WHAT’S YOUR “NEXT?”
HELLO!
I’m Emily, and I've probably walked in your shoes.
I've changed careers and embraced new roles at organizations of all sizes in all sectors. I’ve worn many hats as a corporate executive, nonprofit leader, and educator – and I’ve always found fulfillment in supporting others through personal growth and development.
I delight in the company of like-minded, fellow travelers who are all trying to navigate life’s changes and absurdity in their own way, every day. I focus my practice on late(r)-career professionals and mid-life humans because, well, I’m right there with you on this journey. We’ve checked the proverbial boxes, and we’re ready for something that fuels and nourishes us in new ways as we look ahead.
Drawing from my personal journey, my clients’ aspirations and struggles, and the latest research (nerd alert!), I’ve honed my approach and roadmap to help you cultivate your best, full Self – now or in your Post-Career Life.
I bring a client-tested framework, skillful facilitation, deep compassion, and a snarky sense of humor to my collaborations. Here’s how we can work together:
WORKSHOPS & RETREATS
Solo or series sessions for companies,
organizations, and associations
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
A personal partnership designed around
your next chapter.
SMALL GROUPS
Communities for shared inquiry, insights, and camaraderie
MY PROMISE TO YOU
I bring big-time empathy because this stuff is hard and takes guts. We’re going to get REAL, and uncover what really matters.
You won’t faze me. I’ve seen it all and been where you are. I have lived workplace and boardroom realities, and absorbed the experiences of hundreds of clients and workshop attendees.
I create safe spaces for stuff you’ve never said out loud. Insecurities, embarrassments, dreams, and of course laughter (lovingly) at the ridiculousness of the human condition, and your flawed, precious Self.
We get it done. I will never lose sight of your specific goals. You’ll emerge from our sessions with practical insights and forward momentum.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I’ve always been a searcher and truth seeker. In fact, my first pass at a college major was philosophy, but my “keep it real” inner voice led me to psychology, a teaching credential, and my first job. Onward, upward, high-achieving me took it from there into a successful career as a corporate and nonprofit leader, a marriage (actually two), and two amazing boys (now young men).
But curveballs have always found me – don’t they find us all?! – and a hard, fast one came in the form of an unplanned “retirement” in my 50s. Cue an intense emotional roller coaster ride. The downs were DOWNS, but the ups helped me find new ways to tap into what mattered, and discover new joys.
As I reflected, I realized that supporting others’ growth and development had been a fulfilling though-line in every personal and professional role I’d ever held. In 2017, I formalized my coaching practice, and earned my Certified Professional Coach (CPC) credential in 2022. And for almost a decade, I’ve helped countless strivers – executives, community leaders, caregivers, and more – tap their inner seekers and discover Self-FULL ways of being in their next chapters.
