About Us

Mighty Coaching is a boutique Executive Coaching service and was founded to specialise in the Performance, Development and Wellbeing of Senior Leaders.

I’ve always had an underlying belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive in their careers regardless of background. Originally from a working-class family in Sheffield, I ventured to London, aged 21, armed with an undergraduate degree in Psychology & Criminology, with lots of grit and ambition.

Over the past two decades I’ve gained experience leading teams in corporate organisations and I’ve honed my expertise in coaching and developing leaders at various Global Fortune and FTSE 50 companies such as Experian, Legal & General and Unilever. I understand personally what it takes to work in complex changing organisations and face day-to-day leadership challenges.

At the end of 2021 I left a 20+ year corporate career, in 2022 I set up an independent coaching and consultancy business and in 2024 I've expanded the coaching team and launched Mighty Coaching.

 

Drawing from professional training and education in Psychology, Coaching, Physiology and Neuroscience and years of global corporate experience and a wealth of life lessons. Mighty Coaching offer's a holistic approach to coaching, integrating professional training, personal experiences, and a deep understanding of human behaviour and neuroscience to facilitate transformative growth in clients.

Founder & Executive Coach, Emily Saltmer

I have more than 500 accredited coaching hours gathered from coaching leaders across diverse industries and countries. I continue my professional development and training under the International Coaching Federation Membership and regular supervision.

 

I reside in Twickenham with husband Richard and rescue greyhound Lady. I volunteer as a Coach for WaterAid and in my spare time I’m teaching group exercise classes.

'Coaching with you has been the most important experiences that happened to me not just this year, but in a long time. Your empathy, compassion and your willingness to deep dive into my personal circumstances and help me find my own path, helped me tremendously. The progress I’ve been making during, in-between and after the coaching sessions was incredible. I fully immersed myself into self-discovery journey that seemed so scary and painful, thanks to your encouragement. …. I’d like you to know how grateful I am for the way you impacted my life...'
