“I really valued speaking with Fiona after completing an interview for an executive position with Hutton Consulting. It was the best feedback I have ever had – honest, constructive and encouraging. I now have some concrete strategies to use in my next interview. Fiona also gave me some suggestions to consider that will be very useful in strengthening facets of my own leadership.”

My engagement with you and the whole team at Hutton Consulting has sparked an incredible period of professional growth, which I am certain will continue in my new working environment.
