meet the founder
I created RiseA because I know what it feels like to be the person everyone relies on - the one holding everything together - while quietly putting your own growth last. For years, I was that person. And I know how isolating it can feel.
With over 20 years supporting C‑suite executives, boards, and senior leaders, I’ve lived the reality of high‑pressure, high‑expectation environments. My career has spanned healthcare, medical, hospitality, construction, property, and recruitment - and across every industry, one truth remained constant:
Being an exceptional Executive Assistant is not about managing a calendar. It’s about becoming a strategic partner.
I’ve led office renovations and technical rollouts, coordinated large‑scale events for hundreds of employees, and served as the operational bridge for Board of Directors meetings. I understand the nuance, the emotional intelligence, and the precision required to support leaders at the highest level.
And I also understand the weight of it.
Despite the impact EAs have, the role can be deeply isolating. You’re expected to know everything, anticipate everything, and hold everything - often without mentorship guidance, or a roadmap.
RiseA exists to change that.
RiseA is a 6‑month personalised coaching program designed to help Executive Assistants move from reactive support to confident, strategic partnership.
Through 1:1 coaching, templates, SOPs, communication frameworks, and practical tools, I help EAs:
strengthen strategic thinking
build systems that reduce overwhelm
communicate with clarity and confidence
master modern tools (including AI)
elevate their executive partnership
step into leadership without losing themselves
This is the mentorship I wish I had earlier in my career - grounded, calm, practical, and deeply supportive.
If you’re ready to rise into the next version of your career - with clarity, confidence, and a strategic edge - I’m here to walk that path with you.
Let's rise together.
Emma Hyatt
Founder, RiseA
