Francis Brisson - Chief Financial Officer (CFO), NRCAN
I've known Fiona for years before having the opportunity to do a few coaching sessions with her. During our sessions together, I got to engage with the same Fiona I've known for years. Caring, passionate and a true desire to help others be the better version of themself. Asking the right questions at the right time to make you reflect on who you are as a person/leader. Fiona is really easy to open up to as she is an excellent listener and is very insightful with her questions and suggestions. I've learned so much about myself and what I need to do to be a better leader. Merci!

What I most liked in Fiona's coaching, is her presence, and her listening skills and highlighting what was said and what was unsaid then mirroring back in a way that created awareness for me and I was able to take a step forward towards my goal. She creates a trusting and safe space where I was able to feel at ease being vulnerable and sharing all that was in my mind.
Thank you, Fiona, for this great experience. All the best.

She has helped me to remain focused on the positive aspects and to change my perspective on the development opportunities instead of the seeing them as difficulties.

Eric Doiron - Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Government of Canada
Fiona was my key contact when I participated in various Leadership programs offered by the Office of the Comptroller General (OCG), and she’s still someone that I want to stay connected with. She did my leadership development assessments and was able to provide me with very good comments and advice for the advancement of my career. Fiona is a great listener and she’s able to adapt to any situation. I did not have the pleasure of having Fiona as my coach but based on my experience dealing with her and with her tons of experience, I have not a doubt that she’s amazing coach.
Sona Sharma - Director, CRA
Fiona is a great coach and mentor as she helped to identify and develop my key leadership competencies. As part of development program with OCG, she was heavily involved in action learning sets, and was able to recognize the strength and weakness of different participants effectively. Her passion towards professional development of public servants is evident through her engagement and hard work towards developing different programs for financial officers. Personally, she encouraged me to leave my comfort zone and experiment with new role to develop myself as a promising leader. Thank you, Fiona, for your valuable advice and guidance, you are great asset to public service.
Danielle H - Police Officer - U.K
Where do I start. When I first connected with Fiona, it was to initially talk through a challenge I was having and to see if it was something she could help me with. On a personal level, we connected immediately, the day after our first coaching session, I noticed a difference in how I showed up. I was able to recognize my own attitude and feelings, I even noticed some sensations that were quite subtle and deep, of which she allowed me space to explore further.
With Fiona, her style is unique, I can honestly say that I was easily able to talk through my deep feelings with ease and she allowed me the space and courage to be my true self. She listened actively and ask probing questions that really made me challenge my thinking process.
Thank you Fiona for your inspiring, insightful and energizing sessions! It was amazing that in each of our one hour sessions, I was able to view my situation from a completely new perspective and could then begin to see the wood from the trees. I was then able to see the path clearly from all sides and reach an amicable solution that certainly met my needs.
I truly appreciate you and your authentic style.
