The Creativity Coach Ltd was founded by Emily Stokes Hotchkiss. Drawing on an extensive group of associates, facilitators and coaches whom you can meet on our blog, Emily is personally involved in all projects run by The Creativity Coach Ltd.

Emily’s own career has been entirely about communication and creativity. Graduating from Oxford University with a degree in German and Russian, she went on to spend a decade in account management and strategic brand planning at large and small London advertising agencies including St Luke’s, RKCR Young & Rubicam, Wunderman, Rapier, McCann Erickson and Publicis.

Her time in advertising saw her developing creative communication strategies and running creative workshops for companies such as Renault, PepsiCo, HSBC, The Automobile Association, British Airways, American Express and the Royal National Institute for the Blind. As a co-owner of St Luke’s, she also helped the Electoral Commission to tap into the psychology of political participation and to increase voter turnout in the 2005 General Election.

Emily then went on to complete postgraduate training in creative facilitation methods at the Institute for Arts and in client-centred psychology at The Metanoia Institute. A qualified coach and associate member of the Association for Coaching, Emily has been employed to coach such diverse groups as excluded teens at South Camden Community School and advertising executives at McCann Erickson.

When she is not coaching or training, Emily enjoys cycling in London's Royal Parks and practising martial arts, yoga and the art of ‘flaneuring’ - a seemingly untranslatable French term for strolling around the city simply for the joy of it.

Emily and her network are an approachable and friendly team who take the view that an exploratory conversation about what you might like to accomplish in a coaching or training programme can be a useful conversation in itself.
