You’re in the driver’s seat…
I’m someone you can springboard ideas off and who can provide you with useful tools and strategies to help get you to where you want to be.
Why work with me?
Others describe me as having ‘infectious enthusiasm’ for life in general – it’s pretty contagious actually!
My mission is to ignite potential in others and help them make a more positive impact in the work they do.
I ‘get’ your context. I may have even walked in your shoes. I empathise with the challenges, opportunities and changes you’re facing in the rapidly changing world we’re living in. I provide support, encouragement and challenge (as much as you want – let me know where you’re at on the ‘stretch’ scale when we start our relationship).
I help others ‘walk the talk’. It’s all very well having a great vision, or strategy – but unless you can implement it well, it’s just another thing on a bookshelf somewhere.
I speak action.

If you want to make more impact, lead a more fulfilling life, or want to help your team become more productive and engaged, then I am a good fit for you.
I am running a Strengths introduction workshop throughout the year to either refresh yourself with your strengths or help uncover your strengths for the first time.
It’s time to champion you. Discovering your strengths helps you understand your best self. You can make the most impact by utilising your strengths to help you focus your day-to-day attention on things that you know you can perform well in, get traction, and influence the world around you.

They say when the student is ready the teacher appears. No matter how old, bright, knowledgeable or experienced we are, there are times in life when we feel a little directionless or simply too exhausted to take the next step. I was in that phase not long ago and Antonia appeared out of nowhere! Being a Gallup strengths coach, Antonia helped me find my top strengths and understand my key drivers and behaviours which enthused me to take my next step and also gain insights into how to balance my strengths against each other as well as interact with people with complementary strengths. I had thought I understood my personality very well having been through different assessments. But Antonia’s approach is really different. She really listens without judgement and exudes warmth and enthusiasm and fills you with positive energy. Though young in years, she is very balanced and self aware, which I believe are essential traits of a good coach. I wish her all the best in her coaching career.

I first met Antonia when she ran Clifton Strengths sessions with a team I was part of. I loved her energy and drive to make sure these gatherings were purposeful and resulted in tangible results for individuals and the group. When I was looking for one-to-one coaching, it was a no-brainer to ask her and she’s been an asset to me as I figure out the next steps in my career. Reading the book, her purpose and passion for ensuring that the time spent together as a team doesn’t feel like a waste is clear in every section and I know that I’ll be using this resource to help guide my own practice.

This book is a must read for any facilitator who wants to have even more impact! What’s different about it? It isn’t a formula to follow, but more of an enabler that supports us to be authentically unique facilitators, helping us to hone our skills and continue to make the experiences we create even more intentional and purposeful. The food references throughout the book make the content very accessible, and the tools are well crafted and easy to follow. If there is one book you invest in this year, may it be this one!

I think you're an amazing facilitator Antonia, it was probably the best facilitation / workshop I've ever attended. You were really friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and approachable and helped to create a really nice vibe in the room. It was a great day and one that I think really helped to bring us closer as a team, and it certainly helped me to understand myself a bit better today.

This was our second coaching session with Antonia. Our first,when we first started our business almost 5 years ago, completely transformed the way we as a team work and understand each other thus making our workplace harmonious and industrious. Our small business has gone from high demand post covid to a much slower pipeline of business. We turned to Antonia for advice around rethinking and re-energising our business model to work for us. Antonia has completely revolutionised the way we think about our business and boosting revenue, while enjoying our work. In just a short time Antonia coached us to understand what drives us forward, how to plan for success and how to achieve the goals we have set ourselves. Antonia's drive, enthusiasm and joy for what she does directly translates into personalised actions for your team. She asks all the right questions and helps you to succeed as a team, we cannot commend Antonia's skills highly enough.
