I've been working with Emma over the last two years through her Thriving Women program. Emma is the most generous and caring coach you could imagine. She truly cares about each and every one of her clients. She can pivot to what you need from her on any given day and isn't afraid to tell you what you need when you need it. I've had to navigate a number of challenges over the last two years and I don't think I would have been able to navigate it anywhere near as well without the support I've had from Emma.

Emma and the community she has curated within Thriving Women has been an absolute god-send! When I first started working with Emma I was convinced I just needed a little bit of coaching. But within the first week of connecting with the other Thriving Women, I knew I'd found my tribe. Emma and the Thriving Women team hold me accountable, connect me to who and what I don't know, and above all else, have become my biggest cheerleaders in business. I cannot recommend Emma and the Thriving Women program highly enough! 12/10 ⭐️

I am currently 5 months into 1:1 coaching with Emma and I now have: 1) flipped my finances over with new bank accounts and a clear goal of % tax, % profit, % operational expenses for every month, 2) moved from PDFs in Google Workspace flying everywhere for client record keeping to an organised clinical management software recommended by Emma and I LOVE it as it helps me track client activity properly to ease sustainability and future growth, and 3) have started offering a new service (a 5 month group mentoring program) which has been on my to do list for 10 months prior to Emma but I just didn't know how to price it, market it, execute it etc. She gave me all those tools to launch! All these things I KNEW I should do but have been stuck in analysis paralysis phase and not truly understanding how to execute such big changes in my business until I had Emma cheering me, LITERALLY, whenever I needed her (ps. Marco Polo is the best!). Before Emma, my definition of business building was putting out email fires. But now, I've blocked out my WHOLE Tuesdays for actual business building like following up on items Emma and I speak about at our monthly sessions and my grasp on my business is so much better. I have so much more confidence in me. Emma IS SO WORTH IT!

What can I say about working with THE QUEEN!?! Working with Emma has been a game changer for me not just because of increased monthly revenue, or hitting KPIs, but my entire business ethos and attitude have shifted too. Emma is super warm, practical and willing to share her knowledge to help her clients to not only have the best possible businesses but also sustainable, enjoyable, and healthy careers. I love working with Emma and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a highly professional, yet still down to Earth and relatable coach.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that just an hour of power every day for 2 weeks would have such a HUGE impact to my business. Emma’s BD sprint is nothing short of genius. The connection, accountability and solid focus daily was exactly what I needed to reboot the zing into my business. 100% recommend. If you do the work you get the results, its simple!

quote mark

In two short weeks, my engagement has skyrocketed by 631%! I’m off my L plates, learned the true value of BD, and realised it’s far less intimidating than I imagined. You’ve shown me how to make BD a simple, natural part of my routine. Cara

I have learnt so much about BD in the past two weeks and feel more confident implementing my BD. It can be fun and not scary!

Joining the Thriving Women Program with Emma McQueen has been an absolute game-changer for me. Emma’s expertise and genuine passion for empowering women have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. Her guidance is clear, actionable, and incredibly motivating.

What sets this program apart is the amazing community Emma has built. The women I’ve connected with are not only driven and inspiring but also incredibly kind and supportive. Being part of this network has enriched the often-lonely experience of being a small business owner giving you the feeling of having a team around you!

I will be joining the program again next year, the value and friendship I’ve found here are unmatched, and I’m excited to continue this journey with Emma and the incredible community she has nurtured. Thank you, Emma, for creating such a fantastic space for women to thrive!

A Day with the Queen was brilliant. A beautiful event led by brilliant speakers. Every detail was so well thought out. Some wonderful surprises along the way from very generous sponsors and brilliant workshops as well. Highly recommend attending if you would like to connect with some fabulous women in business and have a fun day!

Day with the Queen had everything I expect from an Emma McQueen event - lots of laughter, inspirational speakers, conversations with incredible women, and a good dose of surprise and delight! It was a wonderful reminder of how rewarding it is to step out of your business for a day to connect with others. So worth the time and investment - I'll be back for the next one!

quote mark

What I loved most about Day with the Queen, I loved the energy, the laughter and the connection to other women in business. This is hands down for women in business. I'm five years in myself and I walked away feeling energised and challenged. I spoke to women who were in start-up and 10 or more years in and I think if you have a good vibe and you want to connect and learn (and share) this is for you. See you there!

Emma has coached me through a break up of a business partnership, founding my own business, helping me grow and scale through covid times. I now lead a team of six, my business revenue grew 200% last year, and I am on track to double that this year. I work with amazing clients. Plus, I get to be there for my family in a way that I want to be, which is so important to me. Emma has helped me to create a lifestyle that I LOVE. Emma’s guidance, support and encouragement has helped my confidence grow, I have learnt to lean into my strengths, outgrown unhelpful self-beliefs, and have a clear road map to achieving my goals.

Working with Emma has been one of the best decisions I've made in my business. Emma is intuitive, positive and genuinely supportive. She also has an incredible network of amazing women and I'm so grateful for all the wonderful new people I've connected with through her. It's been amazing having Emma in my corner through the ups and downs of the last year - she truly lives her values of kindness and generosity!

quote mark

Well, it's been three years of the "funnest" ride I've had. Emma McQueen came into my life after I stalked her for a while and then reached out for some help with a particular problem. Thanks to her coaching and her Thriving Women collective, I have had three years of rediscovery & repositioning for myself, my business and my ongoing purpose. Emma is the most infectious, positive, energising coach you could have in your corner. Go on, do it, reach out to her, you will NOT regret it.

Having someone like Emma who is experienced, professional and outside of my organisation to speak with about professional challenges and future career plans has been invaluable.

As a new manager, it can be difficult to step away from being a technical expert, and start a new journey of discovering your innate management style and capability. Emma was able to help me step up to the challenge by providing coaching, and support based on a genuine interest in my career and in me as a person. Emma has a way of knowing what questions to ask, to understand the real issues and to help push you outside your comfort zone, even when you think you’re not ready!

I’ve been coached by Emma for the past year and when it came time to review this arrangement, it was a no-brainer for me to sign up for another 12 months! Emma keeps me accountable, believes in me, and pushes me outside of my comfort zone. She is warm, approachable and caring, yet isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions. Without Emma’s support and guidance I wouldn’t have had the courage to take the risks that have been necessary for me to grow my business. I now feel more motivated and invigorated than I have in years. I’m thrilled with the growth that I have seen in my business over the past 12 months. I would recommend Emma without hesitation!

Throughout this year I have been lucky enough to be selected to work with Emma in the Thriving Women for Microsoft program. This is a 6 month program where I have broadened my Network, connected to seriously smart women and getting to work on my own career path and clearly define my strengths and understand what areas to work harder on. There are two key area's where this program has really helped me. 1. Being able to share my idea's and business problems with like minded women in IT and use them as a sound board to apply in my own situation. 2. Working directly with Emma as a one-one coach who has helped me define exactly what I want in the next step of my career and to show up and ask for it!

Emma McQueen is a brilliant coach and facilitator who has got me thinking big, guided me through taking action, and moved my business partner and I to clarity and teamwork. I was part of Thriving Women for two years and it is a joy to be a part of a community of women who are all accelerating their businesses whilst providing support and exchanging ideas with each other. Emma creates and cultivates an atmosphere of community over connection and she puts in 110%. Emma has helped us to double our revenue, to understand our worth and importantly our value.

quote mark

Emma has really helped me to increase my confidence and try new things in my business. Before I worked with Emma I felt really overwhelmed with my next steps, the large to-do list felt crushing, and I didn't know where to even begin. I felt a little bit lonely not having friends who worked in their own business who understood some of the challenges I was going through, so I thought a group coaching program would be a great fit. Emma has helped me find some clarity and calm in my business. Her energy is infectious and her generosity of spirit, time and energy are unparalleled. She has created a network of businesswomen who are supportive, encouraging, and incredibly inspirational. I feel privileged to be a part of this network and I look forward to another year working with Emma McQueen.

There’s no doubt about it. Being female, running a household, leading people, running a business, caring for family…. it takes resilience, resources and getting the right people around you. Having worked with Emma myself she walks her talk and is the real deal. From start to finish Go-Getter is full of such valuable insights, practical mindset and business advice that is incredibly refreshing. At times I felt like she was reading my mind! Reading it reminded me to be my own best friend, to stop losing time on the perfectionism and run my own race without worrying what others think of me. I wish I had this book when I started my career in leadership and my own business years ago

Before you commit to reading this book, I ask one question: “Are you prepared to have your mind changed?” If you are, and this is your motivation for picking up this book, by turning its pages, you will be compelled to act. To do something. To make change happen, you are in charge, and in your hand is a way forward. It is a book overflowing with insight, gems and generosity, but I must say, nothing surprises me about it, for I have got to know the person who penned it. Emma McQueen is a leader. Real leaders beget leaders. Yes, leaders attract followers, but generous leaders, those who embrace teaching, attract leaders. The book is not a page-turner; it is a page-pauser. You will be reading it, and then you will stop reading it. It will demand you pause and reflect. This is a gift. It is now your gift.
