Fiona was recommended to me by a colleague who had attended one of her women’s events. We were looking for a different “voice” to address our Franchisees at our annual conference. HomeTech has been having its annual conference for over 20 years so we are very particular and focused on who we get as our Keynote speaker. HomeTech is in the service business installing Solatube skylights and ventilation nationwide through its franchised installation network. Fiona’s was fantastic. Rather than delivering a generic message, Fiona spent a lot of time prior to the conference probing into how the business ticks and our expectations and the message we wanted to be delivered. This also involved interviewing several Franchisees before the conference. In Fiona’s presentations over two days, there was a lot of interaction with the team and breakout exercises. Fiona not only delivered the message; she took it to another level and well and truly exceeded our expectations. We have seen significant improvement in some of our franchisee’s performance in a short time. HomeTech is extremely pleased with the successful conference Fiona created for us. I would recommend Fiona’s services to any company that wants practicality, energy, and value for money. We are extremely pleased with our investment.
Real businesses.
Real growth.
Real results.
Hear from the business owners and teams who've made their breakthrough.
Before working with Fiona, my biggest fear/worry about hiring a coach was that I’d end up spending a lot of money & not getting much out of it.
I chose Fiona & her BreakThrough Women in Business Program after researching a huge number of coaches, because it was important for me to find someone who was capable & able to make a measurable difference to my business.
I’ve worked with mentors in the past but Fiona is by far the best coach I have had! I definitely made the right choice!
The results from working with Fiona & the BreakThrough Women in Business Program were a total success!
Fiona has helped me organize, structure, set & meet targets, clarify and the amount that I’ve achieved working alongside her has been amazing!
I have received real value working together with Fiona & I say if you are thinking of getting Fiona on board, “Do it! You’ll see results quickly!
When I met Fiona I knew instantly that in front of me was a very savvy and commercially astute business coach and consultant. Fiona’s personable nature and genuine passion for her clients and their business success, is evident. Offering bespoke solutions for any business owner, as well as innovative and targeted programmes designed specifically for women. They say the proof is in the pudding and having had the pleasure of working directly with Fiona’s clients, they are a true testament to the exponential impact her systems and approach have had not only on their business, but with staff and their own professional development. An expert in her field proven time and time again, Fiona is the accountability partner and support structure every business owner needs. One to ‘walk the talk’, Fiona is a business coach and consultant that I am happy to recommend without hesitation.”
I have been working with Fiona just over a year and she has helped me build my business to what it is today. I have had a 75% increase in turnover. I would highly recommend taking the steps to bring Fiona on board in your business. I have come across many business advisors/coaches but no one comes close to the service and hands on approach like Fiona.
I contacted Fiona when I needed to gain clarity of where to take my business next. I was feeling overwhelmed and suffering from the “paralysis by analysis” phenomena with no idea where to start to reach my business bliss. After completing my business audit with Fiona, I had a clear vision of where I was headed and was given detailed steps on how to get there. She gave me a road map to my success. I’ve gone from feeling terrified and confused to being clear and purposeful. Fiona understood what I wanted and gave me great ideas and inspiration to follow. I highly recommend her!
We contracted Fiona to help formulate a practical Business Plan for the next 12 months. She was generous with her time and expertise, quickly grasping the nature of our business and identifying the main issues needing attention. Fiona is highly organised and motivated, with a great sense of humour and a determination to see her clients succeed. We have enjoyed working with her and now have a clear step-by-step plan to implement, along with practical strategies to make it easy.
When deciding to grow our firm, we needed to know how to go about it in a sustainable way. During the time we worked with Fiona we developed a Business Plan, Action Plan, created marketing material, identified who to target our business towards and achieved great results. Better systems helped us to set aside time to focus on the running of the business – something we had previously struggled to do. We have now set our business up for the future and are looking at expanding further in the next 12 months, comfortable in the knowledge that we have the skills and procedures in place to do so.
Fiona was recommended to me by a colleague of mine, and I am very pleased I made contact with her. She has helped me come up with new strategies and a new way of thinking to help increase my business. Now instead of patchy bookings, the clinic has solid bookings in advance and turnover has increased 30 – 40% in 3 months.
As a small business owner Fiona gave me the confidence to think about my business differently. I have been in the Travel Industry nearly 20 years, and after working with Fiona I have increased the leads I am getting and turning those leads into actual sales. She has helped me identify new opportunities, put good structures and processes in place, and take control of my business which has had a huge impact. She has enabled me to get excited again about my business and working with her is the best thing I could have done.”
I started working with Fiona in October 2012 on my 2 Physiotherapy clinics in Christchurch and Auckland. Since working with her, she has helped me achieve a huge growth rate in terms of patient numbers, resulting in an increase in turnover. I love working with Fiona as she has reputable experience as well as strategies that really work. She is also innovative and motivating, which I believe has helped me to see the increase in my business that I wished. I highly recommend her to anyone as a business consultant!
