About Iona
Hello, I’m Iona — an Executive English and Communication Coach specialising in helping professionals communicate with clarity, confidence, and influence in global workplaces.
I have over 20 years' experience in business, communications, coaching, mentoring, and education. I am passionate about helping people be the best version of themselves. I can help you improve your communication, business English and prepare you to make the most of opportunities in life.
My background includes leadership coaching, stakeholder engagement, organisational communication, emotional intelligence mentoring, and positive mindset coaching. I’ve led diverse teams, delivered communication training, and supported professionals, senior executives, and ministers across government, corporate, and community sectors.
I currently work as a management consultant and have Senior Executive experience in government organisations. I studied Business Administration at the University of Technology, Sydney and hold qualifications in project management, education, teaching English as a second language, and writing.
I bring this experience directly into my coaching. My sessions go beyond language learning and focus on helping you become a confident, capable communicator in English.
