Antonia facilitated two team days, plus a leadership coaching day. I found Antonia to be a warm, engaging, empathetic and energetic coach. Antonia was very well prepared for each of her days with us, bringing a range of resources to help draw out gems in our discussions. She is innovative and creative and uses these talents to make the sessions fun, memorable and insightful. I would highly recommend Antonia as a coach and facilitator.

I cannot speak highly enough of Antonia’s coaching. Her guidance has had an incredibly positive impact on me and my career, especially as I navigated a new senior role in a new country. Antonia helped me gain valuable clarity and insights, providing the support and perspective I needed to adjust and excel in this new environment. Her expertise, thoughtful approach, and genuine commitment to my success made all the difference. I am truly grateful for her support during this transition, and I have no doubt that anyone would greatly benefit from her coaching.

I met Antonia at an event, and just got hit with this bouncy energy and enthusiasm. And it is infectious. Antonia is a professional coach who genuinely wants to help you be the most amazing human you can be. Working with the CliftonStrengths method, Antonia helps you identify your unique strengths and how to get them to work for you. Perhaps like me that can be a hard thing to accept, hard to realise the potential you have. Antonia is supportive and patient in guiding you to see your strengths, acknowledge them and align them with your purpose. In just two hours Antonia had flipped my perspective, stamped down my doubts, and given me confidence to use my newly identified strengths to get so much more out of life. Working with Antonia has been life changing for me. It was the catalyst for a lot of personal and professional development for me, accepting things I viewed as flaws, and turning them into strengths. Working with Antonia might be the most valuable investment you make in yourself, your career, or your workplace. Even with just a few hours of your time, she will help you get so much more from life.

Most often we focus on our weakness and want to get better at overcoming them. We random turn our attention to leveraging what strengths we might have. This is where Antonia steps in. As a Gallup Strength Coach, Antonia helps us focus our attention on finding the good in us. I did a strengths training session as part of my team development exercise recently and this has set me thinking about how to stay in touch with my core skills set. Through Antonia's session, our team discovered individual strengths and how to use that to play to the team goals. I am intrigued to continue and definitely recommend doing a session with Antonia.

I really wish I had discovered my Clifton Strengths earlier in my career. But I'm so pleased I have now. This workshop is the best 90 minutes I have spent on Zoom in the last two years. Antonia is an excellent facilitator, knows her stuff and not only did I learn a lot but I had fun too.

I highly recommend Antonia's Virtual Strengths Discovery Workshop. It offers a great introduction to Strengths with interactive activities that really make you think and help embed what you have learnt. I found everything so fascinating and wish the time hadn't passed so fast! The fact that Antonia is also such a lovely, passionate and caring facilitator is an added bonus too. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to continuing on my strengths journey using the excellent post-course resources Antonia provides. Thank you!

I really enjoyed my Strengths Overlander experience with Antonia and Sarah (complete with a safari theme!) It was a great chance to reflect on my Strengths in more depth, and to meet new people and hear about how they work with their strengths. It was the right mix of fun and deep-and-meaningful, and felt like catching up with old & new friends. Antonia and Sarah also shared some handy take-home resources and did a good job of getting us to set some commitments for 'what next'.
