Experience, combined with open, honest,
one-to-one support.
How and why we coach
Praegressa’s combined professional coaching experience spans more than 20 years and while our background is corporate, our coaching style is nurturing and supportive.
​
The methods we use to coach give individuals the tools to reflect on their own strengths and values, to maximise their potential, and improve their performance. We encourage, we motivate, but without being pushy.
​
Our goal is simply to help people get where they need to be and feel positive, happy and strong in their role, through a human and friendly approach.
​
As a small team of associates, we can ensure any potential conflicts of interest between the individuals we work with are avoided through the use of different coaches where needed.
​
We find that the majority of our clients feel more relaxed being at home for their sessions, and so most of our meetings take place remotely. We are happy to conduct sessions in person, if preferred.
​
Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions about the way we work.

Emma has also led transition coaching programmes in a number of other professional service organisations.
​
Emma focuses on building a strong relationship with the individual, establishing a rapport in the first meeting, and coaching through one-to-one sessions.
​
Emma's compassionate and empathetic approach means she has a particularly good 'chemistry fit' with those who feel they need re-motivating, perhaps following rejection or a period of time away from work.

"Put simply, Emma creates positive business impact. She does that through establishing highly productive and engaging relationships with individual clients, their line managers and key sponsors, as well as a full understanding of the organisation's culture and strategy."
