Whether I am delivering SASH at Sea, facilitating sector conversations, supporting women in maritime, or coaching individuals through real career and leadership challenges, my work is designed to be practical, relevant and grounded in the real world.
Here is what people have said about working with me.
Jennie Firth, Safeguarding Manager, Southampton Solent University / Warsash Maritime School
“Thank you for delivering your Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at Sea training for our maritime cadets. I really appreciated the care, professionalism, warmth, and clarity you brought to such an important and sensitive topic.
The content was engaging and highly relevant. Cadets remained attentive, and the interactive elements worked particularly well in encouraging active participation and thoughtful reflection.
The training was thoughtfully contextualised to the maritime environment. The sea-going scenarios, industry-specific risks, and discussion of reporting pathways both at sea and ashore made the learning especially meaningful as our cadets prepare for life onboard.
Overall, this was a high-quality and well-delivered session on a vital safeguarding topic. I would recommend this training for maritime learners.”
“The course was helpful and opened my eyes to what could happen on vessels and the way to deal with those issues effectively.”
“Very useful and a good step forward for the industry.”
“It is useful and relevant to the job, especially the age difference / generations.”
“A necessary lesson that is needed especially before sea.”
“Much more helpful than you would think and a necessity before going onboard, especially for cadets who have less sea-going experience and do not feel as confident reporting.”
“The course helped me to understand the things to do if I were to witness or be affected by sexual assault of harassment”

“Working with Emma Mark on the recent SASH webinars has been an empowering experience for many of us in the fisheries and seafood sector.
Emma’s deep understanding of workplace culture, safety, and real-world maritime issues brought an invaluable perspective to a safe virtual space where everybody felt safe to share their stories.
Through Emma’s guidance, many of us felt more confident identifying unacceptable behaviours and exploring ways to support one another safely. These sessions have strengthened our voice as women in fisheries and highlighted that transforming workplace culture benefits the whole industry.”
“Emma is a wonderful coach. She is easy to talk to and she listens to you without any judgment.
Each session is structured and she provides guidance every step of the way while allowing you to think for yourself and come up with solutions that work for you.
I have learnt so much, and been able to put what I have learnt into practice as well.”
“Working with Emma has been a transformative experience. She has an incredible ability to fuse deep empathy with just the right amount of directness, creating a space where I felt truly heard and understood.
Emma’s approach pushed me to confront the barriers I’d been avoiding, but always in a way that felt supportive and empowering. Thanks

“There are so many positive things I can say about Emma, but if I were to sum up her superpower as a coach in only one word, it would be empathy.
Emma’s coaching style balances softness with keen observation. She creates a safe, trust-filled space while also calmly challenging perspectives in a thought-provoking way. I come out of our sess

If you are looking for practical, maritime-specific support that people recognise as relevant from the moment it starts, I would love to hear from you.
