Scott Fuller UK

“I signed up to work with Toni on her 5-week programme of mentorship, straight talking, encouragement, perspective, insight and a heavy sprinkling of #TonisFairyDust.

Toni’s support has enabled me to assess and strengthen how I position myself as a consultant and strategic leader, which is already paying dividends.

I’d highly recommend Toni as someone who can be trusted to invest in you, if you invest in the process!”

Dr Julian Thompson DPhil Board Chair Social Causes - UK

“Reaching out to Toni was one of the best decisions that I made last year. She is full of energy, has a wonderful way of broadening your professional perspective, and is one of those rare individuals who genuinely goes the extra mile for their clients. It was great working with her, and I recommend her services without hesitation.”

Shelley Aldred Public Sector Senior Leader – UK

“Toni will turn you inside-out, make you look at yourself from unfamiliar perspectives and then summarise you in a way you might not recognise at first, but she is prospecting for gold - and finds it where others fail to dig! Thank you, Toni.”

Alastair Amith Chief Executive – Social Causes UK

“Toni is a consummate professional, driven, meticulous, possessing great skill and ability to grasp the essential details of a brief and deliver on time with high quality!

I had the pleasure to work with her on a youth project at very short notice, with a very tight deadline. The task required comprehensive details of youth work legislation, government and local authority knowledge. Toni delivered, I was very impressed with her support, attention to detail and assistance throughout the whole task.

Looking forward to working on similar projects in the future, I will certainly be recommending Toni's services to my colleagues and other organisations, I know could benefit from her depth of knowledge and experience.”

Lisa Eynon Private Sector – Wales UK

“I had the privilege to work with Toni recently on a project and would like to recommend her work. She helped me prepare for an interview, and to be quite honest, without her help, I really don't think I would have got the job. She is extremely good at motivating people, and she certainly gave me the confidence that I lacked.

Toni is a conscientious and dedicated person, and her professionalism is to be admired. I would highly recommend Toni's work to anyone.”

Karen Stewart Strategic Lead – Public Sector UK

“Toni McLelland's coaching is recommended especially for those who need help moving to the next level, each task is broken down into achievable chunks which builds confidence and accelerates progress towards reaching your goals. I'm therefore always happy to use Toni's services as and when needed.

Thank you for being on this journey with me over the years which has seen me develop strategically in senior roles to me setting up my own business. I have developed my thoughtful reflective self and experienced the unknown without fear or excuses. Thank you, Toni!”
