Emily Button-Lynham

I help organisations create authentic, inclusive leaders of the future and high-performing teams in order to boost engagement and retention, build a robust leadership pipeline and foster a culture of innovation and consistent high performance. 

Organisations often come to us when they notice symptoms such as:

·  Leaders and managers feeling ill-equipped to navigate rapid change such as restructures and redundancies, role expansions, adaptions to budgets, technology, adapting workplace dynamics

·  High employee attrition or disengagement, especially from top talent, resulting in goals being missed

·  Team struggling with psychological safety leading to low innovation and reluctance to communicate openly or speak up

·  A disconnect between company values and day-today behaviours resulting in inconsistent team cultures

·  A lack of diversity in leadership impacting innovation and growth of the organisation and creating a weak talent pipeline from women and underrepresented groups

Our clients are typically ambitious, people-centric organisations – ranging from fast growing scale ups to established global firms, who want to create authentic, inclusive leaders and high-performing teams that drive both results and positive culture.

Emily is the founder of EBC who partner with tech organisations to create authentic and inclusive leaders for the future: Leaders who drive results, whilst also creating a psychologically safe team culture enabling all employees to feel a sense of belonging, which in turn drives innovation and progress. Our coaching approach is rooted in neuroscience principles and the sessions are practical and tangible, enabling changes to be made (and seen) after just one session. Our team of expert coaches have extensive senior leadership experience across multiple industries and have coached individuals from new managers to C-Suite executives.

We solve key problems for organisations such as:

·  Leadership skill gaps – we develop leaders skills around decision making, communication, accountability and resilience; addressing gaps that hinder team and organisational performance.

·  Low employee engagement and retention – we equip leaders with the skills to foster inclusive, motivating and supporting environments

·  Barriers to career progression and development – we explore growth opportunities and co-create a long term vision, breaking that down into unique and specific goals to ensure progression and driving engagement and retention

·  Poor team culture – we work through issues and challenges such as mis-aligned communication, relationship friction and weak collaboration to create a psychologically safe environment where everyone thrives

We understand the challenges that tech leaders and teams face because we have experienced them first-hand. Emily our founder has over a decade of experience as a senior transformation director in the FinTech sector, she has led global teams, managed complex change, and seen the direct impact that effective leadership has on organisational success.

By working with EBC you can expect:

·  Increased employee engagement and productivity

·  Stronger leadership pipeline

·  Enhanced team culture driving increased innovation and collaboration

·  Reduced attrition and talent retention

·  Bespoke metrics and measurements to showcase ROI

Here is what a recent coachee shared: “When we first met I felt overwhelmed by my job role. Emily helped me to gain clarity and confidence by creating a psychologically safe environment where I could explore my thoughts and put meaningful actions in place to help myself. Emily helped me to understand the root of what I was feeling and shared helpful resources when I needed more direction. I cannot recommend Emily more highly!”
