Coaching Services
I’m passionate about helping people improve resilience and well-being, clarify their vision and direction, create sustainable change, and be purposeful about their impact in the world.
Who are my coaching clients?
My clients are in the process of life transitions – dealing with career changes, navigating parenting, helping aging parents, starting a new endeavor, reassessing relationships, and/or looking to bring more creativity and fun into their lives.
I have a deep understanding of individuals and groups that currently work or have worked in public health, international development, academia, government, non-profits, foundations, and/or the private sector; however, my clients may or may not have connections to my areas of expertise.
Individual Coaching
I love working with individuals. I start with a free Chemistry Session to ensure that we are a good fit – in terms of our energy and connection. Once we have established our connection, then we have a Discovery Session to design our alliance. We create a safe, courageous, and confidential space for coaching. We talk together and create a 1:1 coaching program for you.
Group Coaching
This virtual coaching is designed for a group of leaders in public health and international development who want to grow in their own leadership and to help one another navigate their careers and lives. My focus is on establishing deep connections and designing actions to enhance horizons. Be prepared to tap into creativity.
Leadership Training
My favorite jobs have included training responsibilities throughout the world. I’m known for bringing my creativity into the design of participatory trainings where people feel like their contributions are valued and incorporated. I am available to do a single workshop or to design a series of workshops with the same or different groups of people.
Leadership Training and Coaching
One of my favorite and most effective ways of enhancing leadership skills is to work with an existing group of leaders in a workshop setting periodically, and in-between to have 1:1 coaching sessions with the individuals on the team. I introduce topics in the interactive workshops with the group and have coaching sessions with individuals to dig deep into specific, real life scenarios.
Hear From Others
“I worked with Emily during a significant life transition that involved moving across the globe and stepping away from a traditional career path after years of training. She provided me with the space, tools, and structure to reflect on my values and goals while taking concrete actions toward them. By the end of our six-month journey, I not only accomplished the professional and personal goals I set out to achieve—much to my surprise—but also felt truly confident and capable in navigating future uncertainties. Several friends close to me have recently remarked on how effortlessly I am handling my transition, and I proudly attribute that growth to my work with Emily. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support, especially during life transitions and in diverse cultural contexts. Additionally, her extensive professional network is an invaluable resource for anyone in the field of international development.“
—W.C., International Development Expert
“Emily is a great listener and very thoughtful with her perspective. She is truly present in every conversation and provides valuable guidance. Helping me reflect on the wins and losses has been very beneficial.
I grew up with parents who told me I could always do better. Unfortunately that left me feeling like the work I was doing was never good enough. Emily has helped me build confidence. I need to hear from someone that I am doing a good job.
Emily has made me feel supported. She has been a vital resource at this stage of my life.“
—C.W., Personal Chef and Catering
“Emily Bobrow has that rare alchemy: empathy with intelligence; caring with competence. She gets to the root of those deep, dark things you’ve been working with for years, and then gives practical steps to do something about it.
She held space for me while I wept. She made me feel (at a gut level) my strengths, and helped make peace with the rest. At some key transition points in my career, my relationship, and my family, Emily was there to guide me into the best version of myself.
I know Emily touched my life, and, if that’s what you’re looking for in a coach or a trainer, I bet she could do the same for you.”
—B.E., Trial Attorney
“Working with Emily offers an opportunity to take a step back and consider the broader goals I have, while providing a safe space to work through difficult situations within my own strengths and challenges.
Emily offers helpful metaphors that allow me to visualize goals, and a pathway to reaching them.“
— T.M., Academic Department Chair
“Emily is great to work with as a coach. She always follows through with promises of resources and contacts. She’s helped me get unstuck in areas of my life and helped me reduce the stress of certain tricky relationships. She’s easy to talk with but also holds me accountable. I’d definitely recommend her to others.”
