Emily is the travel industry’s coach and commercial trainer, who draws on experience from both sides of the negotiating table. Working across three continents and professional coaching and travel industry qualifications, she enables transformation through training, coaching and working 1:1.
Through Emily’s unique research and client work, she has defined the four key pillars to propelling your teams to greater success, based on her research and her client work.
The four training tracks are shown below:
Does this sound like you?
- I wish my team would step up and take ownership
- Communication is key, but when we aren’t doing it well, we don’t see returns
- I want everyone pulling in the same direction
- We need to be much sharper commercially, to gain market share
- Mental health and support needs have changed, so we need to listen and adapt
Emily has been amazing at helping me overcome self-doubt and lack of confidence.
Whilst there is still work to be done the stepping stones we have done so far have helped both personally and professionally. Each session I am left with an action plan and whilst sometimes old habits sneak back in, Emily comes back with kindness, grace and understanding by asking the right questions and checking in.
This is my first time working with a coach and I would recommend Emily any day.

Thriving teams are productive teams.
In March 2025, I surveyed 51 people in the travel industry to understand how they feel about their careers, and 53% are not happy where they currently are.
By analysing what these people want from their careers, and integrating observations from client work and personal experience, I’ve mapped out the five key stages on our Runway To Happiness.
And there is a distinct point where people begin to feel truly satisfied with their career trajectory.
You can read more about the Runway to Happiness and The Thriving Threshold here.
If you know that your team needs a bit of extra help to get there, get in touch.

Emily conducted a specialist piece of research, in which 51 commercial professionals in the travel industry shared their career experiences; the challenges they face, their aspirations, and what they’d like to improve upon.
As a career coach and commercial trainer serving this space, she is thrilled to share with you the analysis of the data and her opinion on what we can ALL do to improve.
Emily is a great coach, who always holds space for me during our sessions so that I can best describe my difficulties and get the best advice I can from her.
We always run through various approaches to see what might or might not work, and most importantly, what feels right for me. It’s never just a check-box exercise but a personal approach.
