““The Leader Within course will change the way you look at life, help you to recalibrate and get to know your true whole self. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
”
— Nicola, CEO

  • Over 70% of individuals who receive coaching benefited from improved confidence, work performance, relationships and more effective communication skills.

  • Coaching results in improvements in self-awareness, self-confidence and self-leadership, as well as leadership style, relationships, influence, conflict, power and personal life.

  • A company’s investment in Executive Coaching realized an average ROI of almost six times the cost of the coaching.

““Thoughtful Leadership is an outstanding book. In it readers will discover their own potential to lead. Fiona Buckland shows that the key to good leadership is to be self aware and find the true purpose in one’s life. I thoroughly recommend the book to all aspiring leaders.” 
”
— Satish Kumar, Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist
