Executive Coaching
Earning a position as one of London’s senior leaders can be highly rewarding, however it comes with significant challenges in terms of people management, strategic thinking and resilience.
Having an Executive Coach is now standard practice for senior leaders and those with ambitions to rise to the top, providing vital support and a confidential sounding board to help you survive and thrive as an executive in London.
I had the privilege of being coached by Emilie, and WOW! She is engaging, eloquent, approachable and captivating. She is a keen listener and gives practical advice.
I would definitely recommend her as a coach.

How can executive coaching benefit London’s senior leaders?
As an Executive Coach I will work with you to help you navigate the challenges that come with holding top level roles. This includes navigating internal politics, making clear objective decisions, making efficient use of your time and energy and managing your wellbeing and resilience so that you can thrive at the top.
Working both as an executive coach and leadership advisor in London I can help you develop your skills as a leader and your personal leadership style whilst helping you navigate challenging situations as and when they come up. It is this combination of reactive and reflective coaching that helps my clients to succeed and thrive as leaders, outperforming their peers and building high performing teams.
Whether you want to get promoted, maximise your impact in a new senior role, build a team or just be a more effective leader, coaching is an essential tool to achieving your goals. Giving you the time to step back, reflect and strategize, it is the most important investment you can make in succeeding at the top level.
Why work with me?
Combining my own experience as a senior leader in Investment Banking with my skills as an Executive Coach, I will work with you to build your management skills, ability to inspire and influence others and develop a leadership brand to help you succeed in and enjoy your role as a senior executive.
I take a client-centred approach, working with you on whatever you want to focus on at each session and provide flexible session scheduling based on your needs. I use my breadth of experience to bring the approach, tools and exercises that I feel will be most helpful to you including reflective practice.
I will also use emotional intelligence assessments and coaching to help you understand your blind spots, understand what might trip you up and develop new more productive behaviours.
Where is the coaching held?
Appointments are held in confidence and are available via video call or in person at your own offices in a Central London location.
