About Coaching
We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we are striving to overcome, ideas that need a roadmap, and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a professional coach can unlock your potential and set you on a path to thriving personally and professionally.
Most highly successful people use a coach, in some form or another, to help them get to where they want to be in work or life or both.
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as “a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.
Coaching evokes a change process that mobilizes strengths, mitigates challenges, and optimizes the potential. The practice of coaching is a creative process designed to help clients clarify complex issues, see new perspectives, optimize performance, and fully express their core values.

“Coaching with Emily has been a transformative process. She’s taught me how to be more accountable to myself, reconnected to me to my core values and put me on a path towards living a more balanced, well-rounded and healthy life. I have discovered a vision, mission, and purpose for my life.
Through coaching, I’ve become a much stronger person emotionally and spiritually. I’ve been able to redefine what success means to me and become more open to new opportunities that I would have never considered.
Emily has helped me define what I want in a new career and helped me draw boundaries that if crossed, would compromise my new found balance and contentment with life. I feel very fortunate and have immense gratitude to Emily for being an integral part of my journey at this important life stage.”

“Emily’s guidance and insight have taught me to be more present and mindful while also being more comfortable with the unknown. As I have considered and acted upon what’s best for my growth, I’m more content and connected to my true purpose. Being coached by Emily is truly a gift!”
