A few ways to work with us.
Leadership + Transformation
For individuals and teams
Navigate the inflection points that shape your work and life. We help you surface resistance, shift stuck patterns, and build the creative confidence to move forward with clarity and purpose.
Coaching
"Emily is a natural coach. She guided me through one of the most difficult transitions of my career—reconciling hard feelings about my job, leaving my role, and ultimately starting my own company. With her support, I worked through ego, shed old stories, and finally prioritized myself and the impact I wanted to make. I’m now nearly five years into running my own business, and I haven’t looked back. I couldn’t have done it without her."
What do people think?
“Coaching with Emily feel like a holistic experience, illuminating my intuition and bringing me closer to clarity, while also giving me tools for further exploration or implementation and frameworks on how to begin. I know that I never have to compromise on what matters to me, and I always leave feeling refreshed and hopeful no matter how dire the situation feels coming into it.
She is always on my side but doesn’t shy away from pushing me to find the truth for myself. I feel like I’m closer to myself during my sessions and she holds space for that. She helped me deconstruct daunting relationships or questions to see what is at the core. And she does it all with levity, empathy and humor. She’s a perfect storm. Or the calm before or after the storm :) Working with her feels like a process of unlearning, and rediscovering something in myself.”

Teams + Culture
“Emily was great. She brought such fantastic energy. She brought such meaningful and valuable content for our conference. She set the tone for the character of our organization.
Her informality + badassness made her so engaging. Her natural personality is perfection. By the last check-in meeting, we had incredible confidence. Then it felt totally above and beyond my expectations.
I am a very happy and satisfied client. So many people complimented her and the entire experience. I would 100% use her again.”
What do people think?
“Emily is an enthusiastic, high-energy facilitator who easily connects with her audience and is able to activate folks into being their most creative selves. Her presence is relaxed, confident, bright, and humorous.
I've seen her transform groups of professionals from being stern and cross-armed to being full of laughter and open to learning.”
"I had the pleasure of working with Emily on a city-wide, multi-sector innovation conference, in which she both helped plan the experience and acted as the host for the day-long event. Her expertise, positive energy, and commitment to meaningful engagement throughout the day made for an amazing event. I would happily work with Emily again in a nano-second."
Projects + Systems Change
Strategy & Alignment
For initiatives and organizations
Build the right team for the work. We help you tackle complex priorities, uncover actionable insights rooted in human and systems perspectives, and align around opportunities that drive meaningful impact.
“I would recommend D+ to any organization that needs to pull together a wide array of viewpoints into enterprise-scale plans that will generate meaningful support from internal and external stakeholders. D+ expertly fosters thinking about how to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts.
D+ listened to us and then patiently focused our ideas into actionable plans. The D+ team utilized their considerable expertise and experience to maximize the creative energy of a large, complicated group of university staff and faculty members.
D+ consistently kept our very complex project on track. A key to their success was adapting our work style(s) to their framework rather than trying to force us to conform to a predetermined template. The result was a process that fostered creative collaboration well beyond my expectations.”

“I’ve worked with Emily in a range of environments with audiences of varying sizes and skill levels. No matter the circumstance, she commands the crowd. She brings energy and enthusiasm to her talks and teaching, meeting crowds where they are and taking them to the next level.”
