Welcome to the
COACHING LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (CLA).
A Constraints-Leveraged Approach to
Maximizing Performance.
Where the art and the science of coaching finally meet.
Where leaders learn to communicate with clarity, ignite curiosity, and bring out the best in others — just like the greatest coaches do on the court, in the locker room, and inside high-performing teams.
The science gives you the frameworks, models, and evidence-based tools.
The art teaches you how to read the play — the energy, the timing, the human behind the behaviour.
Together, they create a powerful way of leading:
Coaching that drives success in sport and business, especially under pressure.
If you're ready to elevate performance, build trust, and transform the way you lead, the Coaching Leadership Academy will show you how to coach with purpose, presence, and impact.
MEET COACH EM
In a world moving faster than ever, Coach EM brings the spark leaders need to stay grounded, energized, and performing at their best. She’s an Energy & Performance Coach who helps leaders, teams, and coaches turn pressure into purposeful action—and lead with heart, head, and gut.
With 30+ years of global coaching experience—from elite sport to top-tier organisations—Coach EM is known for transforming motivation into activation. Her work doesn’t stop at inspiration; it changes how people think, communicate, and lead—every day.
A former Division I college tennis athlete, world team coach, and proud Australian representative on 20 occasions, Coach EM now brings that same competitive grit and compassion into the corporate arena. She’s been recognised as Top New Vistage Speaker (2024), PTR Impact Award recipient (2025), and Colorado Coach of the Year (2021).
What sets Coach EM apart is her Coaching Leadership Academy (CLA) approach—a practical, constraints-leveraged methodology that moves leaders beyond theory and into real behavioural change. CLA focuses on environment before performance, helping leaders create the conditions where people can think clearly, take ownership, and perform under pressure.
Coach EM specialises in building coaching cultures that stick. She believes leadership is felt—not forced—and that the best leaders create environments where people feel safe to grow, stretch, and succeed.
Her signature toolbox blends proven coaching frameworks, energy management strategies, and her trademark CAT curiosity techniques. Most importantly, she teaches leaders how to trust themselves, ask better questions, and build mindsets that work with them—not against them.
Whether she’s facilitating leadership teams, delivering keynotes, or shaping emerging leaders across industries, Coach EM stands for one mission:
✨ Inspire. Improve. Impact.
