“I always left our sessions feeling refocused, energised and empowered.”
“Fiona’s unique background in medical leadership, public health and psychology means I trust her completely to understand my situation.”
I came to coaching with Fiona after a very difficult couple of years in a leadership role, knowing that I needed to work through some issues that were affecting my wellbeing and causing me to doubt my suitability to lead. Fiona is an extremely skilful coach - her compassion, professionalism and expertise have made a huge impact on me... Not only do I feel much happier and confident, I've been able to use the skills I've developed to manage new challenges and to become a better leader.
You are a transformational coach who has enabled me to significantly improve my performance and wellbeing. I enjoyed working with you because you were both assertive and compassionate and enabled me to achieve my specific goals. I would recommend your services to anyone in a professional role because the experience I had went way beyond my expectations and has had such a positive impact on my stated outcomes.
I came to Fiona at a stage in my career where I felt on the edge of burnout, unable to keep going as I was, but unable to understand what I needed to do to move forwards... Fiona has helped me disentangle the multiple strands of my professional and personal life and compartmentalise each one in such a way that I can plan a future... It has been so important to me that Fiona is medically qualified and works exclusively with senior people in the healthcare profession. It gives her an insight and experience that other career coaches don't have.
She was very empathic and demonstrated both an excellent knowledge of the feelings and psychological pressure we sometimes go through and how to put things into perspective by looking at the real-world.
“I am committed to supporting and developing outstanding medical and public health leaders who are able to thrive in complexity and chaos, bring clarity and compassion to those they serve, improve health outcomes, and take care of themselves in order to enable their own best work. I promise to get to the heart of what you need to flourish in your career and leadership role – I’ve been in your shoes and will walk alongside you every step of the way.”
