WHO IS FIORI GIOVANNI? The following comment from the director of an accounting firm captures the essence of what Fiori's clients believe: "My decision to appoint Fiori as a business coach was one of the best decisions I've made for myself as well as my company. She has a wide range of knowledge and an excellent understanding of business models. Fiori delivered pragmatic solutions underpinned with a commitment to achieving results."

Fiori is an in-demand business coach who partners with high level executives and small business owners to: develop leadership skills, build high performance sales teams, create stability, drive profits, tackle major challenges, expand their client base, increase their confidence and so much more. Fiori holds both European and Australian qualifications in business management, accounting and director secretariat. She's also studied Microsoft Office Business intelligence software and the global share market, focusing on USA options and FOREX. An adept all-rounder, Fiori has held positions in administration, project management, business development, public relations and staff liaison.
Although Fiori speaks five languages, the language she speaks most fluently and frequently is the language of hope and conviction; particularly when delivering keynote presentations. She connects deeply with every audience member as she shares her story of tenacity and resolve. Her story inspires people to question their own status quo in order to step outside their comfort zones to live rich, rewarding lives. Not the lives mapped out by others or even themselves.
