If you are a ‘spike-y’ and ‘spoke-y’ agency I can help.
Your agency model is the future. But if you are a practitioner who is now running a business you are going to encounter the same challenges that I went through:
Feast or famine - an unpredictable pipeline.
No fly wheel - so you get very busy but you don’t build momentum.
Little or no business acumen - so you make the same common mistakes.
to name just a few…

“Conversations with Emma are exciting and energising. While her experience and insights are razor-sharp it is her ability to practically apply them to different problems, organisations and people which is most remarkable. If you need a nudge (or something more substantial) to focus your activities or clear the fog of uncertainty that surrounds creative and entrepreneurial endeavours there's no one else I'd want to talk to.”

She was totally transparent and shared lots of stories of how she dealt with problems and what systems she put in place and what she prioritised to grow.

“I felt a lack of clarity in my vision for implementing my entrepreneurial and societal goals. During our session, Emma was very helpful and offered an open and conversational space where she offered suggestions that I had not yet had knowledge about prior. I felt reassured, confident and positive about my goals, which enabled me to start to develop a strategic direction.”
– Chloe Oladipo

“Emma was completely non-judgemental and gave me considered advice - well, in truth, she drew out of me what I guess I already knew though hadn’t yet admitted to myself. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of having coaching sessions or just needs an experienced, professional and friendly person to chat through stuff with. I definitely felt like she had my back!”
