"There is a gap between vision and execution in most businesses, institutions, start-ups, and social programs. Toni bridges this gap. She is an extraordinary person with exception skills. She is consistent and constant in her values and presence. Toni moves the ball forward in all endeavours, she is professional, and mission driven. Leading through crisis and change is a unique, exceptional skill set, created through depth of experience, constant learning and wise grounding in ethics and values. Toni is so solid. She knows who she is and helps so many see the path ahead and plan the necessary steps forward. Toni has vision combined with understanding and the business chops to advise, teach and deliver. Toni is an all-star facilitator, strategist, and critical friend. We all need some of Toni's magic in our lives."
"Rarely have I encountered a professional as motivated, compassionate, and forward-thinking as Toni. Her solid work ethic, perseverance, integrity, and extraordinary ability to deliver beyond expectations again and again is beyond reproach. In summary, Toni just "gets it done" on time, on target, every time. Her leadership skills are both rare and remarkable, distinguishing Toni from so many other top tier professionals."
"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. Toni is top draw."
"We had a coaching session, then a meal and my business life changed, what greater recommendation can I give? The chance to bounce ideas with her, talk things through in a safe but stretching space- it allowed me to make the changes necessary to move my business forward. Toni is funny, friendly and an expert at what she does. Don’t baulk at the price, this level of expertise is valuable, if you want diamonds you can’t expect to pay Poundland prices! I love working with her... you will too."
"Toni is a valuable person to have on your side and excels as a critical friend in business. Toni provided excellent constructive feedback on a funding proposal for an organisation she has been instrumental in supporting the CEO to build up from the ground. Toni’s in-depth knowledge of the client’s service and what they needed, helped tremendously. I have introduced Toni to my clients so they can benefit from her skills and knowledge, and I would not hesitate to do so again."
"Due to her strategic expertise and guidance, within one week of me implementing the plan mapped out by Toni, my business soared, and I am so grateful! I highly recommend Toni McLelland MSc! She has literally helped me scale my business AND a high ROI was achieved within the first month of hiring her! Definitely worth the investment."
"Toni is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her subject knowledge is so varied and her expertise in each of these areas has proved to be astonishing. Her ability to bring out the best in a person and their business potential is phenomenal. She demonstrates a clear passion for supporting individuals on their pathway to success, and to make sure success is achieved she will leave no stone unturned. If you really are ready to launch or relaunch your business, I would absolutely recommend Toni McLelland. If you’re feeling as if you are at a crossroads, do not hesitate to contact her. Her profile, as informative as it is, does not do her justice."
"Toni was recommended to me as I required a business coach. Firstly, her professionalism, experience and commitment are outstanding. Toni supported me in many ways and made me face my fears and filled me with confidence and excitement in the progression of my business. Toni has given me the tools required for business and how to strategically position myself. Toni’s sessions always left me empowered and ready to take on the world. Her humour and honesty need to be commended. If you are seeking a business coach look no further. I passionately believe you can achieve any goal you want if you have the tools to help you. Toni gave me those tools. I cannot thank you enough Toni."

She lives up to her billing of being a "Critical Friend", and I'd recommend anyone to speak with her if they need no-nonsense direction for their business. Thank you, Toni."
"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."
"In the hands of a gifted woman, great things happen”. (Gift Gugu Mona) That is certainly true of Toni McLelland. I have been working with Toni on and off for over a year now.

My sessions have quite simply changed my life. I used to wake up every day and my first thought would be to just get through it. I now wake up and embrace each day as a gift and I have learned through my sessions how to stop negative thoughts getting in the way of how I want to live my life and achieve my goals.
The workshops you provided on Sexual Exploitation and Self Defence were hugely informative. Our pupils were incredibly grateful for the time and effort, you and your organisations made in being involved in the event, they told me they valued the real-life insights and tips, something that is clear to see in their feedback forms.

"I had the pleasure of working with Toni at a time when I was going through a change management process in a previous role. Having grasped the brief, I was impressed by Toni's initial approach to facilitating an away day for me and my team, and when the away day was delivered Toni engaged the entire team and I saw the morning as a success. Whilst having some fun elements to the day, because of her approach, Toni was able to cut through the tension and identify the underlying issues. It wasn't just me that was impressed with Toni's approach, the team were too and without exception they found the day to be useful. Following the away day Toni provided clear and professional feedback which I was able to utilise to help support change."
