Hi, I’m Emily

I’m a trainer and facilitator specialising in facilitation and innovation skills,
building programmes that change mindsets and enable businesses to grow and change.

My mission is building more inclusive and creative workplaces, and empowering others to do the same, through the power of facilitation.

Let’s work together

  • Training

    Experience my award-winning training aproach with a course on innovation or facilitation skills

  • Workshops

    Cut through siloes and execute ideas you can shout about with a bespoke workshop for your team

  • Events

  • Emily is able to strike the perfect balance between taking the lead with her exceptional expertise, while not overtaking - we were certainly along on the ride together. Her approach is wholly collaborative, respectful, and positive. We achieved so much more with Emily than I could ever have imagined going it alone.

  • Emily brings fun, creativity and structured methodology. I appreciated her immersive approach with lots of visuals, examples and small group exercises to help me learn. The workshop was delivered virtually and Emily had excellent techniques to maintain the energy levels of the group throughout. Emily supported me in diffusing the learnings to colleagues internally and she is always willing to make time for a quick chat whenever I need some inspiration.

  • "Emily is an outstanding facilitator and trainer. In just three days, she delivered a well-paced, engaging session that significantly broadened our knowledge and shifted our mindsets. Each concept was brought to life with hands-on exercises that reinforced the material. If you're looking to build an innovative team capable of rapid, iterative experimentation and successful delivery, I highly recommend her."
