Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
“We used Dr. Peters to talk to both the whole of Year 7 and their parents in separate meetings. This is the second year she has addressed both audiences and her messages are clear, delivered with humour and good sense. Fiona can answer any question – no matter how left field! – and she develops a quick and open rapport with her audiences. Her talks are based on therapeutic good practice, personal experience and contemporary research and she speaks with authority and compassion.” - Lizzie, Head of Pastoral Care, St Paul's School for Girls
“Fiona was the main speaker at our staff training session this year. She spoke with confidence and conviction, engaging an audience of more than 200 teachers and support staff with clarity and authority. Her presentation was by some margin the most impressive that I have heard on the subject of race and anti-racism and I have no doubt that she will have made a lasting impact.” - Richard, Headmaster, Colfes School
