Careers, unblocked 

For women who want more from their careers.

As a former Head of Talent, I've spent almost two decades understanding what makes people thrive - or not - at work (and in life), and how hiring and promotions decisions get made.

Now I coach people to get really clear on what they want, overcome the blockers in their way, and go after it with confidence - whether that's stepping up, changing direction, or redesigning a career that fits around life.

You're in good company...

GRIT 

Three paths, same underlying framework...

GRIT originated from Girls Rising In Tech - a programme initially designed to support women to thrive in fast-moving and often demanding industries such as Tech, Ecommerce and Consumer Brands.

I work with mid-career to senior women across a range of roles (e.g People, Marketing, Legal, Finance, Data, Tech, Customer) to help build careers (and lives) that feel rewarding and aligned. After spending 20 years in People & Talent, I'm hugely passionate about supporting women to thrive and reach their full potential.

"The impact was undeniable.

 

My manager has already reached out to share that they've seen a huge difference in my confidence, and we've even begun having exciting conversations regarding promotions.

 

I've come away with a much stronger sense of my own value and the confidence to navigate professional dynamics with ease."

About me

Hi, I’m Emma 👋🏼 

 

I'm an ICF-accredited Executive Coach with many years of real-world experience in People and Talent at some of the UK's fastest-moving companies - including ASOS, Apple, notonthehighstreet and Carwow. More recently I've worked with fast-growing consumer brands like Fussy, Spacegoods and Mother Root. Two decades inside the rooms where hiring and promotion decisions get made means I've seen first-hand what helps people be engaged at work, flourish and progress - and what often holds them back.

When I discovered the power of coaching, I wished I'd experienced it earlier. It's no exaggeration to say that it totally transformed my career, my confidence and my life. There's a very good reason so many C-suite executives have coaches - and I wanted to make that kind of support accessible to more people, not just those who are at the very top.

I'm Level 2 trained with Barefoot (PG Cert in Business and Personal Coaching) and hold my ACC accreditation. I draw on methodologies including systems work, NLP, positive psychology and Transactional Analysis to bring real depth to the work, and I've studied an Advanced Certificate in Neurodiversity in Coaching to supplement it.

I predominantly work with mid-career to senior leaders - Managers, Heads of, VPs and Directors - who want to grow & develop without burning out or lose themselves along the way.

 

Because we spend too much of our lives working, not to feel more fulfilled by it.
