Meet your chair
Emma, Founder and MD of Award-Winning business Real World Consultancy and The Strategic Circle.
As an award-winning business owner, Emma has a proven track record of helping small businesses overcome growth barriers. She founded Real World Consultancy in 2018 which to date has helped over 600 business owners to scale, and subsequently established The Strategic Circle in 2024.
Before creating RWC, Emma's background was across Portfolio Management ranging from delivery of large-scale programmes of change, to creation of company wide frameworks, through to board level strategic frameworks and consultancy at a senior level. Throughout this time, Emma's strengths in facilitation shone through consistently and she has always been seen as 'the facilitator of change'. This background fed her passion for strategic growth at a senior level, and while she was happy to leave behind the formality of board meetings and stringent governance frameworks at a corporate level, the key learnings and best practices have followed her to bring the 'best parts' of governance into the circle.
Emma is known for her engaging style. She is fast-paced and enthusiastic, which is infectious and can make even the driest of topics (like strategy and OKRs!) something you want to do and, not only that, enjoy! After all, what is growth if it isn't enjoyable?
