Testimonials & Clients

"Emeli is truly a master facilitator of the human spirit. By creating a safe and trusted environment almost instantly, she allowed us to have authentic and real moments and quickly build intimacy as a team. Her natural wisdom paired with decades of experience result in a talent that is hard to come by. I couldn't recommend her more highly to organisations and teams looking to explore elusive yet crucial topics like inclusion, emotional intelligence and team connection."

Claire Pilley, The Difference, PwC
"Emeli is one of the most inspiring speakers and facilitators that I have ever come across. Her ability to read an audience and adjust her style to achieve real and positive outcomes is first class. "

Geoff Roberts, CEO, Seek.com
"Creating a space few people get to experience when trying to change behaviour. Dynamic, Raw and Courageous."

Michelle McQuaid, Author, Speaker PhD Applied Psychology
"The capability workshops delivered by Emeli were transformational for our organisation. Her expertise in experience design ensured that every session was not only informative but also engaging. Our leadership team left with actionable insights that we could implement immediately."

Kelly Hartman, Head of People, FinTech Africa
"This was the most engaging workshop on our AFL outplacement program series."

Paul Hallam, Founder & CEO, Six Degrees Recruitment
“They should run these workshops more in the corporate industry, it would create a stronger bond and unite people together. The workshop was great, easy to follow, encouraged others to be involved in activities and didn’t make it uncomfortable.”

Kerry Kapaspi, High Performance Group, NAB
“I would have loved the session to be longer, Emeli really believes in what she is saying - the workshop was incredible.”

Chris Tully, Talent Acquisition, NAB
"The impact of Emeli's culture and team cohesion workshops has been long-lasting. We continue to apply the principles she taught us, leading to improved performance and morale across our Board of Directors."

Rhys Cranney, Secretariat, Midsumma Festival
"The workshop had a MASSIVE impact on me during the intensive two days, and every day since. My life has changed. It took GRIT for me to stop what I was doing, where I was almost pouring from an empty & chipped cup, to completely stopping on focusing on the outward & truly, madly, deeply, connect & honour who the authentic me is. From this I have met so many incredible people."

Michelle, Grit Learning Program Participant
"It was beautiful. It forced me to face things I'd never brought up, to be open and honest and vulnerable. And to be ok with that. To be ok with being a man and feeling pain and sadness and confusion and not fighting it."

Paul, Grit Learning Program Particpant
"Emeli's facilitation skills are unparalleled. She has a unique ability to engage participants and create an environment where everyone feels heard. After her workshops, our team cohesion improved significantly, leading to better collaboration across all five venues."
