Looking for intentional, personalised and supportive coaching for community leaders, change-makers and visionary leaders, so you don't have to experience burnout, overwhelm or feel like you have to go it alone?

You're in the right place.

Something tells me you're involved in meaningful things in the world.

And yet, something also tells me you feel you have way too much on your plate, trying to keep up with #allthethings and your calendar just doesn’t seem to have space for you to rest, reflect, re-imagine or re-align.  

You’re overwhelmed with little time and space for yourself or what lights you up.  You think to yourself:  “If I could just jump on a plane and travel to a far off destination, unplug from everything, without a care in the world” - that your mind, heart, body and soul would just miraculously re-energise.  

Everyone seems to need and want a piece of you - from the people you serve, your team, your family.  

Sound familiar?

 

As a leader, you already know that true growth, long-term sustainability and meaningful impact can't be met from the hustle culture we so often see in the world. You want to create and continue to put out meaningful work that matters without sacrificing who you are, your relationships and your wellbeing.

But you also know that as you lead with so much heart and with everything you've got, you've already got a lot on your plate and sometimes skirt the path straight to burnout-ville.

There's so much to do, not to mention how many things you've got on your mind. It's the deadlines, meetings, social media posting, partnerships, emails *ugh*, paying the bills, mentoring other team members, building and leading community - and all the strategy and creative energy needed to work towards your vision. There's still so many dreams and goals you'd love to begin to pursue....if only you had the time. If only you had the energy. If only you had the capacity.

 

That's why I'm here.

To help community leaders, changemakers and visionaries like you to carve out time just for yourself, so that you can have a safe space to rest, reflect, reimagine and re-align and the opportunity to work ON your business and life and not running around IN it.

“The specific questions that Emily asks, that’s my favourite part of this process. I’ve been able to work with Emily for awhile and having specific questions that allow me to get to the nitty gritty - that’s what helps me get over the overwhelm and create calm. What I really appreciate is the accountability from our weekly sessions and doing the work together with Emily as well as having access to immediate feedback. She’s really my pocket cheerleader!”

To protect the sacred time and space I create in honour of the clients that I journey alongside, I only work with a few people at any given time.

 

Please allow me to introduce myself….

Hi, I’m Emily!

I intentionally support community leaders and change-makers to rest, reflect, re-imagine and realign their work with what truly matters - all without burnout, overwhelm and isolation.

Previously, I spent 8 years in the media world where I had my own radio show where storytelling, multi-tasking and connecting with others was key. While working in radio and in my 20s, I founded a non-profit organisation which is now award-winning and globally recognised and regularly serves children and young people from vulnerable neighbourhoods to lead fulfilled lives through a safe and trusted community space, meaningful mentorship and experiences. For over a decade that I’ve been in the social impact and community building space, I’ve worked with partners such as Ben & Jerry’s, Singapore Airlines, Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce and more. My story has appeared in the news and my life’s service has been honoured by Singapore’s President, recognised by Tatler’s Generation T list, selected by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and named one of the most inspiring leaders in the world by Facebook.

In other words? I’ve been where you are (both the good and the not-so-great parts of it)!

My zone of genius is in creating brave spaces and belonging, making people feel seen, valued and heard and coaching people to live their dreams instead of chasing them on a hamster wheel of endless productivity and hustle. I continue to remote-lead my non-profit working from home after years of experiencing my own trials, frustrations and…burnout. A burnout so bad that I collapsed in a public place and was sent to hospital where doctors with furrowed brows told me I was too stressed and overworking myself.

That’s how my journey of unlearning, relearning and learning new ways of living, leading and being started to unfold and continues to this day.

I’m met with amusement whenever I share with people what I’ve done in life and career - from having my own radio show to becoming a Nike Ambassador for South East Asia, from being burnt-out from the social impact space while leading an entire organisation on my own to making people do burpees and push-ups as a fitness instructor. I’ve done so many things but as I connect the dots, it’s clear to me that in everything I’ve done, I’ve always been energised to serve and support others to flourish.

When I’m not helping other change-makers and community leaders, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, Mark, our sweet and cuddly golden retriever, Molly and a home full of senior dogs we welcome to stay with us throughout the year. We love spending time in nature and going on road-trips. In fact, it’s one of the reasons we plan our year intentionally so that we get to go on a road-trip at least every quarter of the year to unplug together. I have an Australian accent even though I was born in Malaysia, raised in Indonesia, Singapore and Australia.

A big part of why I do what I do today is that I hope that through coaching, you’ll discover what’s important to you, what matters most and how you wish to live a meaningful life. Whether you decide it’s spending time at home with your family, exploring a hobby that brings you joy or working for a cause you wholeheartedly believe in - I’m here for you so you can work on your business not just in it and can finally live and lead a flourishing life that’s true to you and who you are.
