As seen on:
Emily inspires, motivates, and empowers audiences with modern productivity, motivation, and goal-setting strategies to get more done without burning out.
The way people work has changed.
Businesses of all sizes can no longer expect or assume that their employees and freelancers will stick with them for more than a few years let alone a few decades.
Besides more money, the top reasons people leave their jobs include burnout, lack of purpose, and no opportunity for growth and development. (source)
This is why my keynotes and workshops are designed to support business leaders in focusing on what DOES have an impact: work that's MEANINGFUL to them and their employees.
Because when people are working in their own unique Zone of Genius, they get more done and are happier doing it.
Where it all began for
After nearly 10 years in Corporate America and a Master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I left.
And it wasn't because I was unsuited for the job. On paper, it was "perfect" for me and I loved it.
I left because I was burned out. The old way of productivity and expectations (more, more, more, more, more) destroyed my motivation and engagement.
I left because who I had to be to be successful was becoming too far from who I am. No amount of pay, benefits, or perks would have been enough to keep me.
Now, I speak to corporate teams, leaders and creative entrepreneurs to help them find a new way to work without jumping ship or burning out.
Where productivity doesn't come at the sacrifice of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
And meaningful work is at the heart of every day.
Signature Keynote Speaking Topics
-
Productivity and goal setting for creatives.
Let’s face it. Big goals don’t get big results. If they did, everyone would be making seven figures a year.
With this session, your guests learn to step away from the SMART goals approach and step into the SMALL goals way of thinking.
They’ll learn to take smaller actions each day or week to reach their big dreams in a realistic manner.
Your attendees will walk away motivated by a new perspective on goal setting. One that will support them in achieving *bigger* results than ever before!
-
Career development for corporate employees.
Gone are the days of hiring a great person and assuming they will stay with your company for the next 30 to 40 years. Companies no longer have the luxury of loyalty.
Employees today, especially Millennials and Gen Zs, expect more from their employers than ever before. They not only want great pay and benefits, they also want to have fun, be happy, and know their work is meaningful in some way.
At the same time, many of these employees are also overwhelmed because there are so many options. How do they know what’s right for them? How do they get what they want? What if they make a mistake?
To make matters worse, traditional career advice and goal setting aren’t working because careers today are unlike anything that has been experienced in the past. And, if it were as easy as setting a goal, everyone would be happy and engaged at work.
One way companies can support their employees at all levels is to help them discover their strengths, skills, values, and unique Zone of Genius so that they can align their work with themselves.
Whether that means growing in their current position or pursuing their next opportunity internally, employees will be more engaged if they are the right person for the role.
In this session, your attendees will walk away:
Inspired by a new goal-setting technique that will help them achieve more in their current roles and in their careers.
Empowered with tangible ways to approach the next level of their career with more clarity and confidence.
Motivated by practical steps that make it easier to take action and get more done.

Hiring as a solopreneur.
After getting my master’s degree in industrial and organizational psychology and almost 10 years of corporate hiring experience, I know what the best freelancers are looking for in a client.
And after struggling to find good freelancers for my own coaching business — I uncovered what it takes to land the most aligned freelancers for support.
And I’m ready to share all of my secrets.
Your attendees will learn:
How to identify the right role by using their own unique Zone of Genius.
How to write a job posting so the best freelancers will apply (this formula regularly attracts between 30 to 60 applications).
How to adjust the traditional hiring process so that it's easier to hire freelancers than before.
