In-House Training
Are you a grief friendly workplace?
Do you need a compassionate expert to help you provide a better environment for your bereaved employees to thrive, not just survive, at work? Or, do you want to provide a more compassionate service for your clients who are touched by grief?
Emma provides bespoke in-house workshops and talks to help you have a more grief-friendly workplace.
Talks by Emma
As a successful, independent business woman, Emma has drawn inspiration from her difficult and, at times, lonely experience of being a widow and a solo-parent to two young children and she can talk about:
Processing grief, why there are no stages & how to help someone who is bereaved
Why preparing for death & having tricky conversations is vital for peace of mind
Factors professionals need to take into account when dealing with potentially vulnerable bereaved clients
End of life administration: the emotional and practical considerations as well as the financial & legal aspects
About Emma…
Emma was a happily married mother of two young girls with a successful career as a solicitor, but her life was turned upside down when her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Emma was lucky enough to work within law firms that treated her well, both when her husband was ill and after he died. However, Emma knows that not everyone is as fortunate with their work colleagues and she is now passionate about encouraging organisations to understand how to provide the best workplace possible for employees and the best service possible for clients who are touched by grief.
Emma’s personal experiences coupled with her practical knowledge as a non-practicing solicitor and her grief and other training make her an ideal person to coach others about providing the best environment possible for those touched by grief to not just survive, but to thrive and to learn how to grow life around grief.
