"Fiona’s coaching has been extremely valuable in helping me to plan a major work and life change. Her mix of encouragement and challenge made me think more broadly, allowing me to find solutions I would not otherwise have considered and giving me the incentive to pursue them.
In planning the sessions together, we were able to develop a coaching programme focusing on my specific needs and at times uncovering additional areas where I found Fiona’s support useful.
Not only has this helped me address an otherwise daunting challenge, but I have also learnt some valuable lessons about myself, which I will use in tackling other challenges in the future."
Client planning retirement and relocation
"I found Fiona very calm and professional. I appreciated her understanding and ability to grasp my situation quickly. Fiona was prepared to challenge me, but in a very sympathetic way, even when this was uncomfortable for me. Coaching was very worthwhile in helping me decide my own way forward and making me address questions that are necessary but less comfortable."
Client considering career change
"Fiona has a natural manner that puts people at their ease, allowing them to think more clearly and explore new ideas. She balances this with a steady impetus to make progress in each session.
Fiona is also good at reflecting back answers and in spotting and pointing out inconsistencies that I had not noticed myself. This helped me to understand how I was coming across and exposed some areas in my attitudes of which I was unaware. In turn, this became a significant benefit during other parts of our discussions, and gave me a much improved understanding of myself."
