“Antonia joined us right at the formative stage of our business and has been an indispensable member of our team ever since. Her wisdom, vision, and ability to nurture ideas has enabled us to put into words from the outset what we wanted our business to be, which has enabled us to grow with confidence that we are fulfilling a shared vision that is meaningful and exciting.

Antonia has been able to take an unbiased and objective view on the shape and direction of new business. This has been incredibly valuable to ensure we grow in the right way, and take on projects that will allow us to grow while staying healthy and happy. Antonia’s huge knowledge of the design and architecture industry has been instrumental in this as well, and we continue to hugely benefit from her understanding of the systems of industry and her eagle eye for finding sources of funding or leads for exciting projects in new sectors.

Antonia is an almost magical communicator and is a fantastic listener and facilitator. Through various workshops, reviews and check-ins we have been able to continually shape how we discuss and frame what we do, so that our output remains accessible, thoughtful and easy to understand. Antonia’s oversight has become a vital part of our studio culture and has given us the opportunity to reflect on the work we do and the impact it has on the people around us, whether as team members, collaborators, clients or the wider communities we are a part of.

Antonia’s role in the studio has since expanded into 1 on 1’s and group workshops that involve the whole studio. Antonia’s people-centric approach to her work is continually shaping us into a people-centric practice, and with Antonia’s guidance, we continue to create a nurturing and supportive studio atmosphere that is ambitious, constructive and self-reflective. Through continual engagement, Antonia has helped us remain accountable to our actions and intents, and has crafted our DEI policy that we strive to uphold and aspire towards. Antonia has a huge heart and an amazing vision, and our studio is immeasurably better because of her.” -SS

“Antonia has supported me and several of my colleagues through a number of complex restructuring processes that I’m not sure we would have survived without her.

I find sessions with her both immensely validating, and helpful in clarifying the best course of action. She quickly understands the problem on multiple levels - including by teasing out the power dynamics that inform everything, but aren’t usually explored in the workplace - and is able to use her experience, skill and emotional intelligence to suggest creative solutions that I wouldn’t have thought of alone.

She’s been flexible in her approach, adapting to meet my needs and extremely generous with her time and energy.” - CE

“Antonia has offered several ideas and concepts that have been useful in reframing my problems, most recently her thoughts on accountability and how to manage time when there's too much to do.

I've always found sessions both energising and surprising - we always seem to uncover lurking ideas and possibilities that enable me to return to work with a positive attitude. I feel more motivated and capable after sessions, and I believe I have become a better manager and team member because I've been able to spend time thinking through more abstract problems and relationship dynamics which are difficult to discuss as part of a working day.

Antonia is a fantastic listener and always has numerous ideas and concepts to try out in response to whatever problems I've thrown at her. She is also remarkably good at pointing out the solutions I've already come up with, and steering me towards what I already know I want or believe in - a subtle but important skill. I always come away from sessions feeling energised and buoyant!” - CR

“Antonia is an indispensable member of any team, the person you didn’t know you needed until you had her, but now absolutely cannot imagine moving forward without. This is characteristic of Antonia’s skillset and approach. She opens up new avenues and starts discussions internally that are so important, yet very easy to initially overlook.

As a facilitator, Antonia has brought attention to our interpersonal relationships by putting our most important asset - people - first, developing systems that mean that everyone is heard. Antonia is able to bring a range of tools to our team, conducting 1:1 sessions with management that focus on strategy, leadership, troubleshooting and personal development adding intangible value to each role and in turn increasing staff satisfaction.

Antonia has helped us review many of the systems we had created during our 11 years+ of operation. We now have more clarity, direction and drive. The business runs more smoothly thanks to her insight, and our team feels happier and more motivated.” - KM

“I found the sessions with Antonia thought-provoking and invigorating. She has helped me to access, hone and develop thoughts that had been swirling around my brain without any useful form or order.

My thinking has developed significantly and I have been able to take those ideas back to my team as we work through questions of organisational development and change” - CG

“Honestly, I wasn't sure how useful the sessions were going to be - I assumed that someone without an in depth knowledge of how our organisation worked might struggle to grasp the broad organisational issues we face.

I've found my sessions with Antonia so, so helpful - she quickly got to the nub of what the problems our organisation faces are, and immediately made me feel very comfortable speaking openly. We managed to resolve some really thorny organisational tensions - I think in part because Antonia made really good practical suggestions for how to structure and run difficult meetings.” - CH

“I’ve just had a fantastic first session with Antonia and feel full of energy and clarity! It was well structured and the follow-up notes gave me clear things to focus on which means her good advice won’t go to waste. Antonia is very good at communicating back what you’re saying in a way that makes it finally sink in. Really looking forward to next time.” - TF

“Regular sessions with Antonia has supported me to build healthy habits, routines, accountability, motivation, excitement, structure, self care, critical judgement, inspiration into my life and healed and restored my ability to dream into the future with real pragmatic steps to build myself up in a way I hadn't been able to before.

Sessions were enjoyable naturally as a conversation, but also greatly inspiring and motivating. Whenever I felt as though I wasn't 'ready' for one, it was always ended up being the time that I needed one the most!

Antonia has been able to distil preoccupations, ideas and goals from my brain and help me strategise ways to put them into practice, both at work and in my life outside of work.” - DP
