Emily has a unique lens after working her way from the bottom to the top with one of the leading franchises - Home Instead. In addition to Emily providing the owner absentee leadership and growing multiple franchises by double digits for multiple years, she also innovated a unique way to lead from afar. During her time of overseeing multiple franchises, she developed her teams to flourish independently and implemented scaleable processes that ensured incredible services for clients. Emily was a pioneer at Home Instead as one of the first non-owner leaders to oversee more than one franchise at a time while continuing to have exponential growth.

Personal Note from Emily:

I’m originally from Kentucky and now live in Nashville with my wife and our son. I especially enjoy being outdoors - hiking, paddle boarding, back country camping, running, swimming, playing ultimate frisbee, and catching some vitamin D.

Since I was young I have been focusing a lot of my time and energy into personal growth. At only 19 years of age I was reading books like A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz, and alternating with leadership works from the likes of John Maxwell to Malcolm Gladwell. Since then I have continued my study and am a large supporter of Brene Brown’s work. I do not believe there is just one formula for success and I appreciate the importance of diversity in study and application. I’m on a journey towards making every day better than the last, I contend that we are all on this journey. During my time in leadership I have thankfully had people just a few steps ahead, to help me along the way. I am forever grateful to them for shining their light on the path. My hope is that I can shine a light for you.

Whats with all the cloud photos? Since I was a teenager, I have always had an affinity for taking photos of clouds. It was even more solidified when I was 19 years old. While caring for a 96 year old lady, she stopped mid-stride with her walker, looked up and said, “Oh! Look how beautiful!” Since then I try not to ever take a “Toy Story” clouded day for granted. I use it as a reminder to pause and appreciate life’s beauty, just as she did.

Secondly, I was picked on for always having my head in the clouds at a young age. What people didn’t realize at the time is that my feet were also on the ground. My favorite music artist, lyricist, and performer Brandi Carlile puts it well in the song The Joke, “I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends and the jokes on them.” I’d love to help you keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground.

As a co-leader I will be your behind the scenes secret weapon complimenting your on stage actions towards success.

I look forward to working with you!
