Welcome to the
COACHING LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (CLA).
A Constraints-Led Approach to
Maximizing Performance.
Where the art and the science of coaching finally meet.
Where leaders learn to communicate with clarity, ignite curiosity, and bring out the best in others — just like the greatest coaches do on the court, in the locker room, and inside high-performing teams.
The science gives you the frameworks, models, and evidence-based tools.
The art teaches you how to read the play — the energy, the timing, the human behind the behaviour.
Together, they create a powerful way of leading:
Coaching that drives success in sport and business, especially under pressure.
If you're ready to elevate performance, build trust, and transform the way you lead, the Coaching Leadership Academy will show you how to coach with purpose, presence, and impact.

In a world moving faster than ever, Coach EM brings the spark leaders need to stay grounded, energised, and performing at their best. She’s an Energy & Performance Coach who helps leaders, teams, and coaches unlock their potential, turn pressure into purposeful action, and lead with heart, head, and gut.
With 30+ years of global coaching experience—from elite sport to top-tier organisations—Coach EM is known for transforming motivation into activation. Her style is practical, curious, and full of energy. She doesn’t just inspire people; she shifts the way they think, communicate, and show up.
