Hello and welcome!
I’m Emma Hackett
Leadership Resilience + Performance Coach.
I specialise in supporting stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted leaders to elevate their professional performance, without compromising wellbeing, for greater impact and business success.
Stress, overwhelm and exhaustion do not need to be the price you pay for success
You’re smart, experienced and accomplished but you’re struggling to meet the demands of your work and life.
You work hard and push through to keep in top of everything, but you’re exhausted and running on empty.
Your days pass in a blur of stress, overwhelm and anxiety. You secretly wonder how long you can keep going.
I have been where you are now
I was a new mum exhausted from months of broken sleep. I struggled to return to work after maternity leave and deliver a full-time role in part-time hours. Then my Mum died. The combination of sleep deprivation, extreme fatigue, chronic stress and complex grief created a ‘perfect storm’ of personal and workplace challenges that led to burnout.
I couldn’t understand why the job I had been working in for nearly ten years, had worked so hard to achieve, and knew I was good at … now felt impossible. I felt like I had failed. I worked with a coach to ‘sort myself out’ and it changed my life.
Since then, I have worked with hundreds of high-achieving professionals like you and often hear that chronic stress, overwhelm, exhaustion or burnout is the price they must pay for success.
I wholeheartedly believe it doesn’t have to be this way.
There is hope
However you’re feeling about your work and life, we can turn it around. Once you learn how to reduce stress, boost your energy and rebuild resilience, you will have all the tools you need to overcome your challenges, take care of your wellbeing and elevate your professional performance.
Each of my executive coaching programmes combine applied neuroscience, positive psychology, mindfulness-based stress reduction, emotional intelligence plus burnout prevention & recovery to help you re-create a life and career you love.
