About Us

We Believe…

  • In a world where people love going to work where they feel valued, heard and go home fulfilled.
  • Everyone has the ability to impact and lead change
  • The power of a community can change the world

Our Leaders Are…

  • Inspirational women destined to make a difference.
  • Caring human beings
  • Committed to lifelong learning and growing
  • Dedicated to challenging the status quo
  • Courageous and influential, choosing to feel the fear and do it anyway

How we live our lives…

  • Always inspire – share your story, share ideas, and show others how they CAN be their best. 
  • Celebrate – people, actions, events. Especially the little things.
  • Innovate – challenge the status quo and look for new boxes to change our thinking
  • Be curious– always ask questions, never assume, be willing to peek out over the nest and see what’s happening around us
  • Community – life is not meant to be lived alone, no gal gets left behind. Surround yourself with others who will support you, and be the supporter for them
  • Believe – Always believe it CAN be done, and YOU are the right person to do it. Believe in each other always. There are enough doubters in the world – be the one who believes in others.
  • Courage – Feel the fear and do it anyway. Push against your comfort zone and always be growing. Use your courage to speak your values, your wisdom and to be the change you want to see.
  • Implementation – always be taking action. Don’t try to be perfect, try to be better than yesterday

Our Team

We’re a small start-up team here at Her Leadership Journey.

Emma Rhoades

Emma Rhoades

Founder

Passionate about creating authentic and courageous leaders, Emma is an award-winning entrepreneur, Founder of Her Leadership Journey.

Emma’s ability to help women in the workplace to transform from invisible and unheard, into an influential and inspirational leader has resulted in many women stepping into their true, authentic leadership and moving up their career ladder.

She brings a unique combination of formal study and her own less than desirable experiences in the workplace to inspire leaders to own their ambitions, to increase their visibility and leave a lasting impact on those they serve.

She’s curious, asks loads of questions (and expects an answer most of the time 😊) and will push you to believe in yourself like you’ve never done before.
