👋 Hey I’m Emma, founder of LeaderX
I’m on a mission to rehumanise the workplace and empower people to lead with humanity, intention and impact in this new era of work.
Brands I've worked with
Across my career, through a mix of employment, associate consultantcy, and advisory collaborations, I've had the privilege of working with many great brands, and here are just a few. This does not imply a direct contractual relationship.
Our Story
Meet Emma - former C-Suite Director of People, leadership expert, facilitator, executive coach and speaker.
Her work has always centred on one question:
"How do we help leaders develop the self-awareness and emotional intelligence needed to lead with clarity, courage and real impact?"

Emma grew up in Lancashire and now lives in Manchester.
It’s fair to say she was doing things her own way long before she had the language to explain why.
She has always felt things deeply, sensed what people weren’t saying, and asked thoughtful questions. What once felt like a quirk was, in fact, the beginning of her leadership story.
For the past 25 years, Emma has supported senior leaders and teams in complex, fast-paced and high-pressure environments. Her work focuses on helping leaders create the conditions for high performance and lead well when the pressure is on.
In her early thirties, Emma became more intentional about understanding herself and the people around her, and everything changed. She grew more resilient, built stronger relationships, and began creating the life she had always imagined.
What she didn’t realise at the time was that her fascination with people, psychology and performance would go on to form the foundation of her business and her mission.
The insight that changed everything
Most of what drives great leadership starts on the inside.
We are never “just” the roles we hold. We lead from our ‘humanness’, who we are as a whole person.
When leaders understand themselves more deeply, everything shifts. They communicate more clearly, make better decisions, and show up in ways that positively influence others.
That insight became the basis of her Inner Clarity → Outer Impact Leadership Method™.
Today, Emma’s work focuses on helping leaders and teams understand themselves well enough to build trust and adapt effectively in complex, fast-moving environments.
When leaders strengthen their inner world, everything shifts:
🧭 They flex their approach without losing who they are.
💫 They influence others effectively to create momentum.
💬 They communicate with clarity and build alignment.
😌 They make sound decisions under pressure.
❤️ They build stronger, more trusting relationships.
Leadership isn’t reserved for the few at the top. It belongs to anyone willing to lead with compassion and courage.
Our work helps you lead from within, no matter your role, and use that clarity to elevate the people around you.
The LeaderX Way
Our approach blends performance psychology, behavioural science and human connection. It goes beyond theory to create real shifts in mindset, behaviour and impact.
What drives us:
💬 Connection First
We value connection. People grow when they feel seen, understood and safe. Real conversations build the trust that makes sustainable change possible.
💡 Create clarity
We help you cut through the noise so you can focus on what matters. Through reflection, thoughtful challenge and a fresh perspective, we make sense of complexity so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
✅ Make it actionable
Insight only matters when it shifts behaviour. Using tools grounded in performance psychology and conscious leadership, we help you turn awareness into meaningful action that sticks.
📈 Empowering Growth
Everyone has untapped potential. We create the conditions for leaders to grow with confidence, stretch their capability and move towards the impact they’re built for.
🌟 Impact that lasts
We don’t do “one-and-done.” Sustainable change is built through consistent practice, not quick fixes. We help leaders and teams strengthen the habits, confidence and connection that create long-term impact and healthy cultures.
