to get there.
I’ve spent nearly two decades in rail industry property development. I qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in this male dominated arena, while balancing bringing up two children and climbing the career ladder from part-time secretary through to Principal Development Manager. When I was given the opportunity to train as a Coach, I jumped at the chance. I have worked with clients both inside and outside of the organisation and have seen first hand the transformation that happens through the coaching process (including in myself!)
My style has been described as gentle, calm and grounded, where I listen with intent and challenge with compassion.
I also trained in team coaching through the Association of Coaching.
I hold a BA (Honours) in French and Italian (University of Southampton); a Post Graduate Diploma in European Business Administration (University of the West of England); and a Masters in Real Estate Management (University of the West of England). I am a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
I live and work in the Southville area of Central Bristol.

A bit about the importance of values at work

Values are the “non-negotiables” of how you want to live and who you want to be while doing it.
When you live and work in alignment with your values you are energised. When you don’t, this creates the internal tension that psychologists call cognitive dissonance. The science shows that, long term, this can take a serious toll on your health and wellbeing, including increased stress and low self-esteem, through to burnout.
What are the benefits in the workplace?
When employees feel seen and heard, and are given the opportunity to work in alignment with their values and purpose, research shows they will give of their best to the organisation (avg. +10% increased productivity).
When leaders lead with integrity and compassion they build loyal teams.
When organisations embrace integrity, compassion and individual purpose, they see improved results too.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!
I believe in the importance of giving yourself space to sit with the challenges and explore who you are at heart. That understanding your natural essence and identifying patterns and thoughts which do not serve your growth is a powerful gift.
I believe that your greatest investment is an investment in yourself.
I am passionate about the case for work culture to be more empathetic and connected. My experience as a woman and mother, working in hierarchical male-dominated industries, has given me clear insight into how toxic workplaces can be. I truly believe that when we make the workplace a place where women feel comfortable and can flourish, we make the workplace a better, healthier and more fulfilling place for EVERYONE!
What my Clients Say
“Emma provided a safe space where I was able to say what I was thinking without fear of repercussions or judgement. Coaching kept me in control of what I wanted the outcomes to be and how I was going to achieve them. I feel I have grown and developed through coaching - I have renewed my passion and enthusiasm and have a new sense of purpose and direction in my working life.”
Becky - Property Professional
“I found Emma very calm and patient to work with. She was very good at asking questions which allowed me to come to the answer naturally, or solve a problem in my own way.”
Ed - Rail Industry
“Emma’s questioning and teasing out of me things about me which make me tick and that are really important in a future role has been enormously useful. It has helped to give me a clarity of direction and understand better what I want to do and why I want to do it. I am very much in Emma’s debt.”
Laz - Estate Agent
“Coaching has been a wonderful experience. I have specifically benefitted from gaining more clarity on where I want my career to go as well as developing the confidence to challenge effectively and be more assertive. Emma was incredibly intuitive and encouraging in helping me discover what I want from my career and what would make me happy from it.”

We spend nearly 1/3 of our lives at work - so let’s make it count by having meaningful conversations around who we are and who we want to become.
