Assoc. Director - Medical Affairs, MSD
Having worked with Emma in many 1:1 and group mentorship session over the last 18 months - she has played a key role in my own personal development journey, helping me to continue to grow, learn and develop. Her coaching on emotional intelligence, conflict resolution and many other topics has greatly helped me to navigate the complex world of pharma. I couldn't recommend Emma more highly.
Sharon Campbell
Medical Advisor, MSD Ireland
The impact that Emma and her Thrive Method has had on my ability to execute as a medical advisor is phenomenal. I've gained a deeper understanding on how I can effectively manage and contribute to cross-functional relationships while prioritizing medical projects and tactics. I have gained confidence and clarity on the medical role and feel I am operating at a much higher level than before. I'd highly recommend the Thrive Method for anyone in the medical affairs space.

Emma is a remarkably insightful and caring individual committed to helping others hone their craft: The model that she presents has been of tremendous use in informing my personal and professional development; by consolidating knowledge from biology and psychology, it permits a more objective appraisal of oneself, and by extension a correction of behaviours that hinder optimal output. The insights gleaned from the course, when applied have has a transformative effect on my working life; I've felt more 'inner ease' in the workplace and am able to approach problems with a clearer, better informed and more objective mind. As a result, I not only produce a higher quality of work, but feel far more satisfied when delivering on projects and initiatives, the latter being a pleasant unintended outcome which I value far more than I realised I would. Thank you Emma for putting this altogether - you may very well have altered the trajectory of my career! More importantly, you have taught me that it's possible to maintain and sustain joy, happiness and peace even amidst the tumult of corporate life. Thank you so much.

It was a real privilege for me to have attended Emma's sessions which I feel reach further then Pharma. I certainly learnt some really important life lessons too! Emma has a wealth of experience in the Pharma industry and it was a fantastic opportunity to learn from her. She has a really calm nature and is an excellent communicator and I feel that having the opportunity to learn these skills is invaluable in any situation, both in the working environment and outside. I found her tips and advice on prioritisation really useful. I highly recommend Emma.
Ceara Belviso
Director Medical Affairs-MSD Ireland
I had the pleasure of working with Emma over a 6 month period last year and was so impressed with her professionalism and general approach to the project. To the extent that she assisted in a complete overhaul (resulting in marked improvement) of process. Emma also worked closely with my team running Emotional Intelligence workshops and the benefits continue to be seen months later. I regularly find myself and a team member referring to the workshops and subsequent learnings which continue to evolve. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma, if you and your team are willing to put in the (internal reflective) work, you cannot but benefit from the workshops that she offers.
