I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable lessons acquired from the coaching sessions through Future Ingenium. Some amazing experiences and changes came out of our sessions – the most notable one being clear on what I spend my time on , which has given me courage to change a few things in both my personal and corporate life. I have now gained a new perspective on how I conduct myself in a corporate environment when facing challenges without being overwhelmed . I am now more self-aware on the things happening around me and how best to respond. I will continue to implement the tools gained to keep me on a solid path and provide motivation to propel me towards the long term goals I have planned.

I’ve been a leader for 25 years now… the Becoming your Best course has managed to re-focus my leadership efforts and has reminded me of so many great pieces of advice and tools I’ve picked up over the years. If you are a young leader at the start of your journey, this course will give you a toolbox that will immediately elevate the quality of your leadership – if you are prepared to use the tools presented to you!

Most of the topics covered issues that I’m having with my department. I would highly recommend this course for all Managers and Supervisors. It can only strengthen your position in the company and in life

The Becoming Your Best leadership course helped me prioritise my personal and professional life. It helped me figure out what my strengths are and assisted me in identifying what I truly want in life. Fiona is not only an intelligent facilitator, but she is also very compassionate. She made the course enjoyable from the start right up until the end. I strongly recommend attending the Becoming Your Best leadership course.

BYB focuses mainly on you as an individual and teams you might manage using the 12 Principals. Training encompasses the whole spectrum from your own vision and goals through using the 6 Steps to Planning and Execution to create a better you and how that can affect the environment around you. The 6 Steps are practical and can be applied to solve everyday situations you might encounter. Big emphasis on building your own character, being accountable, not underestimating your capability, and taking charge of the things you CAN control with less focus on the things you can’t control. This course would open the minds of managers / supervisors who might be in a comfort zone or supervisors that have not had any formal training.

Initially, I attended the Becoming your Best programme because I was in a leadership position at the time, and I wanted to improve my leadership skills and capacity. What drew me to this programme was that it seemed to provide practical steps and principles I could use daily. Little did I know that this programme was not just about leadership! It was about becoming the best version of myself not only as a leader, but as a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a friend and most importantly as an individual. One of the key takeaways for me was finally defining a personal vision for myself, which was the foundation for becoming my best. I decided to take responsibility for what I could control and acted on it, instead of wasting energy on things outside of my control. Greatness in = greatness out!

I attended the “BYB” program because I was looking for something to help me get “better” as an individual. Something that was practical that I could use on a day-to-day basis where I could see instant results. I thoroughly enjoyed the practical steps that I learned – which I now use daily. These principles are not rocket science – they are not hard to apply, but the results are almost instantaneous and incredibly impactful. My key takeout of this program was around the “planning” and “prioritizing” principles. By ensuring that you consistently spend 20 minutes a week- planning your week, you can start “doing what matters most”, positively tweak and improve all elements of your world, increase your levels of productivity and quite simply “be better” in all areas of your life!

Thank you for the BYB course, the insightful information has assisted me greatly in all aspects, Work, Personal and more importantly the adoption of realistic prioritization, by giving each task the time it deserves in order for the task to be successfully completed.

I really enjoyed the BYB journey and learned to prioritize what matters most in my life. Along the journey, one moment in particular sticks out for me. We did an exercise to determine the areas we can control and those we can’t. It was simple, effective and something I’ve been needing to do for years without even realizing it. I highly recommend BYB to everyone.

I had first called Fiona for an appointment after seeing an advert for an EQ masterclass at GIBS University. I had been studying at GIBS and had also been working with my team on attempting to understand our culture and the most effective manner for the team to energize towards our goals. We had strong individuals on the team, but I got the sense that we were not connecting as well as I thought we could. In the initial stages, we assessed everyone on the team in terms of a Personal Profile Analysis and Trait Emotional Assessment. This set the base for a meeting with individuals and then the team to consolidate and share the assessment results. The open and transparent discussions that ensued helped the team to understand each other better and paved the way for a journey towards improving team behavior and performance. The first step however was about understanding self and members of the team took individual coaching sessions with Fiona to explore, understand and develop themselves. On a personal note, I found that through this process that I was able to practice skills that allowed for more intimate team and individual meetings and to convey more openly my feelings towards the team. This set the stage for our team workshops, working towards becoming a high-performing team. Although this is an on-going journey, there has already been a shift in the team’s cohesiveness and ‘person to person’ awareness because of the interventions which have improved the team’s collective performance.

In 2021 our company organised coaching sessions for us with Future Ingenium and we all had personal coaches that were selected for us. I was nervous and scared about this, panicking when I thought of the coach that I would get. Meanwhile I was panicking for nothing, as I got the most understanding coach ever which is my dear Candice. She made me feel relaxed and free to talk about everything that was on my mind. She made me realise that I am worthy and I gained confidence throughout the sessions. Every session that we had gave me a lot of guidance and the strength to carry on with life, all because of the humour and care that Candice has. I am now wise and I handle life differently after the sessions. I am grateful that I had an opportunity to be coached by her. I miss the smiles and warmth I received through the Zoom sessions.
