What I Do…
My Books
I dedicated three years to researching the key strategies that make us resilient. During that time, I travelled over 35,000 miles around the world to interview 50 of the world’s most resilient people. I call them our ’50 Thrivers’. Each of these Thrivers had faced adversity, but rather than be diminished in the face of trauma, they bounced forward to live a life that was deeper and more meaningful than before. I was lucky enough to spend hours with these remarkable people, in a bid to understand if they had insights that you and I could apply to thrive in our own lives, regardless of the minor – or even the more significant challenges – we might face. I found that we can all live by 9 key principles to empower us to grow in the face of all adversity, large or small. In my book ‘9 Secrets to Thriving’ I share the inspiring stories of the 50 Thrivers and their practical insights so that you can apply them to thrive, just like I have.

Resilience Webinars and Workshops
I love sharing the insights of the 50 Thrivers, and have been lucky enough to engage with thousands of people on the topic of resilience from all around the world through online webinars and workshops. I talk on all topics related to resilience, including how to build and maintain mental and emotional resilience, and how clarity of purpose can bring meaning to our lives, as well as on the crucial topics of self-care and wellbeing.
If you’d like to explore the possibility of an in-person or online Resilience Workshop for your business or workplace, please get in touch.

Keynotes and Other Speaking Events
Emma delivered her message as the keynote speaker at our staff conference with clarity, common sense and, most importantly, passion and belief in everyone’s ability to take responsibility and make improvements in our own and others’ lives.
The feedback I continue to receive on the positive impact of Emma’s message clearly demonstrates the power of her message and her skill in delivering it with warmth, humour and feeling.
