HUMAN SKILLS for TECHNICAL PEOPLE

Speaking from the stage or the factory floor, Emily inspires technical people to embrace their human skills so they can become better problem solvers, team players, and leaders.

Plus: What if we didn’t have to be “one of the guys”?

What do your technical humans need?

Connection

Skills to connect with clients, teammates, and leaders. Confidence to meet them where they are.

Communication

Technical communication shouldn’t be boring. Clear language and simple visuals bring a message to life.

Creativity

Let the ideas out of the (suggestion) box and put them into practice. Develop, evaluate, implement.

Working with Emily…

REVEALS HIDDEN CONNECTIONS

Emily is a connector extraordinaire. She’s a connector of ideas, concepts, possibilities and of people. She has this uncanny ability to see those special connections between things that others simply don’t see, the true hallmark of a creative thinker and facilitator. Emily’s ability is a result of her openness to explore, investigate and to try new things just to see what possibilities might be hidden there. She does all of this with her trademark energy, curiosity and purposeful spontaneity. Whenever I get together with Emily to work on a project or kick the tires on a new idea, big things happen! If you need to open your thinking to new possibilities Emily is the code breaker I would turn to.

A TRUE PLEASURE EVERY TIME

Working with Emily is a true pleasure every time. She is thoughtful, discliplined and relentless in pursuing what she is passionate about. Even though Emily is an engineer by trade, she never lets existing rules get in the way of creating great ideas. I love the way she thinks so differently about any challenge she faces.

BRIDGES THE TECH/PEOPLE GAP

It’s easy to work with Emily, not only on the hard technical problems but also on the non-technical issues. She is insightful, inquisitive, persistent, and diligent. It’s not easy to bridge the gap in a technical environment, but it seems to come easy to her.

HELPS YOU ‘GET THERE FASTER’

In every engagement Emily brings energy and curiosity that are rare – she sees the best in situations and people, projects the future potential, and then helps fill in the blanks so you can ‘get there faster’. More specifically, I appreciate and respect her ability to reflect (both internally as well as in a team), to suggest (finding solutions and options) and to do all of the above with a keen eye to timing and why-not-try-it-out candor. If you’re looking for a consultant to bring these things to the party, then Emily is the one to invite!

YES, THAT IS POSSIBLE!

Emily has delivered high-energy and motivating talks to my audience about her practical engineering experiences in an engaging and creative way that remains memorable. One-on-one conversations with Emily about issues and problems leave me motivated to solve them, and thinking yes, that is possible!

Nothing beats a real conversation.

Connect via phone or Zoom and get right to the heart of the matter. If Emily can’t help you directly, she probably knows someone who can.
