Public speaking
Are you looking for an inspirational person to share their story of finding resilience in the dark or to present on tricky topics such as grief, death and end of life?
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’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 being prepared for the worst and preparing the legacy that we leave behind.
Emma is passionate about encouraging people to face up to tricky conversations and the fact that none of us know what the future might bring.
