I’m Emily Sander…

The Highlights:

  • At a very young age, I was born (that’s a joke)

  • I’m a C-suite executive turned ICF-certified leadership coach

  • I’ve known failure — and success

  • I’ve had bad bosses, good bosses, and great mentors

  • I’ve been on the “high-achievement hamster wheel”

  • I’ve put in crazy hours absorbing all I could on leadership and business

  • I’m so into leadership, I wrote a couple books and host some podcasts on it

  • After a thrilling climb up the corporate ladder, I’m focusing on what I love…

  • Empowering people to reach their professional and personal goals through dedicated one-on-one coaching.

Big Fancy Professional Bio:

In my most recent role as Chief of Staff, I served as a strategic advisor to the CEO and executive leadership team.

I told my team if we met our stretch goals, I’d dress up like a Rainbow Unicorn....

I’m a woman of my word.

When I’m Not Coaching I’m…

Traveling, podcasting, working out, reading, watching a movie, and rooting for my Seattle Seahawks!

Pie at Thanksgiving!
Our family motto:
Leftovers are for quitters.”

Channeling my inner superhero.
Clean and Jerk!
Sweat, lift, repeat!

Glam squad assemble! Celebrating our best friend's
milestone birthday in sunny San Diego.

My first and last time “fishing.”

Probably thinking deep thoughts or just trying not to fall in the ocean…

Starbucks, my ultimate winter accessory in the Big Apple.
