“The Atmosphere which Emily and Ruth created was interactive, engaging and fun which fostered participation. The Content delivered was stimulating and tangible, where I could immediately see how it would lead to my improved physical health, mental clarity and emotional balance. I thought I had a good grasp of managing my bias, but this was an eye opener. The combination of The Third Culture DEI content & Burnout Coach exercises complimented each other very well”

Ramin Nathani, Global PX Partner at Goodway Group

“Emily and Ruth have created a unique and impactful blend of leadership, awareness training and breathwork all tied back to how to recognize your biases and be more inclusive.

They shared thought-provoking theory and practical knowledge to help us understand how to be inclusive with each other’s Mental Health as well teaching practical techniques to ensure the theory can be implemented.

She is a great listener and she is always committed to providing her honest feedback.
Her professionalism made me comfortable in trusting her as a coach. It is an honour to be coached by Emily.”
