Developing Vision, Purpose and Mission for organisations
Needing some capacity support? Your team may be overwhelmed with existing delivery priorities and you ‘really need to get this work done’ but have no one to do it. I can help.
Not only will I produce great results in the timeframe we agree, but I’ll also share as much as I can with others to build up your capability in-house to help you future-proof.
It’s all very well having a great organisational vision – it’s quite another thing actually putting it into practice.
Learn the difference between Purpose (the why), Mission (the how) and Vision (the where). And how to bring others along with you through an effective communications and engagement strategy.
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.” Michael Porter
I provide consultancy services to help your organisation develop vision, mission and purpose collateral that not only looks good, but can actually walk the talk.
Getting started
Working with me is a straightforward process, as easy as one, two, three!
Step 1
Book a 15mins Zoom consultation to find out more about how I can best support you.
Step 2
We’ll discuss your needs and current challenges and opportunities you’re facing and what you’re most wanting out of hiring external consultancy support.
Step 3
You’ll get a clearer idea of how I can best support you (or not), and whether I am available to help you within your timeframes.

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.

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.

Being able to understand my strengths (and weaknesses) and when to lean in to use them for my advantage more, whether for work or personally, has been so beneficial to me and those around me. I would highly recommend working with her and I've mentioned to friends on more than one occasion to at the very least do their Clifton Strengths.

Antonia gave me such a great shake up. I walked into this journey with confidence; but it turns out it was a bit of a false confidence because I knew what direction I wanted to go, but I couldn't sell it to myself or others. Antonia gave me the tools and encouragement to seek my bigger picture with grace and a strengths-based lens. As a result, I have a renewed path to set my career towards and I will never forget this journey. I rate Antonia as world class in what she does based on her energy, values, knowledge, and vast experience. I have achieved what I didn't expect to do; to sharpen my focus, become clearer and efficient with my purpose and being able to enact precisely on what I need to do to become the leader I want to be. Antonia gave me the 'stretch' I was after; and challenged me in a beautiful way. I loved how she wasn't afraid to do this and I have benefitted so much as a result of the life-provoking questions she has asked of me.

Working with Antonia as my strengths coach was a game-changer. She made the whole process not just doable but actually enjoyable. From day one, Antonia created an environment that was safe, confidential, and super supportive, making each session feel like a tailored experience. Antonia had a way of pushing me to think beyond my usual limits, leading to some eye-opening moments for me and real personal growth. What's great is that she didn't just challenge me—she gave me practical tools to boost my strengths, that I am still using! If you're after a coach who's more like a partner in unlocking your strengths and is super nice and friendly, Antonia's your go-to. It's an investment in yourself that will really pay off.

I've had some 1:1 coaching sessions with Antonia and would totally recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more about their strengths in the workplace. I now have a much better understanding of the core strengths I bring to my workplace and how to focus these, and also what I need to thrive. Antonia is a wealth of knowledge and such fun to spend time with – I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach.
