Fiona Anderson

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)

Fiona throughout her career has exemplified integrity and honesty. She is a person who is sought after for her advice as she is an excellent listener and this is mirrored in her professional life. Through her thorough and empathetic questioning skills she seeks to get to the nub of situations and therefore has the ability to help you to address these quickly and effectively. She actively seeks to help you to explore to identify and own your own solutions. Fiona is hardworking with a committed work ethic thus ensuring that the tasks she sets and her clients set her are completely in a timely manner, as a matter of course. She always goes the extra mile. Which at a time of grave uncertainty is reassuring for anyone lucky enough to work with her. Catherine Montgomery
