About

Hi! I'm Emma Sharrock, and I am passionate about all things that involve change and people and have worked as a project and change manager since 1999. I founded a coaching business in 2011, and since then have been looking for ways I could "converge" my passions for projects and change and human behaviour.

I feel that in this increasingly complex world, we are losing the human aspect of project and change management. We are prioritising tools and templates over relationships and human interaction. It's getting harder to take the time to meet with someone face-to-face to understand their concerns when a million spreadsheets and processes are competing for our time.

We are looking for results.

My goal when I wrote The Agile Project Manager, and when I work with my clients, is to provide simple techniques to assist project professionals in achieving success in any change endeavour. The change might have a specific outcome (like a project) or the goal to get the most out of the valuable investment we all make in our knowledge workers. Uplifting ways of working using Agile, starting with the mindset and building capability with right-sized practices is the lifeblood of what I do. And the foundation for the results we seek.
