What is G3?

Growth. It’s what we all want. For our companies, for our teams, for ourselves.

In the life cycle of a business or through the arc of a career, growth sometimes feels effortless. However, as we expand our teams, clients, revenues, and costs, challenges seem to become bigger and more complex.

Through the years, we’ve found that those who rise above the challenges we all inevitably face are forever mastering two qualities: grit and grace. And they’re doing it with the right resources, staying nimble and cost-effective through flexible partnerships that focus on leadership and personal development.

When we have grit and can model it for our teammates at work, we clear all obstacles in the pursuit of excellence or simply achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Grit means summoning a new level of your best work when you didn’t think you had it in you. It means pushing through when you’d rather give up, and it means taking on more when you see a colleague buckling under pressure.

Grace means giving those around you a break. Being forgiving and allowing others room to take risks and fail, knowing that the lessons of failure make future success that much sweeter and more sustainable. Just as important, grace means giving yourself a break. Moving forward with lessons learned, not the baggage of letting others or yourself down.

Welcome to G3 Collective, where we continuously learn and relearn the lessons of grit and grace. When you combine these superhuman attributes, the result is growth.

Through coaching, training, and speaking from G3 Collective, we’ll help you get a firm grip on grit and grace and never sacrifice your growth.

Emily Wilmot

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Wife. Mom. HR professional. Corporate executive. Leadership development fanatic.

But really—just call her Emily. 

Meet Emily Wilmot, Founder and President of G3 Collective. With more than 30 years of experience as a corporate HR executive, Emily has coached and equipped thousands of leaders, managers, and employees across industries in the small to mid-sized space. Her secret? A deep belief that leadership isn’t about job titles—it’s about showing up with clarity, courage, and the kind of presence that makes people lean in (even in back-to-back Zoom meetings). 

Emily believes there’s a big difference between the roles we play and who we truly are. Whether she’s facilitating a workshop, coaching a rising leader, or speaking from the stage, she helps people reconnect with their core identity so they can lead from the inside out—and not just when the cameras are on. 

As a Maxwell Leadership Executive Program Leader, Emily brings world-class leadership principles, a lifetime of learning, and a good dose of practical wisdom to the table. Her collection of certifications in HR, leadership, and coaching aren’t for show—they’re tools, used strategically (and occasionally with flair) to help people grow into the leaders they were always meant to be. 

Her work bridges personal clarity with professional excellence, helping teams function as communities and organizations become cultures of purpose and trust. She’s known for turning “aha” moments into action—and making the hard stuff feel doable, even fun. 

Emily is a lifelong learner, a steady guide, and an unshakable believer in human potential. And if you catch her with a to-do list in one hand and coffee in the other, just know—she’s exactly where she wants to be: lifting others, leading forward, and laughing a little along the way.
