Hi Fiona, I just wanted to say thanks for speaking at the VA conference last week. It was lovely to meet you and your speech has stuck in my head and has inspired me. I empathised with your story and having just ordered another set of HRT patches, thought of you again! 😄

For anyone in the menopause space right now that doesn’t know about Fiona McKay you are truly missing out. I am 33 and have had hormone and gynae problems my entire life and it is probable that in the next 12-18 months I will have to have a full hysterectomy. Fiona’s speech inspired me so much and I believe generations to come will be talking about the work she is doing to support woman in business!

I am delighted to provide a glowing testimonial for Fiona, who recently conducted a Menopause Maze session for my key female staff. Fiona's expertise in menopause was evident from the outset, as she seamlessly blended her extensive knowledge with an approachable and friendly demeanour.
Fiona's ability to create a comfortable and open environment allowed our staff members to engage wholeheartedly in the session. Her presentation was not only informative but also delivered with a genuine passion for helping others navigate the complexities of menopause in business and careers. The ladies who attended the session expressed their gratitude for Fiona's approach, noting how her friendly demeanour made the discussion both accessible and relatable.
The session proved to be a valuable experience for our staff members, as we as a business, gained valuable insights and a deeper understanding of menopause. Fiona's ability to connect with the audience and deliver information in a relatable manner ensured that the session was not only educational but also enjoyable.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fiona to any organization seeking an expert in menopause education, talent retention and business strategy. Her professionalism, knowledge, and friendly approach make her an exceptional resource in providing valuable insights and support for women and workplaces going through this significant life stage. Thank you, Fiona, for making a positive impact on our team!

Fiona has been integral in my success and she has played a key role in helping me to manage rapid change and achieve significant growth in my own career and our US business.
She is my Exec Coach, and she has worked across multi-functions and disciplines in our US business with ease, both internally with our talent and externally with our clients, as well as being a keynote speaker at a number of high ticket events for our clients.
Fiona works at rapid pace and understands the huge changes that leaders face in hyper-growth portfolio companies. She has helped me maximize unique opportunities and plays a key role to me as an advisor too. She has a straight-forward style and action driven approach that really resonates with me.
I recommend Fiona to any hyper-growth leader pre and post PE acquisition who are really serious about achieving their highest performance and leadership potential.

I engaged Fiona as my Executive Coach having moved to the UK from Australia.
Fiona’s authenticity, intellect, professionalism, direct and candid style impressed me immediately and her deep experience gave me complete confidence in her abilities.
Fiona has helped me work through a number of major career transitions, including moving from Australia to the UK, returning to work after parental leave, and winning my first MD role of a PLC.
I also experienced significant challenges with some colleagues’ behavioural issues during this time, and she supported my resilience by providing effective guidance and coaching. She helped me double down on my self-efficacy, enhance my self-awareness, confidence and assertiveness, and leverage these skills to be a more effective leader.
By having regular structured sessions with Fiona, I remained focused on my goals and confident in my ability to achieve them. I had a safe place to discuss and resolve the big issues and reflect on my progress. In my view, this approach gives me a huge advantage as it helps me reflect and take stock of issues, think through problems and possible solutions, and hence maintain calm and confidence through greater resilience. Through this approach, I continually focus on being the best version of myself.
I find Fiona’s style, methods and guidance invaluable and I would highly recommend her!

Thank you Fiona McKay. If you had not made me aware of the lack of HRT, I myself would be without my very necessary medication this weekend. Menopause and the issues we currently face whether it be through lack of required medication, or the physical and mental problems are so difficult but through the information and solutions you share and your speaking it helps massively !!

‘Fiona is a dynamic and fascinating keynote speaker, and she is also very valuable as a host for interactive discussions. She has hosted a number of conferences I have organised, and they have always been a great success. The engagement levels she encourages, her personable approach and the knowledge of her topic always means that people ask many questions and ask to get in touch with her after the session is over! She is a very impressive business-person who inspires you to do more, be better and to think more innovatively.’
