““As a key member of the faculty, Fiona has contributed enormously to the success of the programme at The School of Life. We brought Fiona in because of the breadth and depth of her knowledge in both culture and personal development. Additionally she is a fantastic embodied facilitator with great presence. She brings professionalism, caring, a great understanding of facilitation and receives consistently excellent feedback. She exceeds expectations by being able to deal with difficult situations that develop emotionally in some of the sessions and always makes sure people walk away with something valuable. And Fiona is always a pleasure to work with, professional and very generous with her time.””

““Fiona is a fantastic speaker and really makes sure that you are engaged and that the tactics and approaches she shares are realistic and tailored to us. She provided a really great combination of small things we can pick and choose from and implement immediately as well as longer term approaches too. The sessions exceeded my expectations and I have been using many of the tips she provided since.””

““Fiona was wonderful to work with – very open, honest and informative. It feels like a switch has been flipped in my brain to just see my life from a different perspective. My life seems so much better and positive.””

““I have had an amazing experience being coached by Fiona. It was life changing, for the very real reason that my life has fundamentally changed for the better as a result of the discoveries I made about myself during our sessions. These sessions got me out of my head, and gave me the space and direction to have an honest conversation with myself about the kind of person I am and the kind of person I want to be. For anyone who wants to explore themselves and the ways in which they could live a more meaningful life, I could not recommend Fiona more.””

““Fiona was the headline speaker at The Weekend University’s ‘Day on Self Actualisation’ event in May 2020. I’ve been running monthly psychology conferences since 2017, and can safely say this was one of our most impactful presentations to date. Fiona’s unique combination of the latest scientific research, psychology, powerful storytelling and reflective exercises had our audience fully engaged throughout. If you’re looking for an original and thought-provoking who can deeply impact your audience, I highly recommend Fiona.””

““I had studied and worked to shape the best CV: top grades from highly-ranked universities and high-profile positions in prestigious companies. Yet, I lacked confidence in myself and in my abilities. I continuously thought I wasn’t enough. Notably, I thought I lacked what it takes to be a leader.
And it was then that I started working with Fiona. I feel now I am more assertive. I feel more confident from the awareness I now have of what I truly stand for.””

““The Leader Within course was an intense journey really getting under the skin of what makes us, us. Fiona takes you gently through some deep topics with each week building on the one before. Self-leadership is at the heart of the course and wherever you are in your life stage, you will learn so much more about yourself and how you lead yourself and others. It will certainly make you stop and think, and think differently in the future.””

““I was searching out a course that would assist me as my role developed at a fast pace. I felt unequipped to manage a growing team of people, and I knew my confidence was there, but it needed to be mined so that I could lead effectively. This course has done just that. It’s given me the tools that I needed and has untapped the sticking points that restricted my confidence levels for so many years. I do feel like a different person. The course was an intense and emotional ride and I now feel empowered and ready to start my next chapter. This course will change the way you look at life, help you to recalibrate and get to know your true whole self. I cannot recommend it highly enough (Leader Within).””

““Fiona’s talk on Authentic Leadership was the most empowering one I have had so far, both at The School of Life and outside of it. She immediately created a safe environment which helped me to reflect on a deeper level than I have before. I have always had a fear of the label ‘leader’ and now I see it in an entirely different way and am no longer scared of it. She inspired me to take action, and I have pushed myself and become a leader of a project I have always wanted to do but was scared of leading. Fiona is an inspiring and empowering individual, who has changed my life both as a leader and as a person. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Fiona, and I recommend others to take her course and to learn from her insights, experience and being.””

““Fiona holds a beautiful, safe space in which it is possible to lean forward or back as you need; she reveres silence and calm as much as energy and provocation. We were offered a wide range of tools, ideas, stimulations, frameworks and sources of inspiration, all of which continue to percolate and provide nourishment. Fiona is a coach of rare power, rigour and compassion, and so the one-to-one sessions are rocket fuel. I am back in touch with my Inner Leader, and can feel good things starting to move from that place.”

““I met Fiona when I was in the process of applying for a promotion and wanted support through the process and, if I was successful, into the first year of the job. Fiona offers both support and challenge. As a result of the work we’ve done I’ve won the promotion and got through my first year successfully achieving a number of challenging goals. I continue to meet with Fiona as I find the sessions a very useful part of my support network.””

““I thank my lucky stars that we met. You have been an incredibly supportive and wise counselor over the past year or so. I could not have gotten where we are now without you. So most grateful thanks!””

““Fiona helped me understand myself more and helped me clarify what my goals were. She also helped me to recognise and appreciate what I already had. One of the valuable teachings was about how to centre myself and focus. Thank you Fiona!””

““After over two years of restrictions, fear, pain and loss it has been a beautiful experience to meet the world again and feel I am not alone in this journey.
Thank you Fiona.””

““I began working with Fiona when I found myself at a difficult point in my professional life where I felt stuck and needed help to move forward. Fiona was an incredibly supportive and encouraging coach who helped me clarify my priorities and progress in a way I would have otherwise struggled to on my own. As a result of our work together, I have a far better understanding of myself, and made some big changes with no regrets.””

““Fiona portrays years of knowledge in an accessible and human way with a sense of genuine care and connection with the class participants.””
