To end our year, I wanted to give our team something to help them strike that critical balance in their lives. Em joined our all team end of year meeting and gave us a great overview of the importance of laughing, thinking and playing, introducing us to her rainbow diary. The energy in the room was great and the penny definitely dropped on the importance of just stepping back and re-evaluating life to make space for more laughing and playing. I got plenty of positive feedback following the meeting and it’s given us, as a team, a bit more permission to be curious and to have fun along the way.

Em Stroud is without doubt one of the most engaging, informative, fun-loving speakers I have ever seen. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging and knows human psychology and the power of humour so well I personally learnt so much from it. Em is outstanding — highly recommended! Material was brilliantly delivered, very engaging, and relevant.

There is nothing quite like the sense of certainty in knowing that Em will be MC'ing at a speaking event. You can guarantee the audience will be energised, open and crucially smiling. I've been lucky enough to speak at two events with Em this year. On both occasions, she welcomed me to the stage with funny, conversational patter that meant I could bounce off her and straight into my talk. Highly recommended!

Em takes such a refreshingly different approach to her work that I'm not actually sure how to describe what she does — consultant or coach seems boring! We first me when she ran a session on improvisation for a group of small business CEOs, she immediately became the obvious person to compere at our annual partner conference, and I am currently working with her on a 1:1 basis to enhance my public speaking. Em has a special way of helping people get the headspace to tackle challenging topics and backs that up with the accountability needed to make sure they take action.

Em Stroud supported some high profile graduate events for us at Deloitte. She was our Host and the face of our event and she massively contributed to making the event highly engaging. Em is highly adaptable to all audiences, from interviewing young grads to interviewing senior members of the exec. Most importantly she made our new joiners feel comfortable and created an early sense of belonging. Enthusiastic, engaging, experienced, I would highly recommend working with Em for your own events.

We were looking for something different, engaging, and to build resilience and Em delivered and some, she made us laugh, engage, work together and more than that provided practical steps that we could all take to be calmer, happier, and more resilient. I look forward to working with Em again!

The most engaging lunchtime presentation to date Emma is a fabulous presenter.
Emma’s Rainbow Diary really brought to life the meaning of Work-Life balance. I’ll be using that!

Emma was excellent and the whole group responded to her approach,,,,they scored her almost full marks and the comments matched the scores....amazing,engaging, different, high energy, funny, open, honest, practised what she preached, verity, "best speaker we have ever seen". enough said..

A day with Em! Her coaching sessions are nothing short of transformative. Her warmth, empathy, and expertise create a safe and supportive space where you feel encouraged to explore your thoughts and aspirations. Em's holistic approach delves deep into underlying beliefs and values, challenging you to confront limitations and embrace new possibilities with courage. Her genuine enthusiasm for your growth journey empowers you to take ownership of your transformation. In short if you want to grow and have a fantastic time doing it, Em is your partner for the journey.

The corporate world can cause us to stagnate, we can lose touch of the unique individual we are that was part of the reason a business employed us in the first place - so to say our ‘secret sauce’. Em helps people discover thier secret sauce and more…she helps people identify the niggles that led to major blockages and all that though some pretty fun play! Em is a safe place, a fun place and the opening of a door we all deserve to walk through

Just a big thank you from me for taking the time to share how important it is to Laugh Think and Play more ! It was absolutely fabulous, so inspiring, engaging with lots of takeaways. The feedback on the session has been phenomenal Can't wait to hear your ideas for other sessions. Just brilliant!

Thank you so much Em for a genuinely interesting and engaging talk at Windsor this morning. You are an inspiration and hugely talented, keep up the good work! I can honestly say this is the first motivational talk where I didn't want it to end, thanks again and long may your success continue.

I am delighted to recommend Em Stroud, who delivered an outstanding performance at our annual HR conference in Tacoma, Washington, in July 2024. Em MC’ed the entire event from Monday evening through Thursday, seamlessly managing the day’s agendas and social events. Additionally, she conducted two highly engaging skill-building workshops on “Communicating with Impact” and “Improvisation as a Vital Business Skill,” which were met with enthusiastic praise from all attendees.I first met Em a few years ago when I booked her for a keynote event at a women’s event at our sales conference. Her exceptional performance and the lasting connection we maintained made her the perfect choice for our HR conference. Em’s presence made the event seamless for me as the organizer and provided a consistent thread of key themes for the participants throughout the week.Em Stroud’s passion, professionalism, and ability to engage an audience are truly commendable. I highly recommend her for any event requiring a dynamic and impactful MC.

Em delivered a 1-hour International Women’s speech to help inspire and fun and play in the workplace whilst adhering to the IWD theme of ‘Give to Gain’. In all my time with this company I have never seen the level of energy, enthusiasm, and laughter in the room. Through thought provoking insights, coupled with real world examples Em was able to deliver with impact the messages of having more fun in the workplace. I saw the most serious of folk taking ‘things’ out of an imaginary box with genuine curiosity and broad smiles on their faces. This is the power than Em holds in a room. I had follow up messages of ‘I genuinely wish Em was my friend’, and ‘thanks so much for arranging the event with Em today - it really made my week’. When people take the time after walking out of the room to follow up with a message you know it has been successful. To share the power of Em with my work colleagues was an absolute delight and I look forward to the next session!
