What do my clients say about working with me?

Struan

I really enjoyed that Fiona was able to give me practical skills to arrange my time and cope with being overwhelmed while also helping work out how I wanted to lead.
Over a year on, I know my core my leadership principles, how I want to connected with people and build teams and include people in change in the future.

Andrew

I feel like she completely reorganised my headspace and helped me to find ways of working that suited me; to find my own way to do my job, rather than fitting in with what I thought I needed to be. She's helped me manage my team better, to feel less weighed down, to understand myself better and to be able to see in a much clearer way what I need to do with my career. There were a good few moments where my thought process utterly changed for the better.

Sarah

Fiona is a warm and compassionate coach who really *gets* higher education and the challenges and opportunities it presents to HE professionals.

She helps you focus in on your strengths and how they line up with your career goals.

Fiona worked with me during a critical period in my career to enable me to make the best decision for me, my family, and my professional interests. She laid the groundwork to making me feel secure in making a courageous career decision - to go freelance - something that feels 100% right for me now, but was a distant vision before we met.

Wayne

The time spent with Fiona has been invaluable in rediscovering who I am as a leader and manger and what I want to achieve in my career. There are no easy answers but Fiona has asked the difficult questions and provided the impetus for rediscovery.

Iola

I would recommend Fiona to anybody struggling with finding a clear way forward, and wanting to understand underlying beliefs to help change behaviours and feelings.

Lisa

I highly recommend Fiona. She is warm, welcoming, and her love for her work is infectious.

Fiona has a strong understanding of the HE sector and how to get the best out of the people in it. She has a way of drawing out your dreams, allaying your fears, and setting you on the path you need to be on. And she’ll be there to support you on the journey.
