Fiona has worked with leaders in:
I want to thank you for the work you did on the organisational audits, including the 121 follow up with me. I appreciate your candour, professionalism and ability to go with the flow in your meetings with the team when they didnât entirely go to plan! You were a pleasure to work with and the insights and recommendations for our business are invaluable.
Fiona is an outstanding coach. It was clear from our first session that she 'got me' instantly - both the nuances of my personality as well as what drives me. She held up a very valuable mirror to highlight the areas that I overlook to help me navigate my path forward. I looked forward to the sessions with Fiona, finding them to be warm, friendly and productive...and, ultimately, brilliant for helping to build confidence for business leadership.
Throughout my long career, I have never met anyone who could match Fionaâs outstanding interpersonal and communication skills. Those skills, when combined with her practical leadership experience, enable her to make a significant contribution to the careers and businesses of her clients.
