Shona Hirons

Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events

“Shona Hirons partnered with Velocity Global as Resilience Coach over the past year. Shona first delivered her signature speech to our employees which truly resonated with so many of our people and we then asked Shona back to support our employees navigating through remote work in an international context (we have employees across 55+ countries across six continents). Shona talks with passion and from her own experience, and she has an amazing ability to apply a practical tool box enabling everyone she worked with to take ownership of their own boundaries, managing their time and responses more effectively and becoming an all around Resilience Coach. Thank you Shona!” - Sarah, Chief People Officer

"I have been fortunate to hear Shona’s ‘Broken to Bionic’ talk and found it not only inspiring but very relevant.  Listening to ‘real life’ struggles turn to great success’s is very powerful and moving.  Shona puts this over in such a way that is engaging, interesting and useful.

The beauty of how Shona lays out her story, she wraps it with easy to understand and useful take away tools.  Not just a talk but useable tips on burnout, stress anxiety, self-management and more.

In today’s fast paced and high pressured environment, Shona’s message and content is not only useful, it is vital.

Fantastic speaker, author and coach. Very highly recommended.” - Stuart, Commercial Director

"Unfortunately there's no classification for "Shona gave a brilliant presentation at two of my events" but that's precisely what she did and impressed me (and more importantly the delegates) so much that I've invited her to be part (a major part) of the Six O'Clock Club Small Business Summer School.

Shona has a great story to tell about how she overcame adversity but much more than this is the way she's using that experience to help stressed out business owners (like me) achieve far better balance and purpose in their lives.

Whether you're looking for a talented and inspirational speaker or seeking help to work smarter and bring the stress levels down in your business...

Speak to Shona!" - Mike

"I heard Shona give a keynote speech at an event in Bristol. She was engaging, insightful and amusing and I was hanging off every word. If you haven't heard her story, then get yourself to an event she is speaking at. I also had the pleasure at sitting at her table for dinner and enjoyed chatting to her very much." - Martin, Director and Safety Supervisor

"Quite recently I attended a meeting at which Shona took the speaking slot. I was impressed by the way she engaged the audience immediately and was willing to show some vulnerability which achieved empathy from the audience. Shona talked about her career and the learnings that had brought her to this event.
She has a great message for the attendees in terms of how you can use your thoughts to bring about the best outcomes for yourself.
There were plenty of questions asked after Shona spoke which in my book is a great sign of an audience really thinking about the message.
I would not hesitate to recommend Shona's speaking ability especially her engagement skills and besides all that she really is a very nice person." - Adrian, Fulfilment Coach

"In 2021, The Jordan Legacy CIC was blessed to have several inspiring speakers at our very first Hope for Life (UK) COnference and your story SHona was truly inspirations and powerful. I remember thinking at the time, how can one person experience so much trauma and still keep going and actually thrive, not just exist.

If you're looking to book a inspirational story about triumph over destiny, I can't recommend Shona highly enough!!" - Steve, Suicide Prevention and Workplace Wellbing Advocate
