Fiona worked with us to improve problem solving, communications, managing change and navigating conflict both internally and in leading the wider business. Fiona was very professional, personable, and skilled and we have continued to apply the insights ever since.

As a bishop, I’m ultimately responsible for what happens in the diocese. Fiona’s coaching helped me see two crucial things: firstly, that I don’t have to carry every aspect of that burden alone, and secondly, how I can start to draw others in. The insights around discerning and casting vision and learning to change culture were paradigm shifting. They gave me a different approach that really helped shift the conversation.

Fiona’s coaching helped me separate out the many complex operational issues facing us from the handful of big strategic choices we really needed to make. She also gave us some practical guidance on how to start to tackle these fundamental decisions. It’s made such a difference.

The coaching sessions have given me an invaluable space to talk through various leadership challenges. Fiona’s ability to offer specific insights, illuminated with examples and practical tools, has also helped me translate ideas into concrete action. I look forward to each session and leave with fresh perspective and encouragement.

Fiona enabled me to recognise that challenges I faced were not unusual, and she helped me build confidence to see that they could be tackled and overcome. Through coaching, we were able to bring structure to a loosely defined set of related concerns, and to prioritize which areas to tackle first. The sessions provided much-needed space to think, and Fiona has balanced well the facilitative role with constructive guidance.

Fiona’s coaching helps me clarify and untangle the issues I was wrestling with. Yet again, she’s helped me leave with some clear implementation goals. It is really valuable for me to get this external perspective and challenge.

My coaching sessions offer a valuable space to step back and take stock on key issues. This chance to see the bigger picture and have space to work through the challenges with her as a sparring partner and fresh pair of eyes has been incredibly helpful. The sessions allow me to order my thoughts and get clear on the decisions that need to be made.

Fiona's coaching was a great support for me at a key moment. She helped me untangle a complex set of opportunities, figure out the right next step and start moving forward. Her objectivity, fresh perspective and appreciation of the bigger picture made all the difference!

Fiona asks good, insightful questions. Her decades of leadership experience also means she generally has an excellent read of the wider situation, politics, and dynamics. All of which make her a highly effective advisor and coach for those working in senior business leadership roles where the stakes are high and the pressure to perform is intense.
