          Knowledge 
            – that is education in its true sense – is our best protection 
            against unreasoning prejudice and panic-making fear, whether engendered 
            by special interest, liberal minorities, or panic-stricken leaders

             Fiona 
              Marshall - Associate Consultant 
              Fiona is an independent consultant specialising in corporate social 
              responsibility (CSR); organisational change; and leadership development. 
              With a Business Studies degree and over 20 years’ experience 
              including heading up management training and development for Marks 
              & Spencer in Scotland, Fiona now runs her own consultancy and 
              has achieved impressive results for a broad client base including 
              the Scottish Rugby Union, Scottish Business in the Community, Royal 
              Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh Council and the Scottish Executive. 
            Fiona is particularly knowledgeable in the strategic 
              arena of CSR and has worked with both agencies and employers to 
              develop inclusive programmes including providing work placements 
              for individuals who would traditionally may find it difficult to 
              join or return to a working environment e.g. disabled people, homeless 
              people, people with addictions, ex-offenders and parents returning 
              to work after bringing up their families.  
            In her consultancy practice, Fiona is known and respected 
              by those who have worked with her as a highly motivating, passionate 
              and successful developer of people and her strong interpersonal 
              skills, together with her direct approach ensure she is equally 
              impactful whether working with individuals, teams or at an organisational 
              level. As a qualified practitioner of both “Firo B” 
              and “Profile Match” psychometric testing, Fiona is well 
              equipped with the skills and tools to make a real difference.  
            When not working, Fiona loves to travel - particularly 
              in Italy - doing logic puzzles, and reading non-fiction.

           To 
            be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is 
            the only end of life.
