WHAT THEY ARE SAYING...
"Fiona provided coaching for the final in-person presentation of an important bid we were presenting. She helped us to focus our thinking on the most important messages to convey, structure our presentation (verbal and ppt), and, most importantly, gave us the confidence to strongly, yet empathetically communicate what we wanted to do and how it was going to be achieved. The result was that we were successful and left a very positive, lasting impression on the panel we were presenting to".
Professor Deidre Brown
Deputy Dean for the Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries
“Thank you for the fantastic well constructed few days and professional manner they where executed in. I could probably speak for all that the skills and techniques you and Nina imparted onto the group will be well utilised now and in the future”.

"Skott and Fiona organized an energetic, jam packed one day retreat for the HandsOn Hong Kong to help us kickstart our annual planning process. They took us outside our comfort zone both physically (through improvisation) and mentally. We ended the day buzzing with new ideas and full of excitement about the challenges ahead."
Caroline Sprod
Executive Director, Hands On Hong Kong
“The workshops give people the awareness and tools they need to become much more effective public speakers and presenters. The interactive workshops, de-mystify what makes for a powerful presentation and give people the opportunity to put into action and practice techniques in a supportive environment. Even our most accomplished presenters took away material they could put into practice immediately.”
Di Ludwig
Partner, WHK Gosling Chapman
At the heart of Fiona's work was the design and implementation of Q Theatre's strategy for building development partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders across the private, philanthropic and not-for-profit sectors. The success of these projects has been determined by the drive and energy that Fiona brings to her work- she is a highly skilled communicator, backed up with experience and practical tools for success to her work, which has had transformational results for Q Theatre. Fiona brings to her work an excellent balance of strategic thinking and practical implementation that make an incredibly valuable contribution to those she is working with."
James Wilson
CEO, Q Theatre
"Fiona is an engaging, professional and well organised presenter who has achieved outstanding results through her facilitation and expertise. The workshops provide our leaders an effective framework to develop their communication skills through drama, positive body language and innovative delivery techniques. We have seen a significant improvement in the quality of content and delivery of our business presentations from those who have participated in Fiona’s workshops and would highly recommend Fiona as a facilitator. I have personally benefited from Fiona’s coaching when tasked with delivering important business presentations to large audiences."
