21 October 2025 MEDIA RELEASE - AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S SMALL BUSINESS CHAMPION AWARDS
Emma Shannon and Tapley Search Group featured twice in AFR
Emma was featured in the Australian Financial Review in June 2025 sharing an authentic perspective on the juggle: caring responsiblities, career, and what balance really looks like behind the scenes.
Thanks to Hannah Tattersal from the AFR for spotlighting Tapley Search Group along side the likes of PwC and Australia Post in this important conversation.
In September 2025 Emma and Tapley Search Group were mentioned and Emma was interviewed for the article “Geoff has been made redundant before. This time he saw it coming” in the AFR.
Emma brings warmth, insight, and lived experience to every stage and conversation. As a founder, single mum, and late-diagnosed ADHD woman, she speaks with authenticity, humour, and heart, whether in keynote talks, media interviews, or intimate workshops.
She’s available for speaking events, media opportunities, workshops, and keynote talks across corporate, not-for-profit, and community spaces.
For bookings, rates, or more information, please reach out to Emma directly.
