Coaching
Are you feeling stuck? Seeking clarity in your role or life? I will work with you to set some clear goals, then offer the gift of listening and incisive questions, to help you navigate your route through whatever complexity you are facing.
How will we work together?
I see Coaching as a co-responsibility. I provide the space, time and prompts to help you gain clarity over areas of your life or work, free of judgement. You’ll bring the issue you want to think through and be ready to do the thinking during and between our sessions together.
What am I like as a Coach?
I’m a good listener and won’t judge you or your decisions. I’m playful so we’ll have fun, but there’s plenty of supportive time and space if things feel a bit darker that day. Fundamental to our time together is trust, so I will be honest and open with you and ask you to do the same.
What are my qualifications and background?
I trained with Barefoot Coaching and am in the process of becoming accredited by the International Coaching Federation. I’m also a Chartered PR Fellow with the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and Board Director, so I’ll bring years of business, charity and governance experience to our time together too.
How do you know it will work?
A good chat before we start will help us both know whether we have the right chemistry. We can meet online or in person and then you can decide where you want to go from there. I've added a couple of quotes from former Coaching clients below, to give you a sense of what it's like to work with me. Get in touch here or on LinkedIn.
I trained as a Coach through the Barefoot Flagship Programme and I'm a member of the ICF, meaning that I adhere to its core competencies, code of ethics and code of conduct.
The International Coaching Federation have created a great tool to help you decide the best way to support yourself when you're feeling stuck: coaching, mentoring, consulting or psychotherapy. You'll find it here.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MY COACHING
Through coaching, I've uncovered the power of reflective practice. Previously, I hadn't purposefully considered the moments that brought me fulfillment. This new approach has allowed me to pinpoint the elements that contribute to my sense of achievement and satisfaction, providing a blueprint for what I should strive for in my future endeavor.
There’s something about Emma that instantly puts you at ease. She’s genuine, authentic, and warm, but she’ll still challenge you in all the right ways. Her coaching style is engaging, encouraging, thought provoking and always sprinkled with a brilliant sense of humour.
Emma is a fantastic listener and asks very insightful questions. I loved the different tools and exercises she introduced as they really helped me to gain clarity.
She challenges me when needed and gives me time and space to explore my thinking.
