Business Keynote Speaker

From Chaos to Clarity: Guiding Ambitious Founders to Unstoppable Growth

I am pleased to be able to offer my knowledge and experience as a speaker at conferences, business festivals and podcasts.

With nearly 10 years of experience in helping businesses to grow and thrive, I am happy to speak about any topic relating to business, leadership and mindset.

My personal mission is to help as many people as possible live their best, true, ambitious life, exactly how they want it, and with total clarity.

Ambition means different things to different people and it changes over time. What matters most to me is making sure everyone knows what their real ambitions are right now, and achieves them!

An award winning Business Coach | About Emma May Fishlock

Meet Emma, an award-winning founder who's a self-professed "Bridget Jones of business"—unpolished, unfiltered, and always grounded in the "realness" of business, life, and relationships.

Emma's world revolves around her family. She's a Mum to her absolute world, her son Albert, a loving (if slightly chaotic) wife to her wonderful husband Oli, and a daughter who cherishes her Dad and the memory of her Mum more than words can say. She's a loyal friend to her "soul sisters," and at her core, a creative soul who loves nothing more than to sing, perform, paint, create, and laugh! While she's an intermittent exerciser who always tries crazy challenges (but often lacks the "consistent training" part), you're probably getting the picture!

Emma's entire life is driven by her "why": to build a life centred around her family, making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
