Are You Looking for a Business and Life Coach Who Gets You?

  • Are you spending more time working in your business than on it, with next to no work-life balance?

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed,  experiencing dips in confidence and struggling to make decisions?

  • Are you exhausted and lacking motivation?

If you answered yes to any, or all, of the above, it’s time to work with a dedicated business and life coach who understands the unique pressures you face. I can help you regain work-life balance, boost your confidence, and make clear decisions that grow your business and improve your life.

Fiona Spence: Expert Coaching for Your Business and Wellbeing

If the pressure is mounting and you can feel burnout creeping closer, it’s time to pause and take control. You might be second-guessing decisions, overthinking every move, or finding it hard to switch off – all signs you’re carrying too much, for too long.

With a Master of Business Administration (MBA), certification as a Rapid Results Coach, and over 25 years of experience, I help business owners like you clear the mental clutter, strengthen your mindset, and regain the clarity and confidence to run your business without running yourself into the ground.

Your first step is a free Clarity Call. A relaxed conversation to explore where you are now, where you want to be, and the challenges that might be holding you back. It’s also the best way to see if we’re a great fit to work together and create the lasting change you’re after.

Your Path to Balance and Success Starts Here

What Can a Mindset and Business Coach Do for You?

Maybe you’re like William who was drained, lacking energy, and unsure how to move forward. I helped him regain his motivation and clarity; you can read his testimonial at the bottom of this page. Or perhaps you’re like George used to be, with worries constantly churning in your mind, making it impossible to switch off and get the restful sleep you need. Or you could be procrastinating like Heidi used to, struggling to get started or failing to finish the things that matter most.

I know how overwhelming it feels when your mind won’t switch off and motivation runs dry.

If you don’t act soon, burnout is almost certain. And when you, the business owner, struggle, your whole business feels it.

The good news? With the right mindset and business coaching online (for your convenience) and tailored for busy entrepreneurs, you can regain your mojo, motivation, and momentum.

How Coaching Can Transform Your Business and Life

Effective coaching goes beyond quick fixes. It’s about creating lasting change that helps you grow as both a leader and an entrepreneur.

With personalised business and mindset coaching, you’ll:

  • Gain clear strategies to manage stress and maintain focus

  • Develop stronger decision-making skills that boost confidence

  • Build sustainable habits that keep your energy and motivation high

  • Learn how to prioritise and delegate effectively so your business runs smoothly

  • Strengthen your resilience to navigate challenges without losing momentum

Whether you’re looking for targeted business coaching and mentoring or a results-focused entrepreneur coach to help you develop a bulletproof success mindset, I’m here to help you make rapid, lasting shifts that get you to your goals without burning out.

Do You Feel Like a Fraud Even When You’re Succeeding?

Many business owners and entrepreneurs struggle with a hidden mindset and confidence challenge called Imposter Syndrome. It’s that quiet voice inside telling you you don’t really deserve your success, or you just got lucky, even though you’ve worked hard and proven yourself time and again.

Imposter Syndrome can make you feel like a fraud, as if any moment now people will discover you’re not as capable as they think. You might downplay your achievements, avoid speaking up, or hold back from going after bigger opportunities.

If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone – many successful business owners face this struggle. Recognising it is the first step to breaking free.

If you want to discover whether imposter syndrome is quietly holding you back, take my quick, FREE quiz now. It only takes a few minutes, and at the end, you’ll have the chance to book a call with me to explore how to conquer it.

Online Coaching That Fits Your Life and Drives Results

As a busy business owner or entrepreneur, your time is precious. That’s why I offer two flexible coaching options online, designed to fit your unique needs:

  • Rapid Results Coaching – best if you want to get unstuck fast and create powerful change in just one or two focused sessions.

  • High Performer Program – a monthly partnership for ambitious leaders who want ongoing guidance, burnout avoidance, and an impartial sounding board to sharpen decisions and stay on track.

Whether by phone or video, coaching fits around your schedule, helping you gain clarity, boost confidence, and accelerate your success – without adding stress.

Business & Life Coaching Case Study – Heidi

I also offer coaching for female business owners like Heidi. During her Clarity Call she told me: 

“I know I need to grow my business, but I have lost all motivation, I feel drained. And I’m getting older. If I don’t change things, I’ll have to keep working forever. I don’t want that; I want the money and freedom to do what I want when I want. I need a coach who can help me find solutions, make changes, and move forward.”

See Heidi’s full testimonial below

Heidi particularly wanted to work with a business and life coach for business owners who understood the importance of work-life balance. It quickly became clear that we were a great fit. Within no time, we boosted her motivation, freed up her time and increased her profitability.

A key part of my role as a business and mindset coach is to help you put things into perspective, as Heidi soon found out:

“Once I put things in perspective, I realised that trying to please everyone and never saying ‘no’ was actually holding back my business. Thanks to Fiona’s coaching and support I have become a better communicator, a better boss, and a better director. I feel confident about my future now, I have a clear vision for where I am going and a roadmap of how to get there.” – Heidi

Before long, Heidi learned to stop procrastinating and became an unstoppable juggernaut of action-taking. She felt motivated, energised, and thrilled to find herself enjoying her business again – and you can too!

Worried about Burn Out?

Are you feeling constantly fatigued, even after a good night’s sleep? Struggling to find motivation for tasks you once enjoyed? Feeling detached from your work, your relationships, or life in general?

These could be signs of mental exhaustion that, if left unaddressed, may lead to emotional burnout.

Explore my blog series to learn how to spot the signs early and discover practical strategies to prevent and overcome burnout.

My Role as Your Business and Mindset Coach

As a business owner, you already have the answers within you; it’s just that they’re hard to see when you’re too close to the problem.

As your coach, I won’t tell you what to do. Instead, I’ll provide a clear, impartial sounding board to help you uncover new perspectives and breakthrough insights.

Together, we’ll reveal fresh solutions that cut through old challenges, reignite your motivation, and give you control over your business and life.

With results-focused coaching, you can overcome overwhelm, break free from negative thinking patterns, build a bulletproof mindset, and restore work-life balance – all while rediscovering the joy of running your business.

Testimonials & Success Stories

Read some of the kind words my clients, past and present, have said regarding my coaching approach and how I can help you.

“She empowers you”

“My name is Kathleen and I am the Founder and Creative Overlord of By Ninja, an award-winning brand studio based in Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia.

I first met Fiona at a networking event, and we caught up about a week later to learn more about what each other do. At the time, I knew something within myself wasn’t going so well. We got chatting, and as Fiona started describing the types of people she helps and some of the trigger words they express, a game of ‘bingo’ was happening in my head (I got bingo). I genuinely loved what I do, but I was exhausted. I was not coping with the pressure I’d put on myself to be everything to everyone (but myself). I was frustrated, hyper-emotional, barely sleeping and constantly injuring myself at sports.

During my first session with Fiona, we explored a ‘sleep hack’. That night, I had one of the best sleeps I’d had in a very long time. Sleeping better immediately helped shift my mindset into a more effective space.

In a nutshell, that’s how Fiona works, it’s what she does — she empowers you with the knowledge and tools you need to conquer your ‘thing’, and deliver the greatest, long-term impact.

Six months on and I am so proud of the version of ‘me’ that I have grown into. I have an understanding of what drives me and why. I am more balanced. I sleep. I am more effective overall — a better founder, creative, mentor, friend, daughter, and partner. I have a clearer vision of my future, and what exactly is driving the legacy that I want to build. I am maturing into the version of myself that will actually enable me to achieve my goals, sustainably.”

“Extremely helpful and insightful”

Fiona was extremely helpful and insightful in getting me to find the answers from within.

No right or wrong. No judging. Creating an atmosphere for open dialogue which fostered an in-depth inspection of my life and where I was going or wanted to go.

Best investment ever made!

Retiring but still in the arena!

“Improved Communication”

During my time with Fiona, she was able help me see the changes I needed to make for better communication and to see that how I reacted to other people affected the way they reacted to me.

Since then I have been able to look at life differently and feel ok saying ‘no’ to people when appropriate and to not feel guilty about it.

I communicate better and am on a journey of learning to be more mindful. Talking with Fiona was exactly what I needed.

Small Business Owner

“Crumbling under the pressure”

Hi, my name’s William Ferguson. I’m CEO and founder at Wylas Timing.

Before I met Fiona Spence I was struggling with the business and we had just switched from being a startup to scaleup and I had switched from working full time for someone else to working for my own company. Days had become endless, I was exhausted and not feeling like I was making an impact on the business.

During my coaching program with Fiona, we uncovered the issues that were holding me back and came up with appropriate solutions to them. She helped me see what makes me tick and to use that to better navigate the chaos that is life. As an added bonus I am always surprised and intrigued by the new insights we uncover.
Now I have a business that I am in control of instead of being buried under. I sleep soundly at the end of each day, am content, can point to the value that energy has created and love watching the business grow.

If anyone needs any help with their mindset, career or any part of their life, I would definitely recommend you speak with Fiona.

“Gained motivation, tools and strategies”

Fiona Spence is incredible. She is so easy to talk to, really listens to me and helps me find solutions for things that are in front of me that I often don’t even realise are holding me back.

Before I started my coaching program with Fiona my mind was all over the place. I had no routine and no motivation. I couldn’t sleep because my brain was running at 100 miles per hour. I remember how I would drive my wife mad because I would get distracted all the time.

During my early sessions with Fiona she helped me build my focus and motivation. I was amazed how quickly I started feeling my old happy self again. Fiona helped me learn that there’s a solution to any problem when you look at it differently and you can turn bad thing into good things. And it turns out that being calm, chilled and relaxed isn’t hard!

I now have so much more clarity and my confidence and self-esteem continues to grow. Fiona says I am incredibly creative and thanks to her encouragement and support I’m achieving and getting to where I want to be at. She hasn’t just helped me with the mental things but she is a business whizz and is helping me to grow my business too.

Fiona talking to you has made me feel so much better. I can let go of things, I can control my actions, I love my coaching sessions, speaking with you is so uplifting. Thank you.

George Maccagnan,
Owner of Highland Leather

“Started a Business”

Fiona is a very talented coach, mentor and presenter. She really understands people and she understands business. Her help was invaluable not only to open my own business in Australia, but also to gain the confidence I needed to get started. Thanks, Fiona!

“She genuinely cares”

Fiona Spence is a great business, life and mindset coach.

She genuinely cares about the outcomes that her clients achieve. She’ll keep you on point but will allow you a little slack when needed too. I have achieved a great deal from the 3 month coaching program and am renewing for a second term. I highly recommend Fiona’s services.

“Learned Positive Self-Talk”

Hi, my name is Staci. I am an author and speaker.

I came to work with Fiona Spence at a time in my life when I felt stuck. My life was going well, but there were a couple of areas where I just could not make any progress on my own. I knew I wanted to change and knew that if I didn’t, I would never reach my goals. My self-talk was holding me back, causing anxiety and unhelpful behaviours.

Fiona helped me clarify and define the things holding me back and then provided strategies to create the change I wanted. She kept me accountable and on track, so we continued to build on each of the changes I made. I was surprised at how easy and quickly changes started to happen.

Working with Fiona has helped me improve the way I speak to myself and stop the limits I placed on myself in my personal life and work. Although I initially worked with Fiona for a couple of specific areas in my life, I found improvement in all the other areas as well, as the skills and tools I learnt were transferable. Overall, it was a fun, empowering and positive experience working with Fiona.

Fiona is friendly, focused, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in coaching. I highly recommend working with Fiona.

Staci McLean,

“Built Confidence and launched a business”

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality

I’ve known Fiona Spence for a few years now and she has always been positive and helpful in improving my connection and understanding. She has helped me get more in touch with myself and build my confidence to the point where I have launched my own company helping others.

Fiona is such a great person to help build and improve your state of understanding and develop your life for improvement.
I personally think she is fantastic in what she does. Thank you for all your help and support.

Tony Schauffelberger,
Founder of Quiet Confidence NZ

“Gained a New Lease of Life for her Business”

I have in last 4 weeks taken Fiona on as my mindset coach. I have always understood the importance of having your mindset steadfast and focused if you wish to be successful and create results. Yet, I kept falling back into the negative and self-limiting behaviours. Fiona is keeping me accountable, focused and steadfast on my goals and self-belief.

I cannot believe how in just a few short weeks I have transformed. I am so pumped, excited and have found a new lease of life for my business. I can’t wait to see where I will be in another 4 weeks, 4 months, 4 years from now. Thank you Fiona, I am so grateful to have you in my corner
