Emma Levy is a compelling speaker, storyteller, and performance expert who explores the powerful connection between mindset, movement, and sustainable success.
With a background in elite sport and a deeply personal story of overcoming adversity, Emma speaks on topics such as resilience, sustainable performance, momentum, values-led leadership, and the intersection of mindset and movement—a powerful framework for unlocking human potential.
Emma is the host of the award-nominated podcast ‘When Life Gives You Lemons’, where she interviews high performers from the worlds of sport, culture, and business—individuals who have faced adversity and emerged stronger. The podcast was born from Emma’s own story: diagnosed with breast cancer during the pandemic at age 36, she set herself a goal—to complete an Olympic distance triathlon. One month after finishing active treatment, she did just that. A physiotherapist to Olympic and elite athletes, including Team GB at the Paris 2024 Games, Emma understands performance from the inside out.
Her talks combine deep professional insight with lived experience, giving her a unique voice on topics such as clarity under pressure, purpose-driven performance, and the real-world mechanics of resilience. She helps audiences reconnect with their ‘why’, build inner drive, and develop the clarity, energy, and focus to perform consistently—even in the toughest environments.
Emma regularly works with high-performing teams, leaders, and organisations seeking to create momentum that lasts—whether they’re overcoming adversity, navigating change, or simply stuck. She offers more than motivation; she delivers a practical, joined-up approach to performance that integrates mindset, movement, and meaning.
In her keynote talks, Emma helps audiences shift from burnout to breakthrough —redefining their relationship with pressure, reconnecting with purpose, and building the mindset and movement needed for long-term performance. Whether addressing leaders, teams, or individuals navigating change, Emma’s message is clear: real momentum starts within. Her talks don’t just inspire—they equip people to take action that lasts well beyond the room.
Most approaches treat the mind and body separately but Emma doesn’t as she feels our minds and bodies to be truly interconnected. This talk explores the powerful connection between how we think and how we move, and why aligning the two is the key to unlocking sustained energy, focus, and performance. Drawing on her experience as a physiotherapist to Olympic athletes and her own journey through breast cancer, Emma delivers practical strategies that go beyond motivation and inspiration, equipping audiences to perform at their best, consistently.
Resilience isn’t necessary a trait that you are born with. Emma believes that resilience can be trained like a muscle and it is a skill that one can build through choosing hard things.
In this talk, Emma reframes adversity as a catalyst for growth, sharing how to develop inner strength, clarity, and purpose even in the most uncertain times. Grounded in real-life experience from supporting Olympic athletes under pressure to completing a triathlon one month after cancer treatment and about to embark on an Ironman, Emma leaves audiences not just inspired, but equipped to navigate whatever comes next.
Emma has worked as a Physiotherapist in the High Performance sports system with Team GB for many years now and is equipped to share what she has learnt and the skills which are transferable out of the sporting world. High performance isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about aligning mindset, movement, and purpose to achieve results that last. Emma breaks down what performance really means beyond hustle culture and burnout, helping audiences identify what’s holding them back and how to unlock focus and momentum that’s truly sustainable. With insights drawn from working with elite athletes and high-performing teams, this talk shifts people from autopilot into purposeful, high-impact action.
Emma is passionate about the need to clarify our values and to learn and understand what living means to us. If what we ‘do’ gets taken away tomorrow, do we know our ‘why’? Because our ‘why’ will hold us in good stead.
When people feel stuck, lost, or burned out, it’s often because they’re out of alignment with what truly matters to them. In this talk, Emma helps audiences reconnect with their core values and personal ‘why’, using them as a foundation for clearer decisions, greater confidence, and more meaningful action. Rooted in her own experience of facing adversity and choosing to move forward with intention, Emma shows that when you lead from your values, everything else follows.
Emma’s talk was inspiring, motivating and highly relevant to our day. It was a powerful reminder that life isn’t a rehearsal and that we are all capable of more than we realise. Emma really bought our day together and left us with a lot to think about. The team were buzzing afterwards.
I found Emma very engaging and her talk has stuck with me since. I now try and focus on the present more and am not always looking into the future. I would highly recommend Emma as a motivational speaker.
