Emma Russell
EXECUTIVE COACH
United Kingdom

Since leaving the corporate world, Emma coaches driven, visionary leaders who want to have more impact and be more fulfilled in their lives. Her work involves understanding the sources of energy within leaders that limit or hold them back. Once understood, the energy that was previously giving rise to self-limiting thoughts and behaviours can be redirected to living, driving improved performance, a deep understanding of self, and a sense of well-being. Emma works with leaders to ultimately help them see, understand and uncover their potential. She supports them to use their innate resourcefulness to thrive in complex situations. With a background in drama, she is passionate about communication, seeing it as the key to connection and inspiration.
Emma has over 18 years of experience in the corporate world and understands the complexities that her coaches face. The majority of her corporate experience was spent in senior finance, commercial and change management roles within Shell. Emma has been a leader for over 10 years and is passionate about human development. She has worked in the UK, Poland, India and Malaysia and led large multicultural teams, guiding people through changes and organisational transitions whilst being at a design level in many organisational changes.
