Fiona Macintosh

More than Motivation

Fiona Macintosh is the founder of More Than Motivation, a Caithness-based specialist in leadership, motivation, and workplace wellbeing for small business owners. She helps people who suddenly find themselves as “the boss”, often without any formal training, develop the clarity, confidence, and skills to lead well, support their teams, and create workplaces where people genuinely thrive.

With more than 30 years’ experience leading teams across education, voluntary organisations, and the care sector, Fiona brings a practical, down-to-earth approach grounded in real-world leadership. She blends leadership development, motivation insight, wellbeing support, and optional NLP and advanced hypnosis techniques to help business owners navigate people challenges with confidence and compassion.

Her work is rooted in lived experience: running a croft at Dunnbeag, leading her son’s care team, decades of instructing with the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, and working closely with rural small business owners across the Highlands. Fiona understands the unique pressures faced by micro-businesses and remote employers, and offers practical tools that fit real life – not corporate theory.

Fiona is a Licensed Motivational Maps Practitioner, a Licensed Liberating Leadership Practitioner, and holds multiple qualifications in wellbeing, mental health, education, NLP, and hypnosis.

When she’s not supporting leaders, you’ll find her on the croft surrounded by Kunekune pigs, sheep, dogs, and the occasional muddy adventure; often the source of her most memorable leadership analogies.
