Meet Emily
My first encounter with professional coaching was early in my career. I was keen to advance quickly. I was given the opportunity to work with a professional development coach, and I will tell you, I was not happy about it. My attitude going into it could be described as a foot-stomp meets hand-on-hip. It didn't take long for me to see it for the gift it was. In fact, a transformation occurred within me. All along, I had been in my own way and didn't know it. It wasn’t long before I was seeing results in the form of more effective behaviors at work, and the advancement I was hoping for.
Years later, I left my consulting career to become a professional development and executive coach myself. I had seen the meaningful results of professional coaching myself, and I wanted to help others achieve the same.
Today, as that first coach did with me, I accept new clients wherever they are in their careers whether they be seasoned executives or young professionals. From there, I work with my clients to understand their goals, objectives, and challenges, and the fun begins.
I am pleased to say this tried and true approach has never failed me. More importantly, it creates real value for clients and deep personal satisfaction for me.
