    “Myself and an amazing bunch of women from ATCO Gas completed Shona’s 6 month program called “The Psychology of Successful Women – Career Acceleration Program”. We have learnt a lot, and have been given heaps of practical takeaways. I highly recommend Shona’s course and I cannot wait to read Shona’s new book!” 

    Sheree Wigley

    ATCO

    “I found Shona’s Career Acceleration Program insightful, informative and enjoyable! Each topic was clear and provided practical, real-word examples. It was an added bonus to also get to know a group of inspiring, like-minded women. I would highly recommend the program to anyone wanting to develop tools to challenge some of the issues commonly faced by professional women and accelerate their career.”

    D'Arne Corr

    Communications, Marketing and Events Manager, Waalitj Foundation

    “Shona provided me with tailored and actionable advice where I needed it the most. I took part in her Career Acceleration Program and I found Shona to be insightful, inspiring and a quick thinker – adapting her content to fit the needs of our group. I would highly recommend joining Shona’s program, it’s like having a kick-ass mentor for 6 months.”

    Amanda Nicklaus

    Manager, Pexapark

    “Shona ran a session for our ‘BakerWomen’ community on how to “Step Up and Stand Out from the Crowd”, and have impact, influence and visibility. It was such an engaging, motivational and inspiring session! The session was delivered via Zoom and Shona’s warmth, authenticity, positivity and energy definitely shone through. The engaging presentation, thoughtful content and meaningful practical exercises made it one of the best sessions I have experienced! We all left the session feeling truly motivated to stop playing small, increase our personal impact and presence, and implement our personal action plans!”

    Natalie Mascarenhas

    Talent Management Consultant, Baker McKenzie

    “Wow the last 6 months have flown by participating in Shona Rowan’s Career Acceleration Program. Thoroughly enjoyed the interesting module content, fantastic takeaways each month and great opportunity to meet other like-minded ladies. Bonus – a copy of Shona’s The Psychology of Successful Women book to keep practising those newly learnt skills! Highly recommend this practical and inspirational program.”

    Tiffany Jones

    Service Delivery Manager, Bankwest

    “We invited Shona Rowan to deliver her keynote presentation ‘The Psychology of Successful Women’ in three of our offices in Australia. The event was a great success, our clients and staff were very impressed with Shona and found her to be an engaging presenter. In fact some of our clients were so impressed they too have reached out to work with her.”

    Kirsten Duncan

    Learning & Development Manager, DLA Piper

    “We recently launched a ‘Women in Leadership’ initiative within Lockton in the Middle East region and we wanted to kick it off with a workshop which would help the development of our future female leaders here at Lockton. Shona tailor-made a session to suit our particular requirements and was attentive to every detail. The afternoon was dynamic, fun and extremely informative. It was highly appreciated by the diverse range of females in the room. Shona is clearly extremely passionate about this subject and that passion was addictive. I would highly recommend her to any other company wanting to invest in their females – she will definitely exceed expectations.”

    Lama Sweis

    COO, Lockton

    “As an organisation that supports women in progressing their careers in male dominated environments, Shona Rowan is the ideal inspirational speaker for our members. Shona has run several workshops for WTS London and these have all been a huge success! The sessions were all on different topics, including networking, personal branding and the psychology of successful women, but they all incorporated the same high level energy and interaction that has proved to be extremely popular. We have had fantastic feedback and our members appreciate the practical advice they take away from these sessions that they can apply immediately to their day-to-day roles.”

    Christine Hurley

    Women in Transport London

    “I’ve been lucky enough to join a number of Shona’s events held for the Shell UK women’s network over the years. Her passion, enthusiasm and energy and wonderfully engaging style of delivery motivates me to immediately practice everything I have learnt! Shona also writes amazing newsletters that somehow seem to find their way into my inbox just when I need it the most – always insightful and inspirational!”
