Fiona Anderson

I have worked with Fiona as my coach for the past year or so. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her. She has shown me different strategies to take forward in both my professional and personal life. I would highly recommend Fiona. I do think it has supported my own personal development in wanting to become a Coach. I will continue to use some of the tools and strategies that we have worked on during our sessions together! P.

As my career coach and mentor, Fiona has guided me through difficult decisions, challenges in people management and stepping out of my comfort zone. Fiona empowers me through tools and advice to be the best leader I can be. I always feel inspired and motivated after our sessions and she continually helps me to see the path that aligns with my core values and goals. I would highly recommend Fiona to individuals looking to dig deeper than the veneer level on their values and align their personal and professional life in alignment with them. She will challenge your thinking and create positive change!

I have had the absolute privilege of having undergone a coaching and mentoring programme with Fiona. Fiona has always been a trusted resource for our organisation and I knew straight away that Fiona was the coach for me. I started the programme with Fiona with various matters/issues that I wanted to work through and Fiona’s valued based coaching opened up for me how the conflicting priorities in my life were causing me anxiety. Together through the sessions, Fiona coached and mentored me and within 2 sessions, I could already feel that I had changed so much on my outlook work and personally, the way I approached difficult situations, have difficult conversations and finally the belief in myself. If you are looking for a coach, then I highly recommend Fiona.

I had the privilege of working with Fiona on a one-to-one basis for a 12-month period during a time of significant change in my professional and personal life. At the time, I was balancing various personal challenges whilst also managing professional stresses as a GP during the global pandemic. In addition, in my work in medical politics, I was in a senior leadership role in a professional membership organisation which was going through a time of change and Fiona helped me to understand both my own feelings and the differing perspectives of others. She helped me to manage a process of change within the organisation, improve my own leadership and executive skills, boost my self-confidence, and successfully manage conflicting views within the organisation. Invaluable skills were learned which have proved their long-term value since then. Fiona was a delight to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I am confident that time invested working with Fiona is time well spent. GP and Chair of Professional Practice

Fiona has been amazing. It is hard to put into words the personal and professional impact she has had on me at a crossroads I was stuck at. Her insightful, supportive approach has had a lasting and tangible impact on me, more than she will ever recognise possibly from a reluctant but grateful client.

Fiona's coaching has been an invaluable experience. Her supportive and insightful style allowed me to recognize areas of improvement and the reasons that these will help me and my team to be more successful. She helped me to understand and overcome barriers I was setting for myself and provided me with the tools I needed to embark on a continued journey of personal growth with a new found confidence. I cannot thank Fiona enough for taking the time to support me in a period of great personal and professional change. I am confident that her support will have a lasting effect on me, and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about getting some professional coaching to speak to her. You won't regret it.

Fiona kindly delivered a guest lecture for HRM students at NTU undertaking their undergraduate degree. She gave an engaging and informative insight from an organisational perspective, enabling our students to apply theoretical knowledge to reality - building HRM professionals of the future.

Fiona was recommended to support with a change programme in 2018 initially for Executive coaching and then team coaching as we embarked on a programme to transform the UKI Resourcing function within DHL Supply Chain. On meeting Fiona I immediately felt at ease, she is open, honest and innovative and provided quality advice and a new perspective during a significant period of personal growth. I was well and truly out of my comfort zone and adjusting to a new more senior role, yet with Fiona’s help I developed confidence, belief in myself and got comfortable with being uncomfortable. In addition to the personal coaching we engaged Fiona to support us on a team change programme. Working together we were able to deliver the vision and bring the team along the journey with excellent results including a 22% increase in team score when asked the following question: I am confident we can achieve our vision and what is needed from us to achieve The Roadmap and our Strategy. We also saw a marked increase in the team employee satisfaction score and customer service scores internally. Amanda Dudley.

Working with Fiona in a coaching capacity has been genuinely transformative for me on a professional level. Fiona’s style is one that encourages you to be completely open and honest about the challenges you are facing, and there is a high level of trust. This is essential for a productive relationship with your coach and is why I have found it so rewarding working with Fiona. This approach has allowed us to explore a number of issues that have been holding me back professionally. Fiona’s extensive knowledge and experience of the workplace and of how we function as individuals and groups has then come into play in terms of working out how to make progress. Through our sessions, I have built a set of approaches and developed my mindset and confidence, such that I’ve been able to successfully address some very challenging professional situations, which would not have been possible without Fiona’s support. I have changed roles and employers over time but one constant is that I continue to draw on Fiona’s invaluable expertise. KK, Senior Manager, university/charity sector

One word that would describe Fiona is AMAZING! She has brought out the best in me even when I thought I was not confident enough to be who I am. We met with Fiona at a point in life when I was second guessing my value at the work place. She reaffirmed me and taught me how to develop self confidence- she guided me in establishing a mantra that I would say out loud whenever impostor syndrome crept in. The transformation was AMAZING. It built my self confidence and improved on my ability to retain information. I was more at ease with myself because I had confidence in the person I am. To be honest, she is best coach I have interacted with. She has also guided me in handling tough situations at work-not prescribing a solution but stimulating my thought process on the possible solutions. I recommend her to anyone looking to develop themselves. You will not regret. Thanks Fiona! Shine on! Grace M. (Gender practitioner and agribusiness specialist)
