I can definitely recommend Dr Iona as a coach, she is someone who is insightful and knowledeable. She understood my goals and challenges (workplace politics, etc) and I found it useful to have a coach that asked questions but also had suggestions.

My online coaching sessions with Iona were really useful for identifying some specific steps I could take to develop my business and get the best out of me and my team. I liked that Iona always set me specific goals or worksheets to complete, which made me more focused and accountable. She is both action-oriented and incredibly thoughtful in her coaching style. While working together I felt there was the perfect level of support and challenge. I often find myself jumping between different business ideas and paths, so it was good to have someone help me channel my focus. She asked me some difficult questions that made me think twice but ultimately helped me be much more focused and successful with my career. Thanks Iona for all of your help!

I had 6 sessions of coaching with Iona as part of a leadership development program that my company offered. I hadn't done coaching before so to be honest I wasn't exactly sure how it worked, but it ended up being really helpful. We talked through different leadership styles and found some areas that I could improve in, like being clearer communicating my expectations to direct reports and not fixing problems for them. The biggest change for me was that I´m now more confident showcasing my achievements to upper management and I think it's really helped my reputation at work. Thanks Iona

Iona was recommended by a colleague of mine and I had 4 sessions with her to help me prepare for a new role that required a pivot into a new sector, while also involving greater leadership responsibilities. We had plenty of discussions about how to communicate my strengths in the interview and also which skills I wanted to develop at work. I would say that it definitely increased my confidence about being capable of taking on the new role, and gave me some ideas I now use regularly when managing people.
