Our work is grounded in real-world business experience, advanced training, and a deep understanding of how people, teams, and organizations grow and change. We bring curiosity, care, sound judgment, and a practical focus on what will make the greatest difference for our clients.
Every engagement is shaped by the client, the business context, and what matters most. We meet people where they are, help them see new possibilities, and support them in building the capacity to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
We care deeply about our clients and feel fortunate to do work that is meaningful to us with leaders and organizations we believe in.
About Emily Rogers
Emily Rogers helps leaders, teams, and organizations build the capacity they need for what’s next.
Emily is an executive and team coach, leadership facilitator and trainer, and trusted advisor to CEOs, senior executives, emerging leaders, leadership teams, family businesses, and growing organizations navigating consequential change. Her work is grounded in a simple belief: as the business evolves, leadership must evolve with it.
Sometimes that means helping an accomplished executive become more effective at leading through others. Sometimes it means strengthening a leadership team so its members can navigate complexity, make better decisions, and work together more effectively. Sometimes it means developing leaders who are ready to take on greater responsibility, planning thoughtfully for succession, clarifying a strategic vision, or helping an organization build the leadership and organizational capacity its future will require.
The approach follows the need.
Emily draws from executive coaching, team coaching, leadership development, skillful facilitation, assessment, strategic inquiry, and advisory work—using what is most relevant to the business situation and most likely to create meaningful impact. She meets clients where they are, stays focused on what matters most to them, and adapts the work as the situation evolves.
At the center of her work is a deep curiosity about what is happening beneath the surface. Emily is known for listening carefully—to what is said and what is not being said—recognizing patterns, and asking the question that helps a leader or team see something differently. She pays attention to the beliefs, behaviors, relationships, organizational dynamics, and conditions influencing what is possible.
She is particularly at home in consequential moments: periods of growth, transition, complexity, or change when the path forward is not yet entirely clear and the choices leaders make will shape what comes next. She can hold complexity without making the experience complicated, helping clients see what matters most and move toward it with greater clarity and intention.
That perspective allows her to work comfortably at the intersection of the individual leader, the team, and the larger system. Throughout, the business context remains front and center.
Emily’s goal is not simply greater insight. It is greater capacity.
She helps leaders translate awareness into intentional action: delegating more effectively, giving meaningful positive and constructive feedback, having difficult conversations, making sound decisions, building trust, developing others, leading change, and creating the conditions for people to do their best work. With teams, she helps strengthen relationships and accountability, surface what may be getting in the way, align around what matters most, and build the capacity to address real business challenges together.
The real work becomes the landscape for development. Rather than separating leadership development from day-to-day business demands, Emily uses those demands as a living laboratory where leaders and teams can practice new ways of thinking, relating, deciding, and leading.
Over time, the work belongs increasingly to the client. Emily believes the most meaningful development builds capability rather than dependence. She brings perspective, experience, discernment, and challenge when they are useful—and knows when to step back, transfer ownership, and fade.
A business leader who became an executive coach.
Emily brings substantial real-world business experience to her work.
Before founding Emily Rogers Consulting + Coaching in 2013, she spent more than a decade with IEG, then recognized as the world’s leading authority on sponsorship consulting, research, and valuation. She joined the firm as Vice President of Consulting Services and ultimately became President & Chief Growth Officer, with responsibility for business development, consulting, valuation, and research.
During her years at IEG, Emily served as an executive leader and trusted advisor to organizations ranging from Fortune 100 brands to professional sports teams, entertainment properties, professional membership associations, healthcare organizations, and global nonprofits. Her client work included organizations such as Ford Motor Company, ExxonMobil, Visa, Unilever, The Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios, the United States Olympic Committee, UNICEF, the Smithsonian, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Girl Scouts of the USA, the Kentucky Derby, and the Minnesota Twins.
That experience still matters in her work today. Emily understands many of the realities leaders face because she has lived them herself: responsibility for growth, business development, client relationships, people, performance, competing priorities, organizational change, and results.
Since founding her firm, Emily has coached and trained more than 1,000 leaders across industries and stages of leadership—from emerging leaders and entrepreneurs to CEOs and C-suite executives of Fortune 500 and Inc. 5000 companies. She has designed and facilitated more than 350 leadership workshops and retreats, and many client relationships have grown and evolved over years as the leaders, teams, and organizations themselves have changed.
Her work often extends beyond the development of a single leader to leadership succession, strategic visioning, emerging-leader development, team coaching, and trusted advisory support—particularly during periods of leadership transition, growth, or organizational change.
A whole-person approach to leadership.
Emily’s work reflects both the practical realities of business and a deep understanding of human behavior and development.
Her approach integrates decades of leadership and business experience with advanced study in executive coaching, systems and relationship coaching, somatic intelligence, emotional agility, mindfulness, and adult development.
She has completed advanced Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching training through CRR Global, somatic coaching training with Amanda Blake, and Susan David’s Emotional Agility for Wellbeing at Work program. She is also certified to administer the Leadership Circle Profile™ and Collective Leadership Assessment™.
These disciplines inform how Emily helps leaders expand their awareness—not simply intellectually, but emotionally, relationally, and physically. Leaders learn to recognize patterns as they are happening, notice what their bodies and emotions are signaling, create more space between stimulus and response, and choose actions that better reflect their values, intentions, and responsibilities.
The disciplines inform the work, but they do not define it. Emily introduces an approach or practice because it serves the leader, the team, the organization, and the situation at hand—not because it belongs to a particular methodology.
Her decades-long meditation, yoga, and somatic practices further inform the grounded presence she brings to her work.
Leadership, community, and a sense of place.
Emily’s commitment to developing leadership extends well beyond her business.
She has served in volunteer executive leadership roles with nonprofit and professional membership organizations for more than 25 years and has been deeply involved in the Central Florida business and civic community. She has served on the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and has collaborated with organizations across the region on initiatives designed to strengthen leaders, businesses, organizations, and communities.
Her work and contributions have been recognized in numerous ways. She has been named among Florida Trend’s “People to Know” in Polk County and has been a finalist for the ATHENA International Leadership Award and Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Businesswoman of the Year. Emily also wrote a monthly leadership column for more than six years, has been featured repeatedly in Forbes, and has spoken at conferences across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Emily began her professional life as an elementary school teacher, an origin that still feels surprisingly connected to the work she does today. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and master’s degrees in Reading & Language Arts and Educational Leadership.
Across every chapter of her career, a consistent thread has remained: helping people learn, grow, see new possibilities, and become more capable of creating them.
Emily and her husband live on their family ranch in Lakeland, Florida. Surrounded by nature, it is both home and a grounding place that reflects the way she approaches her life and work—with curiosity, presence, intention, and respect for what is ready to emerge.
