Gerdi with Fi Macmillan on the importance of being true to yourself
Fi Macmillan is an adventurer, coach, supervisor and entrepreneur.
She started her career however in the world of marketing, planning and delivering direct marketing campaigns for brands like British Sky Broadcasting, Volvo and the British Heart Foundation.
In the second half of the 1990’s she shifted her focus somewhat and founded an agency specialising in direct marketing recruitment.
Between 2001 and 2008 Fi took a break from what is often called professional life to — as she herself puts it — “learn to be a mum”.
Once she had that sort of figured out, she had a brief stint in local politics as a political group leader. My guest then became a full-time coach specialising in one-on-one coaching of individuals in corporate environments helping them become more effective leaders.
In 2018 she founded her own coaching practice ‘Wild Leadership’. Working with and in Nature she coaches leaders to develop capacity and presence. Nature that by the way is not just the surroundings in which her coaching takes place, but also the Nature of her clients themselves.
Fi has a Master of Science in Executive Coaching, a Post-graduate degree in Coaching & Development,. She is an Ashridge Accredited Coach and a Member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
She is a passionate adventurer and lover of Nature who has hiked long distances. Her favourite place is the French Alps.
