“We booked Fiona to speak at our recent Women’s Leadership Conference which I chaired.  She gave us a really insightful and straightforward glimpse into what it takes to build a successful business as a female entrepreneur.  Fiona is inspiring and accessible, and gave our delegates great tips and tools on how to be a successful leader.  I enjoyed working with her and I recommend her to any conference chair or event organiser looking for a super speaker.”

Professor Abigail Gregory, Associate Dean Internationalisation & Director Athena SWAN, University of Salford

“Fiona is a dynamic and fascinating keynote speaker, and she is also very valuable as a host for panel and interactive discussions. She has hosted a number at conferences I have organised, and they have always been a great success. The engagement levels she encourages, her personable approach and the knowledge of her topic always means that people ask many questions and ask to get in touch with her after the session is over! She is a very impressive business-person who inspires you to do more, be better and to think more innovatively.”​

FIONA MCKAY SPEAKS TO ITV ON THE SCANDALOUS HRT SHORTAGES

Fiona speaks exclusively to ITV News on the scandalous HRT supply issue in the UK with The Minster for Primary Care, Maria Caulfied MP being asked to reply.


Fiona is honestly one of the best speakers I have ever seen - I have never seen a large audience connect with a speaker like that before. She was so earnest, authentic and passionate. I was truly captivated and could have listened to her talk all night. The way she encouraged and enabled the attendees to interact with her and each other was inspiring and the reason why I set up High Flying Women in the first place. I look forward to working with Fiona again in the future
