I'm not your typical HR consultant who shows up with a clipboard and a rulebook. Instead, I'm more like your strategic partner who rolls up their sleeves and dives in to find real, practical solutions. As one client put it: "Emily was brilliant not just as a service but a solutions provider".

Fear-based leadership is never a good strategy. It creates a toxic environment where:

- Innovation is stifled
- Open communication breaks down
- Employee well-being suffers
- Turnover increases
- Productivity declines

One of the things I see all the time that totally hinders performance in recruitment businesses is a lack of clarity around expectations.

This is often coming from a really good place. Business owners not wanting to recreate the restrictive KPI, fear driven cultures of recruitment past. Not wanting to bog down the business in rules, policies and complex contracts. I totally get it.

However, an all or nothing approach is really damaging your business and your culture.

So on this World Menopause Day I encourage organisations to really educate themselves - there are so many ways to support the people experiencing the effects of menopause in your businesses, and it will make such a huge difference to your people.

The power of accountability cannot be overstated.

Just like Olympic athletes who rely on their coaches for guidance, support, and that extra push, business owners need someone in their corner too.

Our sessions provide that structure and motivation, ensuring that goals aren't just set but actively pursued.

Watching my client's progress over the months has been incredibly rewarding. While the doubts and fears haven't disappeared entirely (they rarely do in the entrepreneurial world), he's developed better tools to manage them.

Think of performance coaching as your secret weapon for personal and professional growth.

It's not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It's about working together to unlock your potential and overcome the obstacles holding you back.

Performance coaching can be a game-changer.

We help you get clear on what you really want from your career (not just what looks good on paper). We explore your values, strengths, and passions to help you make decisions that align with who you are.

Whether it's starting that dream business, changing careers entirely, or finding more fulfilment in your current situation, coaching can help you navigate the crossroads with confidence.Isn't it time you took control of your professional journey?

Low confidence can hold you back from reaching your full potential. (I get 99.9% of my leads from LinkedIn these days)It's like driving with the handbrake on - you can still move, but you're not going anywhere fast.This is something I work with my clients on all the time.

We work on reframing negative self-talk, building self-awareness, and developing strategies to boost your confidence in a genuine, lasting way.

It's deeply rewarding to witness my clients' evolution, seeing them step into their full potential both as individuals and as leaders. This work reminds me why I'm passionate about coaching.

Have you ever felt like an imposter in your professional life? How did you overcome it? I'd love to hear your experiences and insights.
