About Emma Steenson

Hi, I’m Emma.

I support SMB business owners and leaders in uncovering what they truly want from life – their version of happy. Through personalised coaching we move away from being stuck in the daily grind and instead build a more fulfilling experience.

Like me - you can find a path to your version of happy.

I have 20 years’ experience as an entrepreneur and have been faced with the same challenges:

  • How to balance expectations with living a happy life.

  • Working hard for the achievements and stuff I was told I needed, but in the end was still not satisfied.

  • Stuck on a doom loop, doing the same thing, hoping for different results!

I believe in a future where we can move away from the stories we were sold about what we should be and do, and discover a more balanced and fulfilling life.

“The sessions have made me slow down and take stock of where I am, how I got here and where I’m going instead of purely focusing on the ultimate goal, which meant I wasn’t really ever satisfied. It’s been an important revelation for me as before I felt overwhelmed and achievements weren’t worth celebrating, but I’m now allowing myself to be proud of the smaller steps and to not take these small achievements for granted.”

More specifically, Emma's coaching helped me when entering into pay rise conversations for the first time and gave me the confidence to understand and voice my value. The sessions completely sold to me the value of coaching, especially in those key career moments and I'd absolutely recommend Emma for our work together.
