About Emily
With more than 25 years of leadership experience, Emily Caldwell is passionate about helping people better understand who they are and how they grow best. She serves as the Director of StrongPoints at Meredith College and teaches in a graduate and EdD leadership program, including courses such as Leading Boards and Staff. She works with individuals, teams, and mission-driven organizations to strengthen leadership, build confidence, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
As a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach and BoardSource-Certified Board Consultant, Emily brings both practical experience and a strengths-based lens to her work.
She holds a Master’s degree in Nonprofit Leadership and is completing ICF-accredited coach training toward her ACC credential. Her coaching is grounded in positive psychology and centered on helping people recognize what’s already in them, uncover what matters most, and take meaningful next steps with confidence.
Her work has also extended internationally to Ecuador, where she partners with community leaders and organizations to support strengths-based development and sustainable growth—experiences that continue to shape her perspective on leadership, purpose, and the power of investing in people.
