Our Leadership
“Hi, I’m Emma! I founded Real World Consultancy in 2018 to help small businesses overcome barriers to growth.
At a senior leadership level, my background was in analysis, change management, project and programme frameworks. It was this knowledge and experience, combined with my passion for SMEs and coaching, which led me to create a coaching and support method that has now helped more than 500 business owners.
One of the most important tasks for me has been finding business coaches who fully align with the values and approach of Real World Consultancy. We are known for our fun, ‘real’, and engaging approach to strategy and growth, and I'm proud of that.”
