The ELMER journey…
Charlotte Elmer, founder of ELMER, spent over 25 years working in various organisations in both the UK and internationally, leading global, international and local strategic alliances and partnership teams. Through this experience, Charlotte developed deep insights into cross-cultural business practices and discovered the five fundamental principles that would later become the cornerstone of ELMER’s approach to leadership development.
Following an unexpected redundancy from her executive role, Charlotte embraced this pivotal moment as an opportunity for transformation. She channelled her experience into founding Charlotte Elmer Coaching Ltd in 2019, whilst undertaking extensive training to become a fully certified executive coach, psychologist, professional facilitator and trainer.
The past five years have been spent building her portfolio of clients and developing her acumen whilst working as an associate to Oxbow Consultancy and Revolve. This journey has culminated in the launch of ELMER, where Charlotte and her team specialise in leadership development, behavioural and performance change.
Drawing from her experience and collaboration with a diverse range of clients and her team, Charlotte has crystallised five core principles that form the ELMER methodology:
1. Engagement: The power to inspire and involve others is fundamental to effective leadership. True engagement creates the foundation for meaningful change and sustainable growth.
2. Listening: Deep, active listening is the cornerstone of understanding. Leaders must develop the ability to truly hear and comprehend others’ perspectives, needs, and aspirations.
3. Mentorship: Growth and development flourish through dedicated guidance and support. Every leader has the capacity to both learn and nurture others’ potential.
4. Ethics: Integrity and ethical decision-making are non-negotiable elements of authentic leadership. Strong moral principles guide sustainable success.
5. Relationships: Building and maintaining strong connections is crucial for effective leadership. Quality relationships foster collaboration, trust, and mutual growth.
These principles form the foundation of ELMER’s philosophy, guiding our work in helping others unlock their leadership potential and create meaningful change in their lives and careers.
Charlotte and her team firmly believe that these invaluable insights should be accessible to everyone, not just senior executives. They recognise that leadership potential exists at all levels – from emerging leaders in large corporations to established leaders in SMEs, from apprentices to solo entrepreneurs, and even parents.
The team at ELMER understands that our talents evolve under various ‘titles’, but everyone should have the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge, to become the leaders they aspire to be, and to lead fulfilling lives.
Driven by this vision, ELMER was founded with the purpose of delivering top-tier personal and professional development to all. We specialise in nurturing talent across ALL levels of an organisation, ensuring that leadership development is not limited by job title or position
Welcome to ELMER – we’re excited to partner with you on your leadership journey.
