About Emma Bushin-Reimann

I’m British, and Germany has been my home for over twenty years. I was eleven when I arrived from England with my mum, two suitcases and the biggest adventure of my life so far ahead of us. So I know what it’s like to land somewhere new and have to crack the unwritten rules before anyone lets you in.

Two languages, two cultures, two ways of reading the same room.

Later I spent eleven years in HR at a German mid-sized company: the famous Mittelstand. For six of those years I led without being anyone’s boss: no title, no direct reports, just people I had to get moving anyway. I planned training, steered change projects and sat across the desk from more candidates than I can count. And I kept seeing the same thing: the best person in the room wrapping her idea up as a question. “This might be silly, but…” It never was.

Today I’m the founder of Tallet. As a leadership coach, I work with women who are brilliant at what they do and make sure they get seen for it. I help expats find their feet in German working life. And I support international companies in turning their best specialists into leaders, without losing them along the way. In English and in German, in meetings and on stage, online and in person.

I’m not here in spite of my story. I’m here because of it.

That’s what I bring into every room.
