Testimonials
Emily has worked for me as a Project Manager. Her role has been/is, quite simply, too run the project on her own, with background support only from me. So she has had to be resilient and resourceful, diplomatic and energetic. She has stitched together two teams to work on two books, has managed them in every aspect of their work and has assumed total responsibility for her role and the results. She has had to engage with people at all levels of the Bristol political and NGO scene, and has impressed and charmed them all. Her enthusiasm and natural warmth have drawn people of all sorts to her and have enabled her to get the best out of all concerned. She has had responsibility for fund-raising and budgeting and has exercised that with imagination and skill. She is a remarkable young woman with a professionalism to match.
Emily is a highly insightful and proactive consultant who has provided KWMC with excellent service, contributing to organisational and staff development, reviewing systems and approaches to collaborative working. She neither loses sight of the practicalities of implementing change, nor the danger of not being ambitious enough.
Emily has exceptional abilities to make things happen. She is clear sighted when it comes to possibilities and her wide network of contacts and experience means that she understands the bigger picture. Her work with the Schumacher Institute meant that we developed a realistic funding programme, produced a coherent strategy for learning products and started a newsletter as a formal communication channel. People like Emily are rare to find – if you do, keep them!
Emily's work at the Gaia Coach Institute over the past year has been a godsend to us. In my opinion she is one of the outstanding professionals working in the environmental area today - she is authentic, brave and supremely knowledgeable about green initiatives and solutions. Her warmth, intellect and inner strength equip her to be an inspiring facilitator and coach.
Emily coached me in making important decisions and in running Open Platform, a programme that supports people to pursue a meaningful vocation in sustainability, more efficiently with respect to balancing the investment of time and resources without compromising the quality of the services.
I have always found her advice very insightful and she is a delight to work with. Emily’s multidimensional approach is a real asset particularly for third sector organisations with many demands and limited resources.
