Every piece of work is different to make sure it suits your needs.  From managing projects, research, through to training, coaching and acting as a critical friend.

You may have a specific output in mind, and I regularly deliver well-researched, well-written, persuasive, robust reports under these headings:-

  • National Lottery Heritage Fund Activity Plans or Area Action Plans

  • Audience Development Plans

  • Evaluation of projects, events, training and development programmes

  • Reflective learning

Consultation

With your audience or participants (existing or new); your staff, volunteers or Board; with potential new partners or stakeholders

Coaching

I am a qualified RD1st coach and can support you in your business, career, or personal life. If you want to find out more, get in touch for an initial discovery call to talk it over, no obligation.

After over a decade in one niche sector I was secure in my own role but when it came to considering new opportunities I was under-confident. I struggled to see value in my career to date, and stuck in a mindset where I felt my experience was of limited or no value outside my specific sector. Emma helped me unpick that thinking, helping me see for myself that I’d built up significant skills that could help me take the next step.

Emma creates a supportive atmosphere in which I am helped to reflect on, and then challenge, myself.

I’m now in a new role, something I couldn’t have imagined a year ago, and continue coaching sessions with Emma. The sessions give me a private space where I can share uncertainties, test out approaches, and be productively challenged to think strategically about my career.

It’s made the most incredible difference and I can’t recommend it more strongly!”. - coaching client, Louisa

I have a breadth of knowledge from working as a staff member in museums and galleries, then setting up 2 cultural businesses, being a charity Trustee, a volunteer, and working with 100s of different organisations across my career. 

I have a network of associates with whom I work regularly to bring additional capacity and knowledge into a team when it’s needed.   They are all trusted, well-respected consultants in their own right – I only like to work with the best!

I’ve been really pleased with the way your team have delivered the plan and final document is excellent. More importantly it is a document that we can use – it was also good that were able to ‘tailor’ the plan so that is was something that would work within our organisation. Your team got the right balance of listening to the client, but also pushing us in the right direction!
