Such was the success of this event, I am aware of at least 3 Regional Directors who have used her at their own Regional Conferences and I would certainly want to at my next one. As well as her stage activities, Shona also circulates monthly communications, which again have had hugely positive feedback.”

Shona provided action items and tips to over 200 of our female attorneys and we received a lot of positive feedback from her session.

“I attended one of Shona’s personal branding workshops last year and was pleasantly surprised at how many ‘uh huh’ moments I had! Labelling the imposter syndrome and learning how to tackle it has been a game changer. Shona is genuine and authentic and really engages with everyone attending her workshops. The fact that her workshops are sold out speaks volumes on how she is making a difference, and creating an impact. Catch her If you can!”

Royal Bank of Scotland

“Shona’s ‘Inspiring Peak Performance’ program was one of the most enjoyable and thought provoking courses I have been on during my 25yrs in Financial Services. Shona has a real desire to add value and makes things seem so simple “why wouldn’t you want to do it that way”. I took some great ideas and implemented them in my business with immediate results from improved sales performance to higher levels of staff engagement. We also had a follow up session which further embedded my learns, hence I would certainly recommend Shona’s ‘Performance Consulting’ to any leader or business.”
Brian Cunningham
Area Director

“There is no doubt that Shona Rowan is one of the most positive and upbeat individuals that you will meet. Shona delivered a fantastic session on Personal Branding and Competing in a Competitive Environment at one of our internal networking events.

I highly recommend Shona as a professional and inspirational speaker.”
Karen Lintott
Global Learning, Human Resources

“When Shona spoke at our national conference, I was completely unprepared for my reaction. Having listened to countless ‘motivational speakers’ over the years; this was the first time I’d experienced the entire audience hanging on someone’s every word. I knew straight away that I wanted Shona to speak for our Glasgow based networking forum called Connections. Again in Glasgow she blew everyone away and delivered another outstanding presentation! Thanks Shona! Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious and everyone came away feeling the same way I did. I’m confident that Shona can make a difference to any company, group or individual in search of better results!”

“I have worked with Shona recently on the International Women’s Day events that Citi hosted in London. We put together 2 fantastic sessions; one an invitation only senior management breakfast on “Managing Through Adversity” and a second lunchtime ‘open to all session’ on “Managing Your Career in an Ever Changing Corporate Environment”. Both were very well attended and we had super feedback on both! Shona’s delivery style is very enthusiastic, polished and professional. She delivers an excellent service to her clients and we are looking forward to working with her further.”
Joanna Guthrie

“Shona has delivered two fantastic sessions for us within our “Step Out Stand Out” program! She exudes such positive energy and gives such practical advice that at each session everyone came away with something that they could either put into practice straight away or an idea of how they could do something differently. These sessions are aimed at a very mixed audience and Shona managed to enthuse and make the sessions real to everyone who attended both in person and over the video links which sent the session to between 15 and 20 countries across the EMEA.”
Carol Stuart
