Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

Feedback from In-Person Events:

"Emma has the ingredient that I always look for in people I like to recommend and work with - humanity. But it's more than that - it's the ability to combine that personal approach with absolute professionalism, wit and skill in everything she does. And she's great fun to work with!" - Andrew, Managing Director, Criticaleye

"Emma is a rare beast - smart, practical, creative and with a big heart which means she has put her career at the centre of what makes an employee's life better. She's a pleasure to work with..." - Morgan, Chief Strategy Officer, Saffron Brand Consultants

"We loved working with Emma. Feedback was that she was fantastic and we definitely want to use her again." - Katie, Navan Labs

Feedback from Virtual Events: 

"I had the pleasure of hosting Emma at our company's IWD event. Working with Emma was a breeze leading up to the big day. She understood exactly what we wanted to achieve and communication with her was extremely pleasant and easy. The event itself was a huge success - we had colleagues joining from our global offices and received only very positive feedback about Emma. She is a brilliant speaker, very personable, engaging, and extremely insightful. The topics we discussed included: the value exchange and the importance of person -led organsiational culture, the role of DEI in today's world of business, how we can Accelerate Action (IWD theme of this year), and how can organisations better support their employees to improve retention and work satisfaction. It was an invaluable discussion and we would happily work with Emma again!" - Milena, Director Asset & Wealth Management Consulting, Alpha FMC
