Fiona engaged very well with my company. She is warm and felt engaged with what we do …setting up the people who are engaged with the training and setting up their thoughts, and a framework, then measuring it afterwards. Tools, techniques and materials were all really good, really supportive, lessons really good. In terms of engagement, Fiona was very positive and very professional in every area. Delivery and materials were clear and professional.”
Heidi Black, The Rooflight Company

“Fiona has been involved in the delivery of the Demand and Capacity Trainer Programme since the course started in September 2017. She has delivered to several cohorts now, as well as delivering bespoke training to our team. She always delivers with a high level of professionalism and obviously takes great joy in her work. Her natural manner with people puts them at their ease and enables her to coax the very best out of those she works with.”
Alice Lundsten, Demand and Capacity Programme Delivery Officer

“The insight from Fiona brought about a tremendous change in my work. It brought me to the forefront of my team, where I was able to convey my thoughts and opinions confidently and cohesively. The classes provided me with an edge in a highly competitive environment and helped develop a skill set which I believe will stay with me forever. It was a pleasure working with Fiona, and I highly recommend her classes to anyone wishing to improve their interpersonal skills.“
Vidur Jain, Commercial Director at Orchard Funding Group Plc

“Fiona introduced me to some enlightening speech delivery techniques which I was unaware of. I particularly enjoyed learning some skills which help maintain the flow of speaking whilst engaging with the audience. Fiona’s enthusiasm is contagious and her coaching style is both encouraging and motivating. I recommend her lessons to anyone wishing to improve and enhance their performance.”
John McGhee, Education Director – Swindon Speakers Club, ASC Area President – Cotswold & Wessex

“I engaged Fiona as an MC for an award ceremony run by Didcot First Ltd. She was a pleasure to work with, spending time before the event to really get to grips with the role not just of compere but also taking on the wider responsibility of co-host for the event. She was exceptionally diligent and brought a real sparkle to the evening. If you need an MC, Compere or Host for an event I would have no hesitation in recommending Fiona to you.”
Di Chesterman, Community and Participation at Didcot First

“Your lessons, especially the speech part, helped me a great deal with the work experience I have done on my health and social class at school, in an old people’s home and a special school, especially as I had to use non-verbal communication too and I got high marks for my evaluation on my communication on my work experience, which I think has a lot to do with you!”
Nikki, 15

“Fiona was great at helping me to understand the mood of the characters that I was playing and to get the right body language and voice to make them come alive. She also really helped with the preparation and warming up, ensuring that people’s voices projected and that we all felt confident. It was great fun working with her.“
Martin, adult learner, 2016

“On the NYT Film Course, we did the mmmm-aaaaah exercise with Simon today and it’s the first time I’ve done it with anyone except you. When I told Simon, he said I have a really nice clarity to my voice and that’s probably because of you. Shout out to my speech and drama coach 😉 “

“Fiona, the co-director with Janet, was great at her job and was always helpful and encouraging to everyone whether they were struggling or were at the stage where they were doing fine but they always had something they could improve on! :-)”
Clara, age 10, who performed in Godspell  2016

“During a recent production of the musical Godspell which Fiona co-directed I noticed that she was able to give the young people in the cast confidence to perform to an audience and helped them to realise their inner potential . She made herself available to offer them 1-1 tutorials in her home. The difference in these young people really shone through and enabled them to achieve an outstanding performance in front of a packed audience.”
Janice, Godspell producer

“I never knew I could do anything like this; I thought I was just ordinary. Thank you for helping me gain enough confidence to go up on stage and perform.”
Sophie, 13

“Coming to drama every week has given me a happy and calm environment to truly express myself. I have loved every moment; it’s allowed me to not just have loads of fun and meet great people but feel more comfortable and be myself. I am so grateful to have met you and be part of M A D. It’s been brilliant.“
Rebecca, 16 (UK, 2009)

“In a recent production of ‘Godspell’ … Fiona was positive, enthusiastic and encouraging to all the actors involved who ranged from 7 to adult. Fiona has a wealth of experience regarding acting skills and voice projection; she outlined ways to warm up before rehearsals, how to use the stage and our voices, as well as ideas for conveying meaning to the audience. She brought a sense of fun and excitement and her explanations were clear, upbeat and positive. I learnt a great deal about speaking and acting even though I was just part of the chorus!”
Madeleine, adult learner

“Being a part of your drama lessons this year has been wonderful. They have been full of fun, jokes and laughs, but have also taught me not only about drama and theatre but about myself. Greater self-confidence and a sense of worth are only a few of the things I have taken away with me.”
Lara, adult learner

“Fiona is one of the most genuine people I know. Her passion for life and for drama manifests itself within the first five minutes you meet her. You cannot help but smile when you’re with her.”
