Welcome to


I’m Emma Jarman and I founded Imagine Coach-Mentoring and Consultancy Ltd. to support leaders and their teams in cultivating greater leadership capacity and impact, and sustainable organisational success. I love working with people and have facilitated individual and team coaching and leadership development programmes to middle and senior managers over the last 20 years.
I am an Advanced Practitioner in vertical development and action inquiry, a Global Leadership Profile Certified Coach, and a GLP commentary writer with Global Leadership Associates. I am an EMCC coach-mentor practitioner with EIA status and also a FACET5 psychometrics accredited practitioner.
I bring with me a curious, whole person and values-based approach to my practice. I use action-inquiry, imagery and the literary arts, and systemic and adult development lenses to cultivate increased agility in how we think, feel and behave as leaders.
My hope is that this work helps us all to more effectively navigate and lead through these times of change and uncertainty, and to make a meaningful difference in our lives, our communities and for the planet.
My experience
Based in the UK, I started my professional life as a musician, moving into the education sector in the 1990s. My 30-year career has included roles as a teacher and leader, consultant, inspector, board member, and executive leadership coach-mentor and facilitator. I have held executive leadership roles transforming culture at scale in large multi-site organisations for almost a decade.
I balance my passion for strategy and supporting people and organisations to flourish, with a focus on nourishing my own mind, body and soul. I do this through learning and being curious, exercise and yoga, and a healthy diet of fun, friends and family.

What my clients say…
“Emma is an inspirational coach. Through listening carefully she guided me to develop my skills as a leader and manager within the organisation. Our aligned values enabled me to lead on quality improvement through improving my skills in leading a team and driving quality improvement. Together we were able to develop a set of tools I then used to enhance my own skills. She supported me to develop clear strategies to support middle managers in leading quality improvement within their own departments. Emma is extremely hard working and focused. She has high expectations of those she works with. I found this motivational as her attitude ensured I developed in confidence.”
Karen, Assistant Director
“Leaders within the organisation developed a range of strategies to enhance continuous improvement and performance. Emma was able to develop a range of challenging and enjoyable facilitated sessions designed to meet our specific needs and aspirations.”
Phil, CEO
“Emma worked effectively with the leadership team to identify and address areas in need of improvement across the college. She opened managers’ eyes to the importance of thorough analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data and ensured that plans for improvement led to positive outcomes. Through 1:1 discussions, training and development the team ‘upped their game’ and began to take greater responsibility for driving improvement apace.”
