I discovered Fiona as I was looking to improve my confidence in public speaking, and she delivered! I really liked Fiona’s teaching style and approach. Throughout our sessions, she was positive, fair with her feedback, and authentic. I definitely felt from day one that she genuinely cared about helping to improve my communication skills. I especially appreciated her emphasis on focusing on the audience when speaking, not the content or myself. It really helped me speak more confidently and build connection with my audience by keeping them in mind as the #1 focus. I'm very grateful for my time spent with Fiona and I genuinely recommend her if you're looking to improve your communication and public speaking skills. I'm much more confident in my public speaking now than I ever was before meeting her.
I recently met Fiona at an event where she moderated the closing session. She was brilliant, engaging, focused and entertaining. Talk to her - she may be just the one to transform your public speaking confidence!
Thank you Fiona for delivering your "Breathtaking Communication in IT" workshop for our IT Senior Management Team earlier this week.
You were enlightening, engaging and thought provoking which resulted in a level of engagement and keen questioning like we've never seen before...everyone was buzzing and I have no doubt that will continue for some time to come, as we make our individual changes into practice.

Engaging with Fiona was a gift that will keep on growing ! In addition to her expertise and credentials, I appreciated how Fiona partnered with me when and how I needed her to be, so wise and such fun with rigorous ease ! I achieved everything I wanted and more. And to end with a quote from her book! “Most importantly, you will know that your practise has been your greatest gift to your audience because you have the joy of fully engaging with them as you embody the message you deliver.” Breathtaking Communications, p.144 And it was. Thank you Fiona.
I worked with Fiona whilst preparing for my most important keynote to date. I have to say the whole experience has been a blast, enlightening and effective beyond all my expectations. Fiona kept me accountable to my preparation, coached me in speaking so my message had impact and was aligned with my deepest values. I truly felt like I had an ally at my side, championing, supporting and going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. She is a true master of her craft and so dedicated to her clients results. Voice, speech and presentation work really takes you places in terms of personal development and I am truly grateful for everything she has invested in me!
It has been my delight to be in a small ‘peer coaching’ group with Fiona for the last two years and have also benefitted from a number of 1:1 "thinking sessions". Fiona's enthusiasm and passion is inspiring, she is a patient and active listener and always has an insightful and challenging question to ask that encourages and provokes deeper reflection. As someone who is generally busy dashing around ‘doing stuff’, having the opportunity to simply ‘think aloud’ in the relaxed and supportive environment that Fiona creates cannot be underestimated.
I met Fiona in our village networking group and immediately was struck by her confidence and fantastic personal integrity.
I approached her with an overload of great ideas running through my mind. She suggested that I take part in her thinking environment course based on the principals of Nancy Kline which was enlightening from the very first session.
I was able to prioritise various areas of my personal and professional life. I gained in confidence and removed self-limiting beliefs. During this time I negotiated a number of important business meetings and secured a fantastic new role.
I would recommend Fiona to those who need any assistance with their career, performances, presentations or simply a confidence boost. Fiona is a great listener and has a number of unique techniques to increase confidence, help uncover hidden talents and handle the pressures and anxieties that life presents us with.
