A few ways to work with us.
“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. Working with her feels like a process of unlearning, and rediscovering something in myself.”
"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."

Coaching
What are people saying?
“I came to Emily stuck in a rut. Emily gently—and almost subversively—disarmed my inner perfectionist. She helped me uncover the real root of my standstill, trading my instinct to make another pro–con list for the chance to reflect, gain meaningful insight, and grow more comfortable with not having all the answers.
Those insights now fuel my therapy practice, giving me sharper questions to explore and daily prompts that push my thinking forward. Emily’s superpower is her ability to connect without judgment, guide with subtle precision, and help you stop telling yourself where you should be, and start listening to where you are.”

“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.”
“Emily was great. She brought such fantastic energy. She brought such meaningful and valuable content for our conference. Her informality + badassness made her so engaging. Her natural personality is perfection. I am a very happy and satisfied client. So many people complimented her and the entire experience. I would 100% use her again.”
What are people saying?
"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."

“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.”
What are people saying?
“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.”
“Throughout this process, I felt truly seen by Emily. Her ability to read the room, understand where people are coming from, and tune into the social and organizational dynamics at play is amazing. We are incredibly fortunate to have her guiding us through this process.”
“That moment yesterday when the room “got it” will stand out as one of my best experiences at this institution! Thank you again for creating the space for that moment to happen!”
