About
Jemma is a hardworking ambassador and advocate for mental health, equality and diversity.
Having had problems with being cast aside in both Primary and Secondary establishments due to wanting to study and not socialise as much with her peers, this was a choice that she made early on which opened her up to receiving bullying and harassment from other students, sometimes teachers.
Jemma was also sexually abused by a close family friend, while her father remained critically ill and later died in hospital.
Jemma rose above all of the animosity and came out of the other side to go to college and study computer science, however she was the only girl on the course in both colleges that she ended up attending, following this she then went on to study at University things were no better there, but she stuck it out for two years and is now pursuing the route she was always meant to take, Performing Arts.
Jemma is also a trained Life Coach helping others overcome similar obstacles to the ones that she had to overcome throughout her life, she is also an advocate for Mental Health after suffering badly with anxiety and depression after her father passed away and she was assaulted.
There is also a Podcast and Blog that Jemma has also set up to raise awareness to certain Mental Health conditions that people suffer with and she invites guests on to talk about their past with Mental Health, to give them a platform to have their voices heard all over the world, no matter gender, race or religion she believes everyone has a story to tell and everyone should be given the opportunity to tell it.
Jemma is also an ambassador for feminism after going through sexism at one of the colleges that she attended and also on many applications for work afterwards. Jemma believes that workplaces shouldn’t be able to discriminate based on gender, religion or sexuality. Whether someone is offered a job or not should purely be based on if they are capable of doing the job to the best of their abilities with the qualifications they have.

Your client is experiencing burnout. How can you help them through personalized coaching techniques?
Setting a rigid routine for when you change environments can help with burnout too, as it is in effect setting boundaries, just not with people. For example, when you get home after work you may not want to be contacted by work, so it might be an idea to get your devices to recognise when you reach home so it knows when to turn off your emails and your calls from work.

Your client is experiencing burnout. How can you help them through personalized coaching techniques?
I recommend to my clients that it's helpful to look at the different areas in their life first so, work, home, and personal and allow them the time to recognise where there may be areas when they may be people-pleasing and therefore overcompensating in. As, it's highly common for people-pleasing, overcompensating and burnout are linked together. If that is the case, I come up with an action plan for each area of their life where they list their realistic expectations for themselves, not what other people want from them all the time or what they think other people will want from them. Therefore, reframing what they recognise as perfection and then going on to teach them different mindfulness tools to build into a routine.

What are the best ways to use social media for CSR initiatives?
This is why in my experience it is crucial that you include different platforms in your Social Media strategy, as it’s no good developing a strategy unless your content is developed specifically with a particular platform in mind. You need to always make sure you keep a track of the metrics on each and every different platform too, so you know what works with your brands audience and what doesn’t.

What are the best ways to use social media for CSR initiatives?
In my experience, it’s necessary for you not only to be consistent with your own brands message on your personal social media page but for you to be authentic too! The more authentic you are the more relatable your brands content will be. Therefore the more successful your business will be.
