Hi there, I'm Emily!

Growing up as a farmer's daughter in rural South Australia, I learned the value of hard work, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. Little did I know that these foundational lessons would shape my future and lead me on an extraordinary journey.

My path has been anything but linear. After initially pursuing studies in psychology, life had different plans for me. This early deviation became the first of many twists and turns that would ultimately lead me to my true calling.

For over 25 years, I've immersed myself in the world of HR and coaching, working with some of the most innovative organisations and inspiring leaders across the globe. My path has taken me from the bustling streets of Hong Kong to the vibrant chaos of Mumbai and Delhi, from the towering skyline of Chongqing to the cultural tapestry of Taipei. Each move, every two years, brought new challenges and invaluable insights into diverse business cultures and practices.

But it was during a seemingly ordinary evening at home that my true purpose crystallised. As I found myself overreacting to my eldest daughter spilling a glass of milk, I saw fear in her eyes – a moment that became my catalyst for change. I realised that to be the mother, wife, and professional I wanted to be, I needed to rediscover myself and harness my strengths.

This personal transformation led me to create The Leap To Lead. Drawing from my global experience, my understanding of business intricacies, and my passion for supporting women, I now dedicate myself to empowering women to take control of their lives and businesses.

As a transition and leadership coach, I bring a unique blend of practical business acumen, intuitive guidance, and a global perspective to help women navigate their own squiggly lines of life and career. I understand the challenges of balancing family, personal growth, and professional ambitions because I've lived them.

My mission is clear: to support women in taking the leap to lead their own lives by building solid business practices. Whether you're starting a new venture, growing an existing business, or seeking a major life transition, I'm here to help you clarify your strengths, define your purpose, and take purposeful action towards your goals.

With The Leap To Lead, I'm not just building a business; I'm creating a legacy for my daughters and for women everywhere. I want to show that it's possible to design a life that aligns with your values, embraces your passions, and allows you to be present for what matters most.

Are you ready to take the leap and lead your own life? Join me, and let's write the next chapter of your story together. Because you deserve to live the life you've always wanted – and I'm here to help you make it happen.
