Executive coaching with Emma Gilpin Jacobs
“I create a confidential space for rigorous thinking and constructive challenge, helping leaders test assumptions, surface what remains unspoken and find a clear way forward. Where useful, I also draw on my board-level experience in communications and reputation management.
My approach is informed by an MSc in Coaching for Behavioural Change, which brought together behavioural psychology and neuroscience with group dynamics, systems thinking and organisational change.”
Emma Gilpin Jacobs
Clients often come to me when they are navigating complex change, a consequential decision or a sensitive leadership situation where communication, relationships and reputation matter.
Working together
Before you decide to work with me, I recommend a complimentary 30 to 60-minute chemistry conversation. It is an opportunity to ask questions, explore what you need and decide whether I am the right coach for you.
We can then agree the right conditions for our work, including whether we meet virtually or in person, the length and frequency of sessions, and a rhythm that supports you without adding unnecessary pressure to your diary.
If we decide to proceed, I ask for an initial commitment of at least six sessions. We can work flexibly around your schedule while maintaining the continuity and focus needed to make meaningful progress.
Our conversations are confidential, and I work in accordance with the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics.
About
Experience behind the practice.
Emma began her career as a journalist before moving into communications roles at Time Inc. and the Financial Times. She has since held senior international roles spanning strategic communications, philanthropy, partnerships and organisational change, including at The Pew Charitable Trusts. She served on the FT Executive Board and has a long-standing association with Shakespeare’s Globe Advisory Council.
Having grown up across Europe, Africa and Asia before building an international career, Emma brings a deep appreciation of different cultures, perspectives and ways of working. This shapes how she listens, builds trust and works with leaders across organisational and geographic boundaries.
Alongside her coaching practice, Emma continues to work in a senior executive role, keeping her understanding of organisational life current. She knows the realities of visibility, ambiguity and competing demands, and how authority and voice shape what happens in a room. Her coaching helps clients see their situation clearly, trust their judgement and choose how to act.
