Emma-Jane is the Founder of the Works Company, Speaker, Trainer and advocate for survivors of Child Sex Abuse. She is not afraid to speak out on the subjects that many people find taboo. ...Read More

Emma-Jane is the CEO of The Works Company (a series of lifestyle businesses) and became the face of The Wellbeing Show for That’s TV (2013-2017), she now presents Talk the Taboo on YouTube/Spotify Podcast, The Well-Being Show & The Power Hour for River Radio. She writes regularly for various social media platforms as well as media connections & publications and is a regular guest on podcasts. She has also featured in many magazines articles across the globe & is the Founder of Breaking the Silence.

Her personal and traumatic story of struggle and hardship covered in her debut book entitled ‘Don’t Hold Back’ and headlined in The Sun newspaper (2020) has given her the positive tools and focus she needed to fight back to create a power house of strength; compassion and dedication to living. Emma-Jane was once told ‘she was the girl going nowhere, the failure’. Sadly it seemed she had, but her reality was very different. She was sexually abused at 9 years old and by 11 years old her biological father told her he could not see her again – she has not seen him since. Aged 13 she fell into the hands of a family acquaintance who groomed her for the next few years. Throughout her teenage years she drank excessively, took drugs, became bulimic and by 15 years old was pretty exhausted by life and addicted. Her school life struggled, she was often sent to isolation, was labelled a juvenile delinquent by a child psychiatric at 14 and often suspended - none of which were effective. She struggled with nerves, night terrors, late development, OCD, PTSD, nausea, eating disorders, paranoia, anxiety. At 19 she took off to Spain and at 23 started an A-Z of therapy.

A passionate & authentic speaker with relatable clear messages, keeping her audiences engaged by her genuine & insightful knowledge.

She spoke at The House of Commons in 2019. She was recommended by Sarah Burns MBE, Founder of SmartWorks Reading.

Using her own powerful and traumatic story she allows her audience the much needed mental and emotional freedom to live life the way they need to both personally and professionally. With a laser like focus she can shape your world with what is truly important in life. In short, Emma-Jane helps you reach your full potential whilst keeping you grounded with valued beliefs. She is exceedingly inspiring and motivating to everyone she works with and uses her platform to support the many suffering in silence to find their success and voice.

I met Emma-Jane first when I heard her speak at the Media Hub, when she was talking about her book. Since then she has spoken at a couple of events and become our Ambassador for Smart Works Reading. She spoke at the House of Commons, Emma-Jane spoke clearly, with care and she was genuine with her approach and kept the audience engaged. Her message was relatable, friendly, authentic and insightful. She is a great speaker who comes across very well in all situations whether it be speaking with a small or large audience. I would highly recommend Emma-Jane.

Author and motivational speaker Emma-Jane Taylor is courageous and unstoppable. She spoke about her book ‘’Don’t Hold Back’’ at the Media Hub in the autumn of 2018. Her moving and powerful personal story captivated the audience and even moved some members to tears. Emma-Jane speaks from the heart and is resilience personified. I would definitely recommend Emma-Jane Taylor as a guest speaker - she inspires everyone she meets and offers those encountering challenges in their lives hope. Sarah Parfitt, Media Hub Founder.

I have had the pleasure of being in the audience when Emma-Jane gave a motivational speech about the circumstances that led to her writing her book 'Don't Hold Back'. Her honesty and candour immediately make you feel at ease, even when she's talking about tough times and difficult subject matter. As well as being a fantastic speaker, she is also passionate about listening to her audience and helping them to find their voice, just as she found hers. She is a five star speaker who manages to engage with any audience, anywhere.
