"I’ll be honest, signing up for career and confidence coaching felt a little intrusive and scary!"

Michelle Brookes, Executive Assistant, on 1:1 career and confidence coaching.

I approached Emily at a time when I was seeking growth but lacked a sense of direction and what that might look like.

We covered so many topics in our six sessions together, from a very early ‘light bulb’ moment in me realising what I didn’t want to do, to being able to identify my brand and articulate the value I add – something I’d really struggled with.

Investing in myself was a big step but with Emily’s support and guidance, I’m now moving forward with clarity and direction in my career.  She really did create a space where I felt safe, empowered and understood.

If you’re thinking about your next steps, then I would highly recommend coaching with Emily, she has been invaluable in me developing clear and actionable steps to progress in my career.
