THE PERSON BEHIND THE COACHING
Hello,
I’m Emma.
Emma Woolman
CIPD-qualified HR professional,
coach and mediator.
I’ve seen the difference management can make to someone’s working life. I’ve also experienced what it feels like to be poorly managed.
Often, managers are doing their best with the knowledge, support and confidence they have. Many are promoted because they’re good at their jobs, without being taught how to navigate the people challenges that come with management.
After working in HR, mediation and coaching, I created Genuinely Emma Coaching to offer a supportive, confidential space to work through those challenges and develop practical ways forward.
“When managers get the support they need, everyone benefits.”
The manager. The employee. The team. The organisation.
Support grounded in experience.
My background includes 21 years at Tesco, progressing into management and senior HR development, followed by employee relations and workforce leadership work at Cambridge University Hospitals. Along the way, I completed my CIPD qualification.
In May 2022, I received Cambridge University Hospitals’ You Made a Difference award, recognising compassionate HR support and a commitment to people’s wellbeing. Read the NHS article about the award.
I bring my HR, mediation and coaching experience to a conversation where you can pause, explore your options and prepare a practical next step. We’ll focus on the challenge that matters to you and an approach that works for your situation.
