“Fiona is unlike most women I have ever met or done business with! Her direct, candid approach is very refreshing. She offers a great breath in supporting women and in fact helped me review my skill set and focus on my strengths so I can showcase them to potential clients and employers…Working with her has been a game changer for me!!!”

Marta Hill GrayCEO, Gray Matter Group/SCE Inc. • MartaGrayMatters.com

“Hiring Fiona as my career coach has been one of the best investments of my life! She provided great coaching in helping me find the right words that best describe who I am and what I can offer an employer. With her guidance, I am now more confident, aware of my accomplishments and I know exactly where I want to go in my career. I am very proud to say that I received a job offer yesterday and accepted it (for even more money than I would have hoped from her guidance and market knowledge!). I couldn’t have done it without her!”

Manon HouleBilingual Business Analyst (BPM)

Fiona, (The Bryan Group/ Ask a Career Expert), was pivotal in my “rebranding” efforts in order to continue landing quality consulting/contract assignments.

Her coaching and hands on approach resulted in producing a refreshed resume and more importantly, create a compelling and more visible LinkedIn profile. This has led to increased interest in recruiters, and as a marketing tool, provides a crisp presentation of my skills and my “brand” to recruiters and prospective clients alike.

Fiona’s mock interview questions and approach provided insightful, direct and actionable feedback that allowed me to respond to age old questions in a fresh and authentic way.

In the end, Fiona provided the injection of objectivity and marketing savvy necessary to kick-start the next leg of my consulting journey. And no matter how experienced I am in searching for my next role, having a seasoned professional like Fiona supporting your efforts cannot be overstated.

Thank you, and wishing you continued success, Fiona!

Louanna Chu, CMC – Program Director

“From the coaching I’ve done with Fiona I’ve made huge shifts and have a much more positive mindset and her corporate/career coaching just helped me land my dream job! She’s really taught me how to be empowered, how to be true to me, how to address what’s holding me back – and so much more. Not once have I ever felt judged by Fiona and she’s always empathetic. Fiona has helped me achieve major freedom in my life – and for that I will always be thankful to her.”

K. M. W.Technology Delivery Executive

“Fiona was recommended to me as a great resource for professional guidance and support for a significant career negotiation that I was entering into. Over the weeks that followed, Fiona and I worked closely to successfully gain a much deeper understanding of the client’s offering and the opportunity. Through our joined efforts I feel that I really gained significant ground and better understood my position. Fiona’s guidance allowed me to clarify what I could expect and what I wanted to ask for in order to generate the outcome that I wanted. And we got that – I received the desired offer detailing exactly what I was looking for! The strategy and work we did was invaluable. I gained a lot from this exercise in negotiation and communication strategy that has been carried into both my professional and personal life and I continue to use these tools today. It was such a positive experience working with Fiona that I have already recommended her to several people in my network.”

J. AnsaraDigital Analytics Expert

“As COO of a financial software company, Fiona worked with me and others in the executive team to acquire some of the best talent we hired. Unlike most other consultants we’d worked with, Fiona actually came to our offices frequently and took the time to meet with me and my team to assess what our real needs were. She would always help us manage our expectations and re-align our ‘ask’ to make it realistic in terms of being able to find the high level of talent we wanted in a meaningful period of time. This allowed us to hire a better fit faster. At the same time, it ensured that expectations on both sides of the equation, after the initial onboarding, were well met. In other words, both sides knew exactly what they were walking into. No other consultant I have worked with took the time to understand and set expectations with such clarity!”
