Personal Details

Bio

I've been building communities across Europe since Y2K. Before we liked each other on Facebook, before we became a number on someone's mailing list, I was helping humans connect to humans.

I see patterns where others see chaos. I use those patterns to connect the dots and develop strengths-based solutions which grow communities and help small businesses thrive.

By getting clear, getting focused and taking action, together we can make small changes to create big impact.

I believe that we all have the ability to build the business we truly want to run and to create the communities we want to live in while still making the impact (and income) we deserve.

Let me show you how.

  • Emmy McCarthy is a wonderful speaker and MC. I've worked with her twice now, at two international events. She's very knowledgeable, funny and prepared. Emmy has a natural way of capturing the audience. Every single person in the room feels addressed personally. In the preparation process leading up to the events, Emmy shows herself a true professional. She's very flexible and comes up with great suggestions.
