Testimonials

It was brilliant to have Helena at the Barnes RFC Annual City Lunch recently. Helena worked really well with our other panellists. She provided a very enthusiastic and polished performance as one of England’s brightest rugby talents. It was a joy to welcome her into the Barnes family, and it was pretty amazing for a room of 500 to rise as one and celebrate her talent.
Pink Rhino Consulting

Helena spoke in an informative and inspiring way, captivating the interest of her Year 8 audience. She drew on her considerable personal experience and illustrious career to date as an International Rugby player to make parallels between sporting involvement and personal development that transcend all areas of life. She encouraged the students to reflect on the importance of teamwork, perseverance and collaboration and to seize all opportunities they are exposed to. The multitude of questions that the students had for Helena at the end of her talk showed that the topics covered had really penetrated their young minds and included areas such as dealing with injury and setbacks, self-esteem, persevering against the odds and standing up for their beliefs and values. Helena was highly relatable, kind and gentle in approach.
