What's your next move?

 I had the pleasure working with Emily as my coach for a quite fundamental job change in 2023. This included Emily helping me prepare for a series of job interviews for a leadership role - interviews I was happy to be invited to but was seriously dreading. She helped me develop structure in my preparation and possible responses, focusing on my own experience, background, and strengths. She guided me through the job competencies and helped me explore which potential examples from my prior experience were most useful for potential interview questions. Most importantly, she helped me gain confidence both in myself and the interview process. She was supportive and encouraging with an empowering style of guided questioning that allowed me to be ready, and really feel ready, even for questions in complex competency areas like strategic visioning. When we discussed possible weaknesses, that might come up, she helped and nudged me to reflect, and truly understand how these can always also be strengths, and what I had already done to improve on them – a vital part of interview preparation. The whole experience was incredibly useful and the structure helped not just prepare potential responses but also remember what I wanted to put on the table during the interviews. She was instrumental in my obtaining this career milestone and I cannot recommend Emily enough as a kind, dedicated and effective coach.

 Emily was instrumental in helping me secure my new job. It was a long and grueling interview process and she was there every step of the way. She was generous with her time and quick with responses to emails (which she did not charge me for!). She was also very insightful and supportive. It was definitely worth spending the money for her services and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone going through a job transition.

 Emily is kind, empathetic, intelligent and self-aware. She manages to balance humor and light-hearteness with soulful self exploration and clear action plans. Emily encourages self-reflection through her inquisitive nudges which helped me see situations from a different perspective.I always felt empowered and positive after our sessions. One aspect I found particularly helpful in our sessions was Emily's wide and deep repertoire of coaching tools and techniques that she shared with me to help deepen our conversations and continue the exploration after our calls. After working with Emily I feel I am now better equipped to navigate life and career challenges with clarity, confidence and an open mind. Working with Emily has given me strategies that I can apply in all walks of life making my coaching with her invaluable to me now and in the future. I would highly recommend Emily for coaching. If she has workshops in the future, I'll be first to sign up!

 Emily is a fantastic career coach. She is supportive, knowledgeable, empathetic, and compassionate, so it was easy to build a trusting relationship with her right from our first meeting. Throughout our coaching sessions, she continuously challenged my attitudes and perspectives, encouraged a positive mindset, and held me accountable for my actions and goals. She asked thought provoking questions which helped me view my career challenges in different ways, and she provided me with resources and tools to continue my self-awareness journey outside of our sessions. My mindset toward my career has changed for the better since working with Emily, so I would definitely recommend her as a career coach.

Career pivot

 Working with Emily gave me a much greater focus and also, and most importantly, a more positive outlook to my current situation. Emily helped me see my situation in a very different light, and helped me to navigate my way around some very difficult decisions and life changes. Emily helped me to come to decisions in my own time and on my own terms, but her empathy and experience was an invaluable tool for me and I shall remember some of the coping skills and strategies she gave me for a long time to come. I feel not only Emily coached me in my current situation, but also gave me a toolkit to use going forward in my life and career. Coaching sessions with Emily were like a breath of fresh air. Emily is approachable, personable and very knowledgeable on coaching and helping people to make decisions and life changes. I looked forward to my sessions with Emily every week and I never felt pressured into changing or taking action I wasn't ready to do yet. Emily has completely changed my personal perspective on my current situation and made a real difference to my outlook. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
