Hi, I’m Dr. Emma Jefferies.
I’m an organizational designer with a passion for helping others to thrive by embracing empathy.
I have co-authored two books on transforming organizations to become people-centered; worked with a Big 4 management consulting firm; explored how empathy is adding value to organizations across the world; and shared the knowledge I’ve gained through my career experience and PhD research as a keynote speaker.

The legacy I want to leave is a system where no person gets left behind, and everyone can fully realize their strengths.
