Emma Smith Coaching

Having worked with Emma for several years as a client and a colleague, she is a valued thought partner. As a busy leader, Emma has rapidly turned my business briefings into actionable learning deliverables that drive strong business outcomes. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Emma as a trusted and seasoned professional

Emma fostered an inclusive atmosphere, blending her vast knowledge with a welcoming space for questions and shared experiences. The engagement with both Emma and fellow participants was hugely enriching, turning a mere hour into a profound learning experience. This session didn't just enlighten me—it transformed my professional perspective and left me feeling inspired and more empowered to take action.

Emma is a fantastic person to work with. High energy, creative and inspirational. Emma is great at building effective relationships at all levels in a business and is able to deliver results by working with and through the organisation. Whenever faced with a challenge, Emma will always develop a series of options and ideas - and then most importantly, make it happen!

Emma is a personable, seasoned professional who is able to make things happen. With Emma’s knowledge, support and experience we were able to make great progress on a number of fronts including a leadership framework, senior leader induction, leadership programme, and coaching solutions

Working with Emma has been amazing. She's helped me to become a lot clearer on my motivators and the skills that drive me. The coaching sessions have enabled me to get to know myself better and have helped show me how I can be authentically me in my career. I've learnt to stop putting limitations on myself and have gained the confidence to make meaningful and strategic changes. I'd recommend her to anyone

Emma cuts through the corporate noise to coach the person, not just the role. Her blend of professionalism, pragmatism, and heart helped me uncover what truly matters and build the foundation for the next stage of my career. Her warmth and humor created the trust I needed to challenge old thinking and explore new possibilities. Thank you Emma. If there were stars, you'd get 5 (out of 5)

Emma takes the time to really understand people. She helped me shift my perspective to what was really important to me, rather than the superficial things I thought had personal value. Where I am right now is a far cry from where I was and I could not be happier. If you want to really find out what is important which in turn will positively impact change in your life, please speak to Emma!

If you are after someone to tick box's and deliver a standard industry Leadership development programme – then Emma is not for you. If you want someone who has the Network and experience to provide tailor made programmes which excite ,challenge and really deliver for every individual - this is what Emma does really well. I’ve been lucky enough to have been on a year long voyage of discovery under Emma’s direction. The onus has always been on the individual – and how honesty ,authenticity and personality combine to make us better leaders.

The greatest example of her influencing skills, business acumen and knowledge of L&D was the way in which she went about building a true coaching and feedback culture at Camelot. In fact, anyone looking to deliver large scale cultural change programmes could learn a lot from Emma's approach. By focussing on engagement and active participation from the executive team, developing a group of "master coaches" to support the other managers in the business and subsequent learning festivals to embed and turbo charge the programme, she achieved something quite brilliant.

"Emma is a great thought leader. She understands fully how to engage with a business, taking a strong partnering role to develop personalised effective solutionsthat drive real, demonstrable change. I aspire to have the capability and credibility that Emma has gained at some stage in my own career. If you have the opportunity to work with her in any capacity you should grasp it firmly with both hand."

"I found Emma to be positive, flexible and able to take ownership on multiple projects simultaneously. Emma remained focussed on what was required, whilst finding a range of solutions to solve business challenges. I very much enjoyed working with Emma and would love the opportunity to do so again."

"I worked with Emma on a large and highly challenging transformation programme. She proved extremely adept at mobilising a team to deliver her vision, with outcomes that provably improved performance across the company. Working with senior teams on their own leadership development can often be a tough task. Emma’s informal, yet direct manner enables her to successfully tackle really difficult conversations in a way that builds deep trust and great relationships with her stakeholders. If you're after honest, actionable advice and a fresh perspective on your team’s development, I’d strongly recommend giving Emma a call."
